Types of Retaining Walls We Install

Every property is different. That’s why we offer customized retaining wall solutions tailored to your landscape and structural needs.


Concrete Block Retaining Walls

Concrete block retaining walls are one of the most popular options in Ashland City. They provide:


  • Exceptional durability
  • Strong load-bearing capacity
  • Clean, uniform appearance
  • Long-term resistance to weather and soil pressure

These walls are ideal for managing elevation changes and supporting patios, driveways, and backyard terraces.


Natural Stone Retaining Walls

For homeowners who want a more organic look, natural stone retaining walls blend beautifully with Tennessee landscapes. They provide:


  • Timeless, natural aesthetic
  • Strong structural performance
  • Increased curb appeal
  • Unique texture and character

Stone walls are excellent for decorative landscaping and garden tiering while still offering reliable soil support.


Decorative Landscape Retaining Walls

Not every retaining wall needs to be structural. Decorative walls can:


  • Define garden beds
  • Create visual focal points
  • Add dimension to flat yards
  • Improve overall landscape design

We design landscape retaining walls that complement your home’s architecture and outdoor features.


Structural & Erosion Control Walls

Ashland City properties often experience drainage challenges due to sloped terrain and seasonal rainfall. Structural retaining walls help:


  • Prevent soil erosion
  • Stabilize steep grades
  • Protect foundations
  • Manage water runoff

We carefully engineer these walls with proper base preparation and drainage systems to ensure long-term performance.

Our Retaining Wall Installation Process

At Nickens Outdoor Solutions, we follow a detailed, professional process to ensure your retaining wall is built correctly from the ground up.


1. Site Evaluation & Consultation

We assess your property’s slope, soil condition, drainage patterns, and overall landscape goals. This allows us to recommend the right type of retaining wall for your needs.


2. Design & Drainage Planning

Drainage is critical for retaining wall longevity. We incorporate proper grading, backfill materials, and drainage systems to prevent water buildup and hydrostatic pressure.


3. Excavation & Base Preparation

A strong retaining wall starts with a properly prepared foundation. We excavate and compact a solid base to ensure structural stability.


4. Professional Installation

Using high-quality materials and precise construction techniques, we build your retaining wall to industry standards.


5. Final Inspection & Cleanup

We ensure everything is level, secure, and properly draining before completing the project. Your property is left clean and ready to enjoy.
