Retaining Walls
Engineered Retaining Wall Designs for Sleepy Hollow Properties
Designed to Support, Guide & Endure in the Sonoma Area
A well-built wall holds land in place, carves out space, and allows a property to settle with confidence. In hillside gardens across Mill Valley, stepped terraces in Belvedere, and sloped entries in Kentfield, retaining walls bring both form and function to outdoor spaces.
At Heritage Landscapes, we design and construct retaining walls as part of larger, integrated landscape projects—never in isolation, always in conversation with the site. Every line, finish, and foundation is thoughtfully placed, engineered for longevity, and built to feel native to the environment.
Boost Landscape Stability with a Retaining Wall in Sleepy Hollow, CA
A durable retaining wall in Sleepy Hollow, CA provides essential support for properties shaped by rolling hills, shifting soils, and limited flat spaces. These structures help prevent erosion, protect foundations, and control water flow while giving homeowners more functional outdoor areas. With the right materials and engineering methods, retaining walls can transform uneven yards into usable terraces, planting zones, and entertainment areas. Proper drainage, compaction, and structural reinforcement are crucial to ensuring long-term strength. Partnering with an experienced team like Heritage Landscapes allows homeowners to feel confident that their retaining wall is built with precision and an understanding of local terrain challenges. Together, these elements create a landscape that is secure, visually appealing, and designed to withstand the region’s unique environmental demands.
We bring the same care to retaining walls as we do to planting and lighting, focusing on proportion, material integrity, and how each element will age. Walls guide movement, support grade, and shape space, but their beauty is in the details: a curve that follows the land, stone that echoes the surroundings, and craftsmanship that settles quietly into place.
Common materials include:
Retaining Walls That Belong to the Garden
Natural stone (dry-stack or mortared)
Concrete block with veneer
Board-formed or cast-in-place concrete
Corten or steel-edged solutions for modern transitions
Terraced systems with integrated drainage and plantable space
Every wall we build is structurally engineered, properly drained, and designed to evolve with the landscape it supports.

Built as Part of the Whole
Heritage Landscapes does not offer retaining walls as a standalone service. They are always integrated into broader landscape overhauls—where grading, planting, lighting, and surface transitions all work in harmony. This allows us to build walls that do more than hold—they belong.
