If your Oakville yard is sloped, eroding, or simply not reaching its full potential, a professionally installed retaining wall can transform both the appearance and functionality of your property. At Sandy Creek Landscaping, we specialize in custom retaining wall construction in Oakville, Missouri, offering homeowners long-lasting, code-compliant solutions that blend seamlessly with their outdoor space. Whether you need structural support, improved drainage, or a beautiful new landscape feature, our team brings experience, engineering precision, and design creativity to every job.
Retaining walls solve these problems by reshaping and supporting the land, improving drainage, and allowing for terraced landscaping that turns wasted slope into functional yard space. Whether your goal is to protect your home, reduce flooding, or simply beautify your yard, we tailor each project to match your needs and property conditions.
We construct a wide variety of retaining wall types for homes throughout Oakville, MO:
Concrete Segmental Block Walls – The most popular solution, offering strength, long life, and a huge selection of color and texture options.
Natural Stone Retaining Walls – A timeless, high-end look that fits beautifully with Oakville’s wooded lots and estate-style properties.
Treated Timber Retaining Walls – A budget-friendly choice for lower-height walls and rustic settings.
Decorative Masonry Veneer Walls – Brick or stone veneer adds formality and curb appeal to gardens, front yards, or pool areas.
We help you choose the right material based on your goals, terrain, and aesthetic preferences.
We follow a proven method to ensure every wall we build is as functional as it is attractive:
On-Site Evaluation and Planning
We assess your slope, soil type, water flow, and property boundaries. We also check for HOA requirements and Oakville-specific permitting rules.
Design and Estimate
Our team creates a custom design and provides a clear, itemized estimate. We incorporate grading adjustments, drainage, and wall height for a complete scope.
Permit Acquisition and Scheduling
We handle the required paperwork with St. Louis County or the City of Oakville if applicable, and schedule your job based on the season and supply chain timing.
Excavation and Wall Construction
Our installers build on a deep compacted base with proper geo-grid, backfill, and drainage pipe systems to prevent wall failure. Every step is measured and leveled with precision.
Cleanup and Quality Check
We finish by grading and restoring the surrounding landscape, and perform a full walkthrough to ensure the wall is exactly what you envisioned.
Yard Leveling – Flatten steep backyards for patios, sheds, or kids' play areas.
Erosion Control – Prevent soil washout around driveways and hilltop homes.
Landscape Definition – Add elegance and dimension to gardens and walkways.
Property Value Boosting – Increase home appeal and usability, especially for resale.
We’ve built hundreds of walls in Oakville neighborhoods like Forder Ridge, Christopher Estates, and along Telegraph Road—so we know the local soil conditions and how to build walls that last.
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in Oakville, MO?
Yes—especially for walls over 4 feet tall or supporting load-bearing structures like driveways. Our team handles all permitting so you don’t have to worry.
How much does a retaining wall cost in Oakville?
Most walls range from $45 to $75 per square foot, depending on the height, length, material, and site complexity. We provide clear estimates upfront.

Properly installed concrete block or natural stone walls can last 50+ years. Timber walls typically last 15–20 years with good drainage and maintenance.

We can sometimes reinforce or rebuild portions of leaning or cracked walls, but many older timber or railroad tie walls need complete replacement for safety.
