Retaining Walls are engineered structures designed to hold back soil and prevent it from sliding or eroding. They are commonly built using materials such as concrete blocks, natural stone, timber, or brick. Besides providing structural support, retaining walls can also add aesthetic value to a landscape by introducing vertical interest and defining garden beds, walkways, or driveways.

Retaining Walls and Terracing adds many benefits to the health and beauty of your walls. Here are answers to commonly asked questions so that you feel assured and comfortable moving forward.
Creating functional and visually appealing retaining walls and terraces requires careful planning, skilled execution, and quality materials. Here’s how our step-by-step process works:
1. Initial Consultation & Site Assessment
We begin with an on-site visit to assess your property’s layout, slope, soil type, and drainage conditions. During this consultation, we’ll:
2. Design & Planning
Next, we develop a custom design that balances functionality, safety, and style. This includes:
3. Permits & Approvals
If local regulations require permits for structural walls or significant landscape changes, we handle the permitting process to ensure compliance with building codes and zoning laws.
4. Site Preparation
Before construction begins, we prepare the site by:
Clearing vegetation and debris
Excavating and leveling the slope
Installing temporary supports if needed
5. Drainage & Foundation Installation
Proper drainage is critical. We install:
A solid, compacted base or footing
Drainage pipes and gravel backfill to prevent water pressure buildup behind the wall
6. Construction of Retaining Walls and Terraces
Our skilled team builds the walls and terraces using high-quality materials and precise techniques. This phase includes:
7. Final Touches & Landscaping
Once the structure is complete, we add finishing touches such as:
Topsoil and planting in terraces, Mulch, sod, or ground cover, Cleanup of the site and debris removal
8. Inspection & Walkthrough
We finish with a full quality check and a client walkthrough to ensure everything meets your expectations. Maintenance tips and care guidelines are also provided.
Retaining walls and terracing play a crucial role in both landscape design and structural safety, especially in sloped or uneven terrain. They offer a range of practical and aesthetic benefits that make them essential for residential, commercial, and agricultural spaces.
Successful retaining wall and terracing projects require the right tools and machinery to ensure precision, safety, and long-lasting results. Below is a list of the key equipment we use during various stages of the process.
The time required to complete a retaining walls and terracing project can vary based on the scope, site conditions, materials used, and complexity of the design. However, here’s a general breakdown:
Unlike lawn care or seasonal landscaping, retaining walls and terracing don’t need frequent servicing—but regular inspections and occasional maintenance are important to protect your investment and ensure long-term stability.
The best time of year to build or repair retaining walls and terraces is typically during the spring, summer, and early fall—when weather and soil conditions are most favorable.

"Outdoor Assassins LLC Co was the only company to provide a quote for 5 trees to be removed (2 very large). I had 5 other companies come out, but never quoted or couldn't do the job. To say I am happy with them would be an understatement. The communication was great through the whole process. They did the job in 1 day and my yard looks better than it did before they got here. All the workers were very nice and considerate."

"Had them remove a large oak tree and cut back a large maple tree on my nephew's property. The oak tree hung over the roof quite a bit and took equipment and skill to safely remove it. They did a great job and love it that the owner,/boss is there on site working along with the crew - you get top notch work done with that - highly recommend."

I have nothing but praise for the job Odassassinsnc Co did in removing two trees from our front and back yard. I was impressed by the care they took in protecting our lawn from damage and the clean up afterwards. They are really safety minded for their crew and for the property owner and are quite adept in working in small spaces. I highly recommend them.
