Retaining Walls in the Black Hills

Retaining walls aren’t just about erosion control — they’re about making space where there wasn’t space before. Whether your yard drops off, slopes steeply, or collects water in all the wrong places, we’ll help you carve out something solid, functional, and good-looking. Stonecraft offers full design-build retaining wall solutions, so you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Shape Your Space

We design and build retaining walls that

  • Reshape steep backyards for livable outdoor areas
  • Prevent erosion and redirect drainage properly
  • Use natural stone or block to match your home
  • Work as integrated features with patios,steps, or plantings

Design Meets Drainage

Mark isn’t just a mason. He’s a designer who understands the land. With decades of experience in homebuilding and landscape construction, he creates retaining wall systems that work with your space, not against it. He brings a design-build approach to every project, blending structural know-how, slope and soil awareness, and an eye for how the backyard should function. It’s not about just holding up dirt, it’s about getting your yard back.

Serving Backyards Across the Black Hills

Stonecraft serves homeowners in Spearfish, Rapid City, Sturgis, and beyond. If your yard has been frustrating, forgotten, or half-finished, we can help. We also rebuild walls that didn’t hold up and fix drainage problems left by rushed installs.

FAQ

Q: Can you help with backyard layout planning?

A: Yes , and retaining walls are often part of a full outdoor setup. We’ll design walls that work with future patios, stairs, and other features.

Q: Do I need a wall even if the slope isn’t that steep?

A: Sometimes. Even small grade changes can cause erosion, drainage issues, or awkward space. We’ll assess what makes sense for your yard.
