Retaining walls aren’t just for decoration. They’re for keeping your yard where it belongs—on solid ground. Whether you’re dealing with a slope that keeps washing out, a bed that’s spilling into your lawn, or a spot that’s just begging for some structure, a retaining wall does the job.
We build walls that last. Not the kind that lean after a year or start cracking every time the temperature changes. We’re talking proper base prep, drainage built in, and blocks or stone that are meant to hold the line—literally.
Our team handles everything from simple garden borders to large structural walls. We know the difference between a decorative wall and one that’s holding back half a hill. We also know how to keep it looking good while doing its job.
Retaining walls aren’t one-size-fits-all. Some yards need big, stacked systems with proper permits. Others just need a clean 2-foot wall to separate levels or fix a bad grade. We’ll assess your space, give you options, and build the right wall for the situation. No fluff, no upsell—just a solid solution.
And because we handle the full install, you don’t have to line up multiple crews or worry about drainage turning into a backyard disaster six months later. We plan for runoff, frost, settling—all the things that sneak up on DIY jobs and wreck weekends.
We take a look at your slope, soil, water flow, and what the wall actually needs to hold—then plan accordingly.
We excavate, grade, and install a proper base with compacted stone—no shortcuts, no guesswork.
We install block or natural stone layer by layer, with proper drainage and reinforcement behind the scenes.
We fill, tamp, cap, and clean up. When we leave, the wall’s not just built—it’s ready to work.
We have been using RNS for several years for weekly lawn maintenance, snow removal, fall and spring clean-up, mulch and bed maintenance, and other yard projects. They do a great job, take care and pride in their work, and are reasonably-priced and reliable. We definitely recommend Ray and RNS.

We have been through our fair share of lawn services in the past and RNS Landscaping is BY FAR the most professional and attentive company we have used. We use RNS for landscaping, fall/spring clean up, as well as their snow plow services. They always show up promptly, and everything is very clean. Would highly recommend Ray and his team!

RNS handles our lawn, spring and fall cleanups, and our snow plows in Bloomfield Hills. They are prompt, professional, and do a great job. They were referred to me by a friend who is equally satisfied.
