We build strong, natural-looking walls that control erosion, support slopes, and improve your property's function.
At Burdick Land Solutions, we build boulder retaining walls that do more than hold back soil. They protect your property from erosion, create usable space, improve drainage, and give your landscape a strong, natural look that fits the land. These walls are a smart choice for sloped yards, failing banks, washout areas, driveway edges, and places where you need both structure and long-term durability.
Our process starts with a close look at the grade, soil conditions, water flow, access, and the purpose of the wall. Every site is different. Some projects need a low landscape retaining wall to shape planting beds or terrace a backyard. Others need a heavy-duty boulder wall to stabilize a hillside or support a larger change in elevation. We plan the wall layout, base preparation, boulder size, and drainage needs so the finished wall performs well and looks clean from every angle.
Boulder retaining walls are popular because they are tough, low-maintenance, and naturally attractive. Large stone holds up well against weather, runoff, and ground pressure when installed correctly. We use proper excavation, base work, placement techniques, and backfill methods to help the wall stay stable over time. Drainage is also a key part of the job. Without the right water management, even a strong wall can have problems, so we build with long-term performance in mind.
We can install walls for slope stabilization, erosion control, landscape grading, terracing, property line definition, and support around driveways, paths, and outdoor living areas. If your yard has steep sections, pooling water, or soil movement, a boulder wall can be part of a larger land management solution that makes the space safer and easier to use. We also pay attention to how the wall blends into the rest of the property so it feels natural, not out of place.
As a family-run, owner-operated company, we believe in straightforward pricing and dependable work. We show up, communicate clearly, and build walls the right way. If you are considering a boulder retaining wall for your property, contact Burdick Land Solutions to talk through your goals and schedule your project.
We walk the slope with you, check grade changes, drainage, access, and soil conditions, then recommend the right boulder retaining wall layout for strength and appearance. You get a clear estimate, realistic timeline, and honest guidance on what your property needs.
Before any boulders are set, we prepare the footprint, excavate to proper depth, and build a compacted base that supports long-term wall stability. We also plan drainage behind the wall to help prevent washouts, pressure buildup, and costly future movement.
We place and lock each boulder carefully for a natural look, proper setback, and dependable structural support, then backfill and finish the surrounding area. After cleanup, we walk the project with you to confirm the wall is solid, the site looks clean, and you are ready to enjoy the result.
Common questions homeowners ask about boulder retaining walls, pricing, drainage, timelines, and long-term performance.

“Our driveway was a complete wreck, every time it rained the bottom of the driveway washed out. We live on a creek bottom dirt road and watched everyone around us bring in gravel just to have it wash away to the neighbor's pasture each time it rained. I found Burdick Land Solutions beautiful website and pored over it. Talked it over with the man of the house and called them. Ben was very helpful on the phone, that was on a Tuesday afternoon. That afternoon he texted me to let me know that Jack was coming out for a site visit on Thursday. He messaged me the day prior to the site visit to remind me and of course on the day of the visit Jack showed up, I believe he was even a couple minutes early. He spent a lot of time walking over the property, seeing what the problem areas were, taking measurements, photos and videos and said we'd have a quote within a couple days. Early the next morning Ben called and sent us a quote. We reviewed it and decided we wanted a bit more in the parking area so he instantly redid the quote. This all happened within three days of initially contacting them. On Saturday we were going over the quote and were just a bit confused about the boundaries, I texted and he immediately called and we went over it again. He was so patient and polite. We paid the deposit on August 5th. On the 6th Ben called and said he had us scheduled for the 27th. Just about every single day until the job started he contacted me, just staying in touch. On the 20th Ben said they finished another job and was going to start ours, a week early. Jack showed up Friday morning with equipment and started working. We found him absolutely wonderful to work with. He even protected a couple trees we really liked, one old dogwood tree and a young redwood that were close to the worksite. They finished the job in good time, always with excellent communication. Someone was always telling us what was going on, what was going to happen next. The job was finished yesterday, they dug new trenches to redirect the water, built a huge berm to hopefully keep it redirected. Another smaller berm and trench up the hill from the house to keep the deluge from the house and brought in five trucks of gravel to resurface the driveway and parking areas. He even planted grass seed on the berm and covered it with straw. Excellent communication; excellent work ethic; the most polite contractors I've ever dealt with in my life. You simply can't go wrong having Burdick Land Solutions do a job for you. I uploaded some pictures, before, during and after. Thank you Ben and Jack and Jonathan too. You are all stellar.”
“Great guys, they got the work done done nice and quick and didn't charge me an arm and a leg”
“These Gentlemen Blew It out of the Park. I showed some Interest on their website with requesting a Quote and Some question answering about some Forestry Mulching. Ben took it upon himself to Message me back within Minutes and set up a Phone conversation to clarify what it is Im needing help with and answered any questions I had with valid information and knowledge. Then we set an appointment for site walking. Ben Showed up not on time but a few minutes early. After i realized the profesinality of Him i asked him to go ahead and give me a Quote. So he Drew up a Map on the phone and punched some Numbers in did some calculations and after a Few Moments He sent it to my phone with the mapping and The Quote and everything that goes with it cleanup etc. We Agreed to get it done after talking it over with the Spouse of mine. And asked him how soon he can get to it. And Luckily he had a little bit of time in between jobs to come over and start on it after the Weekend.! Showed up when he said he would did what he said he would and was always friendly and even willing to go out of his way to make it happen! I decided to add on some areas and for a small upcharge he knocked it out of the Park. I can not say enough how much fun I had watching him get this done and how much these guys Impressed me. I am looking forward to have these guys come back out and get what ever else I Need done take care of. I highly recommend contacting this company if you need any land project done.
