Retaining Walls

​Strength, Stability, and Curb Appeal for Your Landscape

When it comes to holding back the earth, there is no room for error. At D. Benson Trucking and Excavating, we build retaining walls that are designed to last a lifetime. Whether you need a massive boulder wall for erosion control or a decorative block wall to level out a backyard, we combine heavy-duty excavation with precision engineering to ensure your wall stands straight and drains properly.

Our Specialized Wall Services

Structural Block Retaining Walls

We install heavy-duty, interlocking concrete block systems designed for high-pressure slopes. These walls are ideal for creating level building pads, expanding parking areas, or managing steep residential grades.

• Segmental Block Systems: Durable, engineered walls for height and weight.

• Tiers & Terracing: Breaking up steep hills into functional, beautiful levels.

• Reinforced Soil Slopes: Using geogrid technology for extra-tall or high-load walls.

Erosion Control & Slope Management

Stop losing your property to runoff. We analyze the "pitch" of your land to install walls that catch and redirect water, preventing soil loss and protecting your home’s foundation.

• Boulder & Natural Stone Walls: Rugged, heavy-duty solutions for rural and shoreline properties.

• Rip-Rap Slopes: Using large rock to stabilize banks and ditches.

• Drainage Tile Integration: Ensuring water never builds up behind your wall (the #1 cause of wall failure).

Why Benson Walls Outperform the Rest

• Hydraulic Pressure Management: We don't just stack blocks. We install professional-grade drainage systems (weeping tiles and clean stone backfill) so that water pressure never pushes your wall over.

• Heavy Equipment Advantage: Our fleet allows us to move massive stones and large-format blocks that smaller landscaping crews simply can't handle.

• Local Compliance: We understand MN and WI codes regarding wall height and permitting, ensuring your project is legal and safe.
