At Chapin Landscapes, we design and construct retaining walls that are both functional and beautifully built to stand the test of time in Northeast Ohio’s challenging terrain and climate. Whether you’re looking to create usable space on a sloped property, prevent erosion, or enhance your outdoor environment with elevation changes, we approach every wall with engineering-level attention to detail.
We specialize in segmental retaining wall systems using high-performance concrete wall blocks from leading manufacturers. These systems offer versatility in design and proven structural integrity when installed properly. The block itself is only part of the equation, what truly determines the success of a retaining wall is what’s behind it.
Studies estimate that up to 90% of retaining wall failures are due to poor drainage and lack of soil reinforcement, not the visible wall structure itself. That’s why our team prioritizes proper engineering and installation techniques, including:
When walls are installed correctly from the beginning, they provide decades of performance with minimal maintenance. Unfortunately, most walls that fail must be fully removed and rebuilt — repair is rarely possible. This makes proper construction from day one not just important, but essential.
“We have a 163 year old bank barn and needed a new retaining wall built. We interviewed many so called professionals that could do the job after talking to Dan Chapin we knew he was the best man for the job.he showed up on time was very professional kept us informed of the progress every day it looks great and works perfect . Its is hard to find anyone these days that is hard working and a true professional. Need something done the rite way, there is only one choice Chapin Landscape”
