Do you have an old, collapsing brick, wood or block retaining wall that is creating an eyesore on your property? Replace that old wall with a beautiful, new retaining wall — Greenlawn Georgia Hardscaping & Landscaping are the experienced Johns Creek retaining wall contractors you can trust.
Installing a new retaining wall in your yard or business property will both transform the look of your property AND provide the structural integrity you need to solve drainage or other problems on your property.
Storm Drainage for Your Hardscaped Areas in Johns Creek
A frequently overlooked area of outdoor hardscaping and landscaping is a good drainage system. We often recommend French drains, swells, dry creek beds and other infrastructure as needed to manage storm water flow and retention.
Erosion Control Services by Johns Creek Retaining Wall Contractors
Professionals at Greenlawn Georgia Hardscaping and Landscaping have the knowledge and experience to address your erosion and storm water management system needs. In addition to dry creek beds, we frequently incorporate the following drainage control systems into our drainage solutions:
- French drains
- Trench drains
- Yard basins
- Yard inlets
- Dry wells
Professional Drainage and Erosion Control Installation is Essential
As you are aware, drainage issues around your home or business property must be taken seriously; otherwise, the consequences can be costly to repair. Poorly designed or installed erosion and storm water control solutions will not solve ongoing problems.
Another critical factor in solving residential drainage problems is controlling the flow of water from one property to the next. Local codes require that water flow between properties be maintained at pre-construction levels once a new home is built – and for the duration of home ownership.
To prevent this overflow from happening, we install measures to protect your property from experiencing drainage coming from your neighbors’ yard, as well as restrict water from your yard going to your neighbor’s.

- Modular, Segmental, Interlocking Retaining Walls that are used to hold back a sloping face of soil to provide a solid, vertical front.
- Poured Concrete Retaining Walls that offer superior vertical and lateral strength, and waterproofing capabilities.
- Dry Stack or Natural Stone Walls that are primarily decorative, yet can be used to retain smaller rises. Natural stone walls also work well in landscaping design, used especially in raised beds near patios, swimming pool, fire pits, etc.
- Timber, Wooden, Pressure Treated Retaining Walls are not frequently recommended as they have a limited life span – often less than eight years. We encourage our customers to consider more permanent retaining wall materials and designs.
Greenlawn Georgia Hardscaping and Landscaping uses a customized design and planning process for each project. There are a variety of important design factors to determine prior to beginning construction on a retaining wall including the elevation and slope of the ground, soil conditions, the height for the new wall and surrounding drainage conditions. Retaining walls adjacent to a parking lot or other surcharge condition would be designed accordingly to handle the additional weight.
