These homeowners in south St. Louis County, Missouri, chose Agape Retaining Walls, Inc. as their retaining wall contractor of choice over landscape contractors to take care of the retaining wall design, engineering, and installation. This large Rockwood Retaining Wall 6” Classic three-way split faced stone holding up the back patio area is structural in nature and also looks great. These Rockwood Retaining Wall steps provide access from the back patio area down to a future pool area. Click on the pictures to enlarge and look at the craftsmanship involved in the installation of these flared steps. The modular block Rockwood Retaining Wall steps are hand crafted. Each step needs to be cut in with a diamond blade saw, laser toned, leveled, and glued with special retaining wall adhesive. Structural retaining walls like this wall holding up the backyard patio area, need to be engineered with a lot of geo-grid and compacted backfill rock. Sonotubes were installed behind the retaining wall and retaining wall steps to provide easy installation for the fence contractor who came in later to install the aluminum fence above the concrete block steps and the gate between the retaining wall block columns.

This set of Rockwood steps and retaining walls in Chesterfield, Missouri, are unique in their design in that the one side of the steps is built into the retaining wall and the other side is left open.  I like the look and for this retaining wall design it was needed, but we have not had the opportunity to do another one like this since.  One thing we love at ARW is that no two jobs are the exact same.

Every job is different and there is no substitution for hands-on experience. We at ARW have designed and installed hundreds of thousands of s.f. of hardscape and every working day we add to those numbers. Unlike a lot of landscape contractors who do many things, we at ARW are installing retaining walls and pavers everyday—which means, we do not install landscape plants and bushes and we will not mow your lawn or clean your gutters. Each and every day we are practicing the art of hardscape installation and design and all the practice could work out perfect for you if you choose us for your project.

This residential hardscape designed and installed by us at Agape Retaining Walls, Inc. is one of my favorite residential hardscape projects. These homeowners in Sunset Hills, Missouri, were smart enough to choose ARW as their hardscape contractor of choice. The reason they told us that they chose us over the landscape contractors who also bid this retaining wall and paver installation was that they really appreciated our hardscape design ideas and the obvious experience and knowledge of retaining walls and pavers we would bring to their project. The homeowners told us that the other landscape companies had no real solutions to their hardscape problems. We used the Versa-Lok Mosaic weathered stone on this project, the Versa-Lok standard weathered block, and Versa-Lok weathered cap for the step installation. Another thing to notice about this Versa-Lok Retaining Wall step design and installation is how we built the landscape planter beds into the steps on the bottom set of steps and how we built the steps into the landscape terraces on the upper steps.

This Rockwood Retaining Wall and Belgard paver hardscape installation in Sunset Hills, Missouri, looks great and is very functional. We at Agape Retaining Walls, Inc. were called in to bid this hardscape project when the homeowners put on a new home addition and found themselves in need of a new backyard patio area. The way the top set of steps are shaped in a half moon and built right up to the door frame of the home sets this step installation apart from many others we have done. When retaining wall steps like these are installed above the framing on the home it is very important to use a material such as DuPont’s Tyvek house wrap behind the steps or block wall to prevent water from doing damage to wood frame of the  home. We installed Tyvek behind these retaining wall steps to guarantee the homeowners never have problems with water against their wood frame. The lower steps are right angled off the Rockwood Colonial Stone retaining walls. Both sets of steps are capped with the Rockwood Retaining Wall straight cap and are anchored down using the Rockwood Retaining Wall adhesive.

These homeowners in Ballwin, Missouri, chose us at Agape Retaining Walls, Inc. as their retaining wall contractor of choice.

These Rockwood Retaining Wall eight inch split face stones look great with these terraced concrete block steps. When designing and installing steps into a split face block wall like this one you need to account for the retaining wall block matching up to the concrete block step. If you try to carry the split face retaining wall block into the step it will create an unattractive triangle shaped hole that most people will not like if they notice it. To avoid this, the steps need to be a straight face block to provide a flatter surface to match up to the new concrete block steps. The straight face block will match very nicely and the end result will be a great looking retaining wall with well designed and hand crafted modular block concrete steps. We at Agape Retaining Walls, Inc. designed and installed this great looking landscape terraced retaining wall with concrete block steps in 2009.

We designed and installed these two sets of steps as a gift to this couple; one for each son who was serving our great nation. Thank you once again for allowing us the privilege to design and install the hardscape at your home.

These homeowners in Fenton, MO, chose Agape Retaining Walls, Inc. as their retaining wall contractor of choice over the landscape contractors who bid this hardscape project. Agape Retaining Walls, Inc. was very blessed to have the privilege to design and install this very large Rockwood eight inch split faced retaining wall with these right angled concrete block steps. Large retaining walls call for a lot of concrete block steps to get to the top. These concrete block steps were crucial to provide access from the back of the home to the bottom side of their yard.

These homeowners in University City, Missouri chose Agape Retaining Walls, Inc. to take care of the retaining wall design, installation, and engineering. We at Agape did the design and installation and we used CMV Engineering to engineer this hardscape masterpiece. The retaining wall block was manufactured here in St. Louis by Lemay Concrete Block, a family owned business that puts out, in my opinion, one of the highest quality concrete retaining wall blocks to be found anywhere. Lemay Concrete Block also is one of the largest manufacturers of Rockwood Retaining Walls in the world. This set of concrete block steps is installed at a right angle, which gives a much defined look and provides a sharp design for those who want things sharp. Many times right angled corners like these are used on concrete block steps where the retaining  walls were all radius, thus providing a contrast to the much more subtle look of the retaining wall. Whatever your preference in the style of steps, in my opinion, nobody has better customer service, hardscape design, or installation than Agape Retaining Walls, Inc.
