Slope retention structures are far more than landscaping features. They hold back soil on slopes during rain events and over time. They carve usable flat space from slopes out of otherwise unworkable terrain. They channel water that can undermine infrastructure and landscaping downhill. When a retaining wall fails — which most commonly happens because of poor drainage design — the costs are substantial and the risks are real.
Serving clients throughout Bothell, WA, Wallova Retaining Walls brings drainage expertise and wall-building experience into every project to produce walls that are structurally sound, aesthetically appropriate, and built to perform for decades.
Material Options for Every Application
Wallova designs and builds walls using every appropriate wall material — concrete masonry units, natural stone, boulders, poured concrete, segmental block systems, and pressure-treated timber — selecting the right system based on structural requirements and visual objectives. Homeowners in Bothell, WA, every wall we build built to perform under the real forces at that specific location.
Why Drainage Is as Important as the Wall Itself
Any wall carrying significant load includes a drainage design component — including gravel fill, drainage pipe, and weep outlets — managing the pressure from water accumulating in soil that most commonly destroys retaining walls over time.
This drainage-first approach is a core part of every Wallova project from contractors who build walls without considering what happens to the water behind them.
