Erosion Control & Structural Walls
Stone retaining walls and garden walls that hold back soil and add lasting structure to sloped properties.
Lionheart Designz builds custom walls for homeowners across Longmont and the Front Range.
Many yards along the Front Range sit on sloped lots shaped by the foothills, with heavy clay soil that expands and contracts through freeze-thaw cycles each winter. Without a properly engineered retaining wall, that movement leads to erosion, shifting patios, and soggy planting beds after spring runoff.
Lionheart Designz approaches every retaining wall installation as a structural project first and a design project second. We evaluate drainage, slope, and soil composition before laying a single block, then build stone retaining walls and garden walls that hold their line season after season.
We also account for Longmont and Boulder County guidelines on wall height and drainage, so your project moves through any required permitting smoothly. The result is outdoor wall construction that looks intentional, shapes your yard, and performs under real Colorado conditions for homeowners throughout Longmont, Boulder, and the surrounding Front Range communities.
A well-built retaining wall solves practical problems while adding real character to a property. Beyond holding back soil, these walls create usable space on lots that would otherwise be difficult to landscape.
Whether you need a tall structural retaining wall or a low decorative garden wall around a flower bed, we size the design to match the job and the soil it sits in.
How We Build Your Wall
Every retaining wall project starts with understanding what the soil and slope are actually doing on your property. From there, we move through a clear, step-by-step build so you always know what comes next.
We walk your property to assess slope, drainage patterns, and soil type, then discuss your goals for the space, whether that is erosion control, a new garden bed, or a leveled yard.
We design the wall to the correct height, batter, and base depth for your site, and help you choose from stone, block, or timber options that match your home's style.
Our crew excavates to proper depth, compacts a solid base, and installs drainage gravel and pipe behind the wall so water moves away instead of building up pressure.
We build the wall course by course, backfill correctly, and finish grading around it before walking the completed project with you to confirm everything meets expectations.
Why Choose Us
A retaining wall carries real structural responsibility, holding back tons of soil and water pressure over decades of use. Cutting corners on base prep or drainage leads to bulging, leaning, or failed walls within a few years.
Lionheart Designz brings over 15 years of combined hardscaping experience to every retaining wall installation, backed by clear communication from the first site visit to the final walkthrough.
We install proper base material, compaction, and drainage behind every wall, not just the visible stone, so your landscape walls hold up through Colorado's freeze-thaw seasons.
From natural stone retaining walls to clean modern block designs, we take the time to align courses and finish edges so the wall looks as good as it performs.
You'll know the timeline, materials, and cost before we break ground, with our team available to answer questions and walk you through decisions at every stage.
