Retaining Walls
Fox Chase Landscaping designs and installs retaining walls for residential and commercial properties throughout the Chicagoland area. We work with Belgard retaining wall products in a variety of styles, textures, and sizes, allowing each wall to be planned around its purpose as well as the overall character of the landscape.
Retaining Walls for Sloped Properties
Changes in elevation can affect how easily a landscape can be used and how different areas of the property connect. A retaining wall can help address these grade changes by supporting soil and creating defined levels within the landscape.Depending on the property, walls may be incorporated alongside patios, walkways, driveways, lawns, gardens, or other outdoor areas. The height, location, and configuration of the wall should respond to existing site conditions and the intended use of the surrounding space.
Functional and Decorative Walls
Not every wall serves the same purpose. Some retaining walls are primarily needed to manage significant changes in grade, while lower walls may be used to create raised planting areas, define landscape beds, frame a patio, or introduce more structure into an outdoor design.Freestanding and coordinating wall products can also be incorporated into seating areas and other hardscape features. This versatility makes wall systems useful for both solving practical landscape challenges and adding architectural detail to an outdoor space.
Choosing a Retaining Wall Style
The appearance of a retaining wall can influence the character of the entire landscape. Belgard offers wall products with different block sizes, profiles, textures, and colors, providing options for traditional, natural-looking, and more contemporary designs.Material selection should consider nearby paving, the architecture of the property, surrounding plantings, and the scale of the wall itself.

Professional Retaining Wall Installation
Successful retaining wall construction starts with understanding the site. Wall height, soil conditions, grade, drainage, base preparation, and the loads placed behind the wall can all affect how it needs to be designed and built.Fox Chase Landscaping brings decades of landscape and hardscape experience to retaining wall projects throughout Chicagoland. Our team can evaluate the property, develop an appropriate layout, and integrate the finished wall with other landscape and hardscape improvements.
