Expert Retaining Wall Construction in Attalla, AL

At Dunn Irrigation and Landscapes LLC, we specialize in building retaining walls that combine structural integrity with visual appeal. Whether you need to hold back a hillside, create terraced garden beds, or add a striking architectural element to your property, our team has the experience and skill to deliver results that stand the test of time. We serve homeowners and businesses throughout Attalla, Gadsden, Rainbow City, and the surrounding communities of northeastern Alabama.

Alabama's rolling terrain and clay-heavy soils present unique challenges when it comes to land management. Without proper retaining structures, slopes can erode quickly -- especially during our region's heavy spring and summer rains. A professionally engineered retaining wall provides the support your landscape needs while transforming unusable slopes into functional, beautiful outdoor space. From modest garden walls to large-scale structural installations, we approach every project with the same commitment to quality and precision.

We work with a variety of materials to match your property's style, your budget, and the specific engineering demands of your site. Our retaining wall solutions include:

  • Segmental block retaining walls for clean, modern aesthetics and proven structural performance
  • Natural stone walls using locally sourced fieldstone, limestone, and stacked stone for a timeless, organic look
  • Timber retaining walls for rustic charm and cost-effective grade changes
  • Gravity walls, cantilevered walls, and anchored wall systems engineered for your specific site conditions
  • Integrated drainage systems including French drains, weep holes, and gravel backfill to manage hydrostatic pressure
  • Terraced multi-level wall systems for steep slopes and hillside properties
  • Decorative capstones, lighting integration, and planting pockets for enhanced curb appeal

Every retaining wall we build in the Attalla area begins with a thorough site evaluation. We assess the soil composition, slope grade, water drainage patterns, and load-bearing requirements before recommending a design. This engineering-first approach ensures your wall performs as intended for decades, not just years. We also handle all necessary grading, compaction, and drainage work so your investment is protected from the ground up.
