South Hills slope specialists
Build the flat yard your hill never gave you.

Since 2009 Proudly serving the South Hills.
PA registered and insured
Written estimate in 5 business days
Every dig called in to PA One Call
Build from the ground up
Start with the ground, not the furniture.
A wall is not the answer to every water problem
Read the grade. Move the water. Then build the surface.
Clay soil, freeze-thaw and steep backyards are ordinary here. We build the base and drainage behind the finish work, so your yard stays useful season after season.

Same spot, before and after
The change should be plain.
We mark one corner before digging and take the after photo from the same place on the last day.
“Nobody in the South Hills has a flat yard. Every patio we build starts as a wall and a drain.”Andy Kolbusz, owner

Good questions
Frequently asked questions
How soon will I get an estimate?+
After the free yard walk, Teresa sends a written estimate within five business days. You will see the scope, measurements, and price range before we schedule anything.
Do you handle permits and utility marking?+
Yes. We prepare the permit path when it is needed, and every job is called into PA One Call before digging begins.
What makes a retaining wall last here?+
The wall needs a compacted base, drainage at the bottom, clean stone behind the block, and reinforcement where the wall height calls for it. The visible block is only one part of the job.
Can you solve water problems without building a wall?+
Yes. French drains, downspout tie-ins, yard drains, and dry wells can address a soggy lawn or wet basement when a wall is not the answer.
