Strengthening a Hillside with a New Retaining Wall in La Crosse, WI

November 22, 2025

A Durable, Attractive Solution for Sloped Landscapes

Wow! Look at this beautiful La Crosse area home where we built an added on to an existing retaining wall and built a new retaining wall. Thanks for calling us, Amy, to be your local retaining wall contractor! When you live in an area like La Crosse, WI, where hillsides and elevation changes are common, a well-built retaining wall can make all the difference in both appearance and stability. For this recent project, the homeowner needed a long-lasting solution to support a sloped area of their property—something strong, dependable, and visually appealing. Our team delivered exactly that with a brand-new retaining wall built to withstand Wisconsin’s seasons.

 

Building a Retaining Wall Designed to Last

The hillside was beginning to erode and needed proper reinforcement to prevent further shifting. We created a new retaining wall using durable materials engineered for strength and longevity. Amy’s new retaining wall makes using her yard space much easier!

Project Materials

  • Tribute Split Face Wall Block – chosen for strength, texture, and a modern stone look
  • Washed rock – added behind the wall to improve drainage and prevent pressure buildup
  • XL trapezoidal caps – installed for a clean, finished top and added stability

These materials work together to create a retaining wall that not only performs well but also enhances the landscape’s overall appearance.

 

Why This Retaining Wall Works So Well

Retaining walls do more than hold back soil—they create usable space, improve drainage, and prevent erosion. For hillside properties in La Crosse, they are an essential part of maintaining a safe, functional yard.

 

Benefits of the New Wall

  • Reinforces the hillside and prevents future washouts
  • Improves drainage for better long-term stability
  • Adds structure and visual appeal to the landscape
  • Creates potential for future landscaping enhancements

The Tribute Split Face Wall Block was the perfect choice for this property, offering both durability and a high-end look that blends seamlessly with the home’s surroundings.
