Retaining Walls in Wayzata, MN
Walls that suit a Wayzata property
Wayzata lots tend to slope, often toward Lake Minnetonka or Gleason Lake, and the homes call for materials that look as good as they hold. That usually means natural stone or tumbled block with capstones rather than plain gray block. We design walls that turn steep grades into terraces for patios, gardens, and paths down toward the water.
Lakeshore lots need planning
Properties near the lake can fall under shoreland rules that limit grading and new hard surfaces close to the water. We check what applies to your lot with the city before we design, and we plan erosion control so soil stays out of the lake during and after construction.
Built for the long haul
Every wall gets a compacted base, drain tile, and free-draining backfill. On a steep lot, that drainage is the difference between a wall that stays straight and one that starts leaning after a few spring thaws.
