Building A Retaining Wall
Retaining walls are more than just a barrier—it shapes your landscape, prevents erosion, and creates defined outdoor spaces. Whether you’re looking to level sloped areas, protect against soil movement, or add dimension to your yard, A&S Enterprises builds custom hardscapes & retaining walls that balance structure and style.
Using premium materials like Techo-Bloc and Belgard wall systems, we craft durable, visually appealing walls that complement patios, gardens, and outdoor living areas.

Replacing a Damaged Retaining Wall: Causes & Solutions
A failing retaining wall can be more than just an eyesore—it can lead to erosion, drainage issues, and safety hazards. If your wall is leaning, sagging, or crumbling, improper installation is often to blame.
- Poor Excavation & Grading – A weak foundation or uneven base causes shifting over time.
- Lack of Proper Drainage – Without a drain system, water builds up behind the wall, creating pressure that leads to movement or collapse.
- Incorrect Backfill Material – Using soil instead of gravel or crushed stone can trap moisture and weaken the structure.
- No Reinforcement – Taller walls need geogrid reinforcement to prevent bowing.
Why Does Grass Grow Through Retaining Wall Blocks?
- Improperly compacted joints allow weeds and grass to sprout between blocks.
- Lack of polymeric sand in joints lets seeds settle and grow.
- Excess moisture from poor drainage encourages plant growth.
