This set of concrete block retaining wall steps, capped with bull nose pavers, in Kirkwood, Mo, was installed by Agape Retaining Walls, Inc. We used the Versa-Lok untumbled standard block. The set of walls coming into the steps are a Versa-Lok Mosaic untumbled block and have Kerr Lighting built into the wall to help light the steps. The Kerr lighting is reasonable in price for outdoor lighting and is installed relatively easily. All the hardscape installation on this project including the Kerr lighting was done by Agape Retaining Walls, Inc. with the landscaping and asphalt done by other contractors. |

This Agape Retaining Walls, Inc. design and installation water application Rockwood Retaining Wall in Valley Park, MO, was crowned with this great looking set of modular block concrete steps going down to the lake. The homeowners wanted us to install these great looking Rockwood Retaining Wall steps so that they could have easy access in and out of the lake from their paddle boat. These lakeside retaining wall steps were constructed using a Rockwood 8” 3-way split face goldenrod block along with a Rockwood goldenrod straight 4” cap. This water application wall was engineered by Carl Vogt with CMV Engineering, who is in my opinion the best retaining wall engineer in St. Louis, MO. CMV has engineered every major retaining wall for Agape Retaining Walls, Inc. since we were incorporated in February of 2002. The tallest wall I have ever built with CMV Engineering was 35’ tall and it still looks great holding up the parking lot at Gravois Bluffs all these years later. These Rockwood steps look great and stand as a testimony of the skill and craftsmanship of the men at Agape Retaining Walls, Inc.

These homeowners in south St. Louis County, Missouri, chose Agape Retaining Walls, Inc. as their retaining wall contractor of choice over landscape contractors to take care of the retaining wall design, engineering, and installation. This large Rockwood Retaining Wall 6” Classic three-way split faced stone holding up the back patio area is structural in nature and also looks great. These Rockwood Retaining Wall steps provide access from the back patio area down to a future pool area. Click on the pictures to enlarge and look at the craftsmanship involved in the installation of these flared steps. The modular block Rockwood Retaining Wall steps are hand crafted. Each step needs to be cut in with a diamond blade saw, laser toned, leveled, and glued with special retaining wall adhesive. Structural retaining walls like this wall holding up the backyard patio area, need to be engineered with a lot of geo-grid and compacted backfill rock. Sonotubes were installed behind the retaining wall and retaining wall steps to provide easy installation for the fence contractor who came in later to install the aluminum fence above the concrete block steps and the gate between the retaining wall block columns. |

After looking at all our retaining wall and patio paver pictures online, this homeowner in Town & Country, Missouri, chose us at Agape Retaining Walls, Inc. as her hardscape contractor of choice to take care of the retaining wall and patio paver design, engineering, and installation. These concrete retaining wall steps are somewhat unique in their design. They are squared off with one side open and landscape stepping stones on top of decorative rock for the landing pads. This design helped keep the cost of these retaining wall steps down and at the same time gave the homeowner a great looking set of steps to provide access from the driveway to the patio. At Agape Retaining Walls we could write a book on the how-to of hardscape design and installation. I really believe that we do the best hardscape design with the highest quality hardscape installation in St. Louis. |

This set of concrete retaining wall steps in Chesterfield, Missouri, is one of my all time favorites. Our hardscape design incorporated these great looking Rockwood Retaining Wall blocks manufactured here in St. Louis, Missouri, by Lemay Concrete Block and these Romanstone Holland pavers manufactured here in St. Louis by Kirchner Block and Brick. I very much like the way we designed these steps and landing areas going through the iron gate from the driveway to the swimming pool. These retaining wall steps pictures really do speak a thousand words about our high quality hardscape work.

This Rockwood Retaining Wall Colonial stone masterpiece in Sunset Hills, Missouri, was designed and installed by the hardscape craftsmen at Agape Retaining Walls, Inc. The Belgard Dublin Collection pavers are a great improvement over the old decorative concrete patio they replaced. The steps look great and though these Rockwood block concrete steps are cornered at a right angle off the retaining walls and therefore more simple to install than many of our modular block concrete step designs, they still take extra time to craft them just right. The homeowners were very happy about their home improvements and I am blessed to have had the privilege to design and install yet one more hardscape masterpiece.
