Where Strength

Turn your sloped yard into a beautiful, usable outdoor space, designed and built by Atlanta’s premier licensed contractors.
Custom Concrete Retaining Walls
Designed for Your Property
At Atlanta Porch & Patio, we design and build custom retaining walls that do more than hold back soil. A well-built wall gives you level, usable ground, adds beauty to your landscape, and protects your yard for years to come. Our favorite approach for many homes is the concrete block retaining wall, a wall system that pairs a clean look with real structural integrity.
Our design-to-build team handles everything under one roof. We work in natural stone, poured concrete, modular block, and more, matching the material to your home and the way you want to live outside.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a segmental concrete block retaining wall?
A segmental concrete block retaining wall is built from interlocking modular concrete blocks that stack without mortar. These segmental systems rely on their own weight, and often on geogrid reinforcement, to hold back soil. Each block is engineered with high compressive strength, which gives the finished wall strong structural stability. Homeowners like them for their clean look and their design flexibility.
How is a segmental block wall different from a poured concrete wall?
A poured concrete wall is formed as one solid piece. A segmental block wall is assembled from individual wall block units set on a compacted leveling pad. The block approach is known for its ease of installation, which allows faster installation and gives you more curves, corners, and color options. Both can be engineered for heavy loads, though segmental walls are often the more cost-effective choice for homes.
What is geogrid reinforcement, and do I need it?
Geogrid reinforcement is a geosynthetic reinforcement material laid between rows of block and extended back into the soil. It ties the wall to the ground behind it and helps resist lateral pressure from the hillside. A taller wall, or one holding back a steep slope, usually needs it. Our team reviews your soil pressure and slope to decide what your wall requires.
What materials can a retaining wall be built from?
We build with modular block, poured concrete, natural stone, and concrete masonry units, plus stone masonry for a higher-end finish. Some wall systems use a pin system to lock courses together, while others interlock by shape. We help you weigh aesthetic appeal, long-term durability, and budget to land on the right fit.
Can you build a freestanding wall or a gravity wall?
Yes. A freestanding wall is finished on both faces and works well for seating areas, garden borders, or framing an outdoor kitchen. Shorter walls are often gravity walls that hold soil back through weight alone. Taller builds get added structural support and structural strength through reinforcement and proper drainage.
Do I need a building permit for a retaining wall in Atlanta?
Most retaining wall projects in the Atlanta area need a building permit, especially walls above a set height. We handle the permit process for you so nothing gets missed.
