Soil erosion, a sloped backyard, or a hillside that keeps washing out: these are the jobs Harris & Son’s Landscaping was built for. We design and install retaining walls across Indianapolis, Center Grove (46143), Greenwood (46142), and surrounding areas. Built right the first time, not rebuilt in five years.
What We Build
Harris & Son’s installs retaining walls for residential properties across Indianapolis and the south side. Indiana’s freeze-thaw cycles put real stress on walls built without proper drainage and base prep. We build walls that handle it: sloped backyard terracing, hillside erosion control, raised planting and garden beds, driveway edge walls, and grade change solutions, including walls combined with drainage systems when the site calls for it.
How We Build Them
We use segmental retaining wall blocks, natural stone, and landscape timber depending on the project. Every wall starts with a compacted gravel base and drainage behind the wall. Skipping that step is the main reason retaining walls fail within a few years. We don’t skip it. For taller walls, we add geogrid reinforcement between courses for added stability.
No shortcuts. The walls we build don’t lean, bow, or crack because the prep work underneath is done right.
A retaining wall does two things: it holds soil in place and it manages water movement. When either of those fails, you get erosion, foundation pressure, and yard damage that gets worse every rain season. The right wall, built on a proper base with drainage behind it, stops that cycle for good.
We have been building retaining walls for homeowners across central Indiana for years. Every project starts with an honest assessment of the slope, the soil, and the drainage situation before a single block goes in.
