Retaining Walls
Stone gravity, modular block, big block
Need a Retaining Wall?
We’ve got you covered.
Since 1968, our employees and families have built thousands of independently engineered retaining walls. Looking for something specific? Modular Block? Stone Gravity? Certain stone type or pattern? No matter what it is, we can build it for you. We are experts at designing and building retaining walls.
Stone Gravity Retaining Walls
These walls are built with massive stones that use the laws of gravity to set in place. This wall resists the forces of soil through the weight and set-back of the rock.
- Less excavation behind the wall compared to modular block systems
- A very easy system to adapt to any site or project
- Fast installation and small footprint
- Ability to construct free standing pond walls, screen walls, parapet walls
Modular Block Retaining Walls
These dry-stacked walls have a set of interlocking lips that join the blocks together. These systems are designed to automatically establish the angle of the wall off perpendicular, which helps the wall resist the push of soil behind it.
- Modular block walls are often designed to work with mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) systems
- Modular blocks come in many different sizes, textures, colors or patterns
- Modular walls can be built to exceed more than 60 feet in height
Big Block Retaining Walls
Big block retaining walls can be made as either a modular wall or a stone gravity wall, depending on the needs of your project.
- Looks like very large natural stones, some might say big blocks
- A big block wall is a superior option for submerged water application
- Easy Installation

Professionally Engineered.
ERW believes in having every project engineered by one of our trusted structural engineer consultants. This still allows ERW to collaborate with the design teams and provide value engineering solutions for our customers. Many times, these solutions can save the owner money, speed up the construction schedule or both.
