Grade and slope
Review how the proposed wall relates to the existing grade and intended use of the property.

Make grade more workable
Coordinate retaining walls with slope, drainage, access, and the surrounding landscape to shape more usable outdoor space.
Project fit
Retaining walls can help manage grade changes, define outdoor areas, and integrate slopes into a broader landscape plan. DR Construction & Landscape installs retaining walls as part of residential and commercial landscape work across Jackson and Josephine counties.
Every property is different. Wall location, height, grade, drainage, base preparation, site access, and adjacent landscape elements all need to be discussed before the project can be accurately scoped.
Approved DR project photographyWhat to consider
Review how the proposed wall relates to the existing grade and intended use of the property.
Consider how water moves behind, around, and away from the wall and adjacent landscape.
Identify equipment access, material movement, existing features, and site-preparation needs.
Coordinate the wall with steps, hardscape, planting, irrigation, or a complete landscape installation.
Why DR Construction & Landscape
A clear first step
A useful estimate begins with more than the wall dimensions.
Explain the grade problem, desired outdoor use, or landscape change you want the wall to support.
Provide photos, approximate dimensions, access information, and any visible drainage concerns.
Discuss whether grading, drainage, excavation, hardscape, or planting belongs in the same project.
The DR team reviews the landscaping scope and next steps for an estimate.
Common questions
Retaining walls may help manage a grade change, support a terraced layout, define an outdoor area, or coordinate a slope with the rest of the landscape.
Water movement is an important site condition. Drainage around the wall and adjoining grade must be considered during project scoping.
Yes. Retaining walls can be coordinated with hardscape, grading, drainage, irrigation, and plant-installation work.
Photos, approximate dimensions, the desired use of the area, access limitations, and known grade or drainage concerns are helpful for the first conversation.
