Retaining Walls

Retaining Walls in Adams, WI | Shoreline, Yard, and Landscape Walls

Professional Retaining Wall Installation in Adams, Wisconsin

Retaining walls are one of the best ways to fix slopes, stop erosion, and make your property look way more organized and clean. In Adams, WI, retaining walls are especially important because of the sandy soil, rolling terrain, and heavy runoff around lakes like Castle Rock and Petenwell.

At T&L Excavation, we build strong, long-lasting retaining walls that are designed to handle Wisconsin weather and protect your property for decades.

Why Homeowners Need Retaining Walls in Adams County

Retaining walls aren’t just a “nice add-on.” They’re a structural solution that solves real problems.

Erosion Control

Steep banks, hillsides, and shorelines around Adams County can wash out fast. Retaining walls keep the soil in place and protect your yard from long-term damage.

Better Drainage

Walls help guide water away from your home, cabin, or outdoor spaces so water doesn’t pool or cause foundation issues.

More Usable Yard Space

A well-built retaining wall can turn a sloped or uneven yard into a flat, functional space for patios, parking, or landscaping.

Improved Curb Appeal

Stone and block walls add a clean, high-quality look to both lake properties and residential homes.

Types of Retaining Walls We Build

Natural Stone Retaining Walls

Perfect for:

  • Lake homes
  • Rustic Northwoods cabins
  • Shoreline properties
  • Homes that want a natural, boulder-style look

Stone walls are very durable and blend naturally into the landscape.

Block Retaining Walls

We install high-quality engineered blocks designed for:

  • Steep slopes
  • Structural walls
  • Garden beds
  • Large commercial or residential projects

These walls look clean and modern and offer tons of design options.

Boulder Retaining Walls

Massive natural boulders stacked and fitted to create a strong, natural wall. Works great for:

  • Shoreline banks
  • High-impact erosion areas
  • Large hillsides
  • Decorative property accents

Tiered Retaining Walls

A multi-level system used when slopes are too steep for a single wall. Helps with drainage and creates a dramatic look.

Shoreline Retaining Walls

Retaining walls are extremely common around:

  • Castle Rock Lake
  • Lake Petenwell
  • Friendship Lake
  • Wisconsin River properties

We combine retaining walls + riprap + grading for maximum erosion control and DNR-friendly shoreline protection.

Our Retaining Wall Installation Process

A long-lasting wall starts with correct excavation and prep work. That’s where we stand out.

Our Process Includes:

  • Digging a proper base trench
  • Installing compacted gravel base
  • Building the first course perfectly level
  • Adding drainage rock
  • Installing drain tile to prevent pressure buildup
  • Backfilling and compacting each layer

We don’t cut corners — a retaining wall is only as good as the base it sits on.

Materials We Use

  • Limestone block
  • Fieldstone
  • Granite boulders
  • Concrete retaining wall blocks
  • Flagstone accents
  • Natural rock blends
