Protect Your Property, Enhance Your Landscape, and Add Long-Term Value
In a city built on hills, retaining walls aren’t just a design feature—they’re a necessity. At AC Cornerstone Building, we specialize in retaining wall installation in Austin, TX, creating strong, attractive solutions for sloped yards, drainage issues, and landscape design. Whether you’re managing erosion, leveling uneven terrain, or adding definition to your outdoor space, we build retaining walls that last—and look good doing it.
As experienced retaining wall contractors in Austin and Williamson County, we build walls that last — whether you need new construction, repair, or drainage solutions for Central Texas soil.
Central Texas terrain can be challenging. From shifting clay soil to steep backyards and heavy seasonal rains, a properly designed retaining wall can help you protect your property and make better use of your space.
Here’s what a well-built retaining wall can do for you:
✅ Prevent Soil Erosion: Stop washouts and shifting ground from damaging your yard or foundation.
✅ Manage Water Drainage: Direct water safely away from structures and landscaping.
✅ Level Out Sloped Areas: Create usable space for patios, gardens, or play areas.
✅ Add Visual Appeal: Frame your landscape with clean lines, tiered beds, and natural textures.
✅ Increase Property Value: Professional hardscaping improves both function and curb appeal.
Whether it’s a short garden wall or a multi-tiered support system, our team helps you choose the right solution for your land and lifestyle.
Every yard has its own layout, soil conditions, and visual style. That’s why we offer a range of retaining wall options designed to meet different goals, budgets, and aesthetic preferences.
Here are the most common types of walls we build:
A durable, modular option that works well for both structural and decorative applications.
Ideal for rustic or high-end landscapes—adds texture, color, and organic charm.
A sleek, modern choice with strong structural integrity—great for contemporary homes or commercial properties.
A cost-effective, classic solution—great for garden beds and light retaining needs.
Multiple levels to accommodate steep slopes and add design interest.
Include steps, lighting, or drainage channels built into the wall itself for added utility and appeal.
