Retaining walls in Burien, Normandy Park and the Seattle area
Block walls, tiered walls with steps built in, and boulder rockeries. Retaining walls come up again and again in our Google reviews.
What we do
A good wall turns a slope you can't use into a level yard, a patio or a parking pad. We do the excavation, the base and the build, so the same crew owns the whole wall.

Block walls and terraces
Straight runs, curves and tiers. Most of our walls are segmental block in gray or charcoal, often with a cap row and steps set into the wall so the levels connect.

Rockeries
Boulder rockeries set with the excavator, for driveways and steeper banks. On one job we widened a driveway by building a rockery to hold the earth behind it, then pouring concrete to match the existing drive.

Level ground for a lawn or a patio
Jerry had us clear an old stump and roots, build a low retaining wall across half the yard, bring in two loads of topsoil and lay new sod.

What customers say
“I am writing to express my gratitude for the excellent work Bleitz Landworks did on my retaining wall. I would highly recommend this company for any home improvement projects. Their quote was very competitive compared to other options I evaluated, and the project was completed within my limited time frame. The entire crew was professional and respectful, and I truly appreciate the time they took to ensure all of my requirements were not only met, but exceeded.”
“If you need a retaining wall built of any kind these are the guys to go to! The retaining walls these guys build are nothing short of just flat out impressive. Impeccable quality”
“Jacob and his team cleared my front yard of an old tree stump and old lawn with tree roots throughout the area. He constructed a low retaining wall on half of my yard. They leveled and brought in 2 loads of top soil in preparation of new sod. Jacob does excellent work for a fair price, easy to work with and showed up every day promptly at 8:30am. I will call him again to look at my next project.”
“Always a pleasure working with Bleitz Landworks. They are professional, meticulous and their work is always beautiful.”
