Our focus
Earth retention, not lawn care
At JJ Retaining Walls, our team focuses on structural earth retention and the hardscapes built around it. Unlike typical landscaping companies, our crews take on the hard parts: excavating failed hillsides, solving stormwater drainage problems, and reclaiming steep yards with concrete modular block designed for Georgia red clay.
We work for homeowners who want their yard back and for builders, developers, and HOAs who need walls built to an engineer's design. We do not provide masonry services; every crew hour goes into walls, drainage, and the ground they hold.

Engineering & permits
Walls over 4 feet, done by the book
In North Georgia, retaining walls over 4 feet of visible height need signed engineering, setback review, and a permit before excavation starts. We manage every step.
- On-site coordination with licensed, independent structural engineers.
- Municipal permit filings, county zoning submittals, and grading variance applications.
- Full site management: base excavation, toe drainage, block installation, backfill, and slope stabilization.
