Rely on Our Experience When It Comes to Building a Better Retaining Wall

Retaining walls are man-made structures that hold soil behind it. Instead of allowing your soil to slope naturally down your sloping yard, you can create a wall to make two flat levels of soil, one at the top of the wall, and one at the bottom. Retaining walls can be constructed from various materials, such as concrete blocks, concrete slabs, stone, or brick. A good retaining wall adds a unique design to your landscape, provides stability in your sloped landscape, and prevents soil erosion.

The Tex-Scapes landscaping team can provide you with the right retaining wall solution for your Ennis, Texas yard. Engineering and constructing a retaining wall that won't fall down or buckle under pressure is a job for hardscaping professionals. Many factors go into the design of your wall, including soil type and proper drainage. Tex-Scapes has been in business since 2004, and we have the necessary experience and equipment to build a retaining wall that will last for years.

Different Types of Retaining Walls Solve Different Types of Landscaping Problems

No two landscapes are the same, so your retaining wall is going to look and function differently than the wall down the road. Learn a little more about the varieties of retaining walls and how they look and function.

Gravity retaining wall. A gravity wall relies on its own weight to hold soil back. This means the wall itself will be strong and thick, and it usually leans slightly into the soil to support it better. A gravity wall is a versatile choice because it can be tailored to look anyway you like it, and it is good in tight spaces. If built correctly, the wall is very durable and long-lasting.
Cantilevered retaining wall. A cantilevered wall is usually made of solid slabs of concrete. The base of the wall has a heel that sticks into the soil and a toe that sticks out the other way. The concrete slab can be faced with a decorative material for greater appeal.
Piled retaining wall. This is the thinnest type of wall. It reaches deep into the ground to keep it in place and withstand the pressure of the soil. Since this wall is lightweight and thin, it can fit into smaller places and adapt well to corners.
Anchored retaining wall. Any retaining wall can be anchored to give it more resistance against the soil. The anchor is attached to the wall and inserted into the soil behind it.

Retaining walls can be short or tall, wide or narrow, ornately decorated or minimalist in style. You can build a retaining wall to act as a bench. You can build a tall one to give you more privacy in your outdoor living space. Short retaining walls can act as steps, leading up the slope of your yard. If you have an idea of how you would like your retaining wall to look, please let us know. We can customize a retaining wall that will look and function perfectly in your Ennis, TX landscape.

A Proven Process from Beginning to End

Our landscape design process begins with your first phone call. If you are interested in our design services, we'll set up a consultation at your property. We'll go over your landscape area together, talking about your ideas and gathering initial data. You can ask us questions, and we'll ask a few of our own. The initial consultation is for learning about each other and how Tex-Scapes can help you. We hope you'll come to trust us as we begin a new professional relationship.

After the first consultation, we'll come up with a design plan. We always custom-make our landscape designs. Everything is based on your unique property and your needs. We will explain this first design plan to you in detail, and you'll have the opportunity to tell us what you think. We count on your honest input, so that we can create a landscape you'll enjoy.

At Tex-Scapes, we take into account your budget and timeline. Your time and money are valuable. That's why our process includes clear estimates of the costs and the time it will take to complete the project. We will also list the materials that will be used in your landscape. If you ever have any questions, we're right here! We'll take the time to listen and answer your questions.

1. Schedule Your Project Planning Consultation

Each landscaping project begins with a consultation. You can use our online scheduling system to easily book your consultation at your earliest convenience, or you can give us a phone call. Choose a day and time that works best for you. During our busy seasons, we typically book consultations three weeks out. There is a $79 fee for a 60 minute consultation. When it is scheduled, you will receive an email to confirm the day and time. If you scheduled via our online system, you will receive a call from us within 24 hours to discuss your project and budget. We'll make sure that Tex-Scapes is a good fit for your landscaping needs, and if we determine that we are not a good fit, you'll get your consultation cost fully refunded.

2. Project Planning Consultation

We are dedicated to showing up for your consultation appointment on time! During the planning consultation, we will discuss your project and take measurements and pictures. We will decide whether you need a professional landscape design, which is an additional cost. Our landscaping professionals are highly experienced with appropriate certifications and lots of local knowledge. You can trust us to make good recommendations that meet your needs and work well on your property.

3. Project Proposal

Depending on the size and scope of your landscaping project, our team will create your unique project proposal within one week (and often sooner). Larger projects or ones that require a design may take longer, but we will clearly communicate this to you. The proposal will be delivered to you via email. It will be line-itemized, clearly outlining the work we plan on doing for you and what each item costs.

When you are ready to move forward with the project, you can approve it with a digital signature.

4. Work Begins

A deposit may be required at the start of your project, depending on the scope. We typically schedule work 6-8 weeks out. You already met your dedicated point of contact during your consultation, and that same person will be available to you throughout the landscaping process. You will also have a dedicated crew leader managing the work. We will provide daily updates on the progress of your project so you will always know what is going on.

5. Final Walk-Through

When the work is finished, we will meet with you to walk through the project, answering any questions you have. We want to make sure you are completely happy with your new landscape. We will educate you on proper care for your landscape, from irrigation settings to care for individual plants. Plant warranties are applied for 90 days. Long-lasting quality is one of our main goals.

At this time, we also collect your final payment.

If you have any questions regarding our process, please contact us. We are happy to help you get top-quality landscaping that looks and functions well on your property.
