Retaining Wall Terrace Album 4 |

Agape Retaining Walls, Inc. designed and installed these Rockwood terraced retaining walls in 2003. This 6” straight face Rockwood block looks great and the landscape contractor they hired to come in after us did a very good job at complimenting our hardscape vision. These homeowners were very pleased with our work and have recommended us to their family and friends several times over the years for their retaining wall needs. |

This homeowner chose Agape Retaining Walls, Inc. as their retaining wall contractor of choice. The other contractors we competed against for this project were mainly landscape contractors—spending 90% of their time landscaping and doing a retaining wall every now and then. So the homeowner felt more comfortable with us, our retaining wall design ideas, and all the retaining wall and paver pictures he saw on our website. We used a 6” Rockwood Retaining Wall system on this project, gold/black blend in color, with a Rockwood natural color straight cap. I cannot wait to see what the homeowner will do in landscaping the terrace and the area around this wall. |

These homeowners in Chesterfield, MO, chose Agape Retaining Walls, Inc. to take care of all their retaining wall design, engineering, and installation needs. This retaining wall had many challenges. For example, the problem of how to take out the existing tie wall holding up the driveway without getting anything in the swimming pool, and to do so without damaging the pool deck in any way. Retaining wall projects like this project need to have a well qualified, very experienced retaining wall contractor: a contractor that comes with a plan in mind for the project, a great retaining wall design, and the experienced retaining wall craftsmen to execute that plan flawlessly. One mistake on a retaining wall project like this could lead to disaster. Imagine, if you would, what it could have looked like if this driveway ended up in the swimming pool. If they would have hired the wrong contractor this could very well have happened-- the driveway could really have ended up in the swimming pool. As you can see, everything turned out great. The terraced retaining wall design allowed the landscape contractor to come in after us and break up the look of this large retaining wall with some great landscaping. |

This was another tough, logistical, poolside retaining wall project that required a well trained, experienced retaining wall contractor to come up with the retaining wall design and installation. If these homeowners would have picked a less qualified contractor whose main focus was something other than large retaining walls, the consequences could have been very bad for them. All contractors are not equal! Do not assume because someone says they do retaining walls, they know what they are doing on a job of this magnitude. Please, for your own sake, do your homework before you hire the contractor-- that is the time to find out who they are, and not after you have signed with them and it is too late. I tell people all the time there are lots of great sales people out there who can sell anything, but I only know a few really good retaining wall contractors. |

These small terraced retaining walls in South Saint Louis County were designed and installed by Agape Retaining Walls, Inc. We took out an old stone wall here and replaced it with this great looking Rockwood Retaining Wall split faced 6” stone. The homeowners like it a lot and have recommended us to others over the years. |

This retaining wall in Jefferson County, MO, was designed and installed by Agape Retaining Walls, Inc. to hold back this hillside for a land developer who was building this subdivision. The combined height of these terraces is 34’. The Rockwood retaining wall block was manufactured here in St. Louis, MO, by Lemay Concrete Block and the engineering was done by CMV Engineering, the same engineer that has engineered all of Agape Retaining Walls, Inc.’s large retaining walls over the years. We used large quantities of geo-grid in this retaining wall along with several thousand tons of rock.

Behind this pool area and under the wood deck, a Rockwood Retaining Wall 8” Classic natural color terraced wall installed by Agape Retaining Walls, Inc. holds back the hill and holds up this nice deck. To do this installation we had to first take out the existing landscape tie wall that held up the deck and held back the hill. We then had to take out the existing landscape ties without damaging the deck. How did we do it you ask? I cannot tell you all our retaining wall installation secrets! I can, however, tell you we did it, it looks great, and the homeowner was very pleased. |

This large residential terraced Rockwood Retaining Wall in Town & Country, MO was designed and installed by Agape Retaining Walls, Inc. These retaining wall pictures capture, very nicely, both the excellence in our retaining wall design and installation. We came highly recommended to this couple by former clients of ours and we did not disappoint. The homeowners did their own landscape design and installation and I think they did a very good job at complimenting our retaining wall craftsmanship. |
