About us

The wall crew that works around your slope and your life.

Music City Retaining Walls builds, repairs and drains walls for homes and businesses in Nashville and across Middle Tennessee, from a short garden wall to an engineered hillside. We are the retaining wall division of Music City Builder Group.

What we believe

A wall should do its job quietly for many years. That means reading the slope, the soil and the water first, building a firm base, and giving water a way out. We write the plan in plain words, show you options before anything is dug and tell you honestly when something will not work or when a simpler path will do.

We start with your site, not a template. A homeowner with a sliding bank, a landscaper with a terrace plan, a manager with an aging wall and a developer with a graded lot need different answers, and our advice is about what suits your slope, your goals and your budget, including repairing what you have when that is the right answer.

What we do

  • Wall types: segmental block, poured concrete, masonry, natural stone, boulders, timber, gabions, brick, precast, geogrid-reinforced, gravity, cantilever and tiered walls
  • Residential: backyard, front yard, driveway, hillside, garden, seat, patio, pool, fire pit, curved and walkout walls, steps and stairs
  • Repair and drainage: leaning and cracked walls, resets, replacements, anchors, piers, French drains, swales, grading, backfill and erosion control
  • Commercial: engineered walls, parking lots, HOA and multifamily, developments, big block, MSE, soldier pile, shoring and loading docks
  • Planning and care: design, soil review, engineering coordination, permits, inspections, maintenance, storm response and Free Estimates

How we work

Every project starts with a conversation and a careful look. We walk the site, measure, probe the soil, trace the water and talk through goals and budget. You receive a written scope that lists the materials, the base and drainage, the reinforcement, the engineering and permit needs, the cleanup and the schedule, so you can approve it or compare it with any other proposal. We keep a record of materials and inspections. At the end we clean up, restore the site and walk the wall with you. One contact schedules your project and stays reachable afterward. We are independent and work with the engineers, builders, landscapers and suppliers you choose.
