Retaining Walls

Beautiful as the hilly terrain of Northeast TN and Southwest VA is, often as not, it creates a landscaping problem. Thankfully, it's a problem that is usually quite easy to solve with some form of retaining wall. Retaining walls are very versatile in what they do. Sometimes they don't even have to hold anything back, just be there to look pretty and add some character to a landscape.
