Boulder wall or block wall? That is the question...
Both hold back your slope — but they're not the same build.
Boulders are natural stone: they blend right into your yard, last for decades, and drain on their own through the gaps. Block gives you clean, straight lines, fits tight spaces, and is usually easier on the budget — but it lives and dies by the drainage behind it.
The right call comes down to your slope, your space, and the look you're after. We build both here in Southeast Michigan, and we'll tell you straight which one fits your yard.
