Retaining Walls

Retaining Wall Blocks & Designs in Livonia, MI

From preliminary designs to installing every block, as a retaining wall contractor, we provide the hardscaping services you need to enhance your home.

If you're worried about losing grass and soil to the elements, your yard can likely benefit from a retaining wall. Designed to keep soil in place, people often build a retaining wall if they live on a slope or as a way to create a raised garden bed. They can also act as a flowering physical barrier, providing privacy and noise reduction with the help of stone, soil, and plants, which can be especially handy if you live near a road. 

Retaining walls can be created in many different shapes, sizes, colors, styles, and materials to perfectly match the rest of your home or yard. So, whether you're sectioning off your front yard to create a peaceful, green seating area or constructing a vegetable garden retaining wall, this hardscape feature can add elegance and dimension to your outdoor space.

Why Hire a Retaining Wall Contractor for Your Yard?


Picture a sloped backyard transformed into a level lawn or a terraced garden with lush greenery. A retaining wall not only adds structure and support, but it also turns uneven terrain into a more functional and beautiful space.

Retaining walls do more than just prevent soil erosion. They provide structural support, improve drainage, and help level sloped areas to create more functional outdoor living spaces. Whether you want to carve out a flat surface for a patio or protect your landscaping from erosion during Michigan's rainy seasons, a retaining wall contractor offers both practical and aesthetic benefits.


Popular Retaining Wall Materials We Install


You can go for sleek concrete blocks for a modern look, rustic timber for natural charm, or timeless stone for a more elegant finish. The material you choose helps tie the whole landscape together.

At M & D Outdoor Design & Build, we offer a wide variety of materials to match your landscape design goals:

  • Concrete Blocks: Durable and versatile for modern aesthetics
  • Natural Stone: Timeless beauty and long-lasting performance
  • Brick: Classic, warm, and ideal for traditional home designs
  • Timber: Rustic charm with cost-effective installation

Our materials can be mixed and matched with surrounding features like patios, walkways, or flower beds.
