A wall has to do two jobs: hold up and look right. A retaining wall that is not engineered for the slope, drainage and load behind it will lean, crack or fail. A decorative wall that is not tied into the landscape and the house looks like an afterthought. Good masonry starts with the footing and ends with the details.
Baltz & Sons Concrete is a family-owned Memphis concrete and masonry contractor. We build masonry and landscape walls alongside driveways, patios and outdoor living spaces, so walls, steps and flatwork match. One customer had masonry walls with integrated lights added to a new driveway, and the whole project was done by one crew.
“These guys are busy but well worth the wait! The design was excellent and the crews fulfilled our expectations completely. Kevin did a great job with the design of a new cabana and grill station addition to the pool deck. I was surprised later to find that he won first place in Residential Design with his work. These guys are highly recommended!”

“Baltz & Sons was the perfect selection for our driveway project. The owner, Kevin, goes above and beyond for customers. We appreciated how he communicated throughout the job. The creativity he brought to the table was so helpful. My husband and I weren’t entirely sure what the end result should look like and Kevin came up with ideas that were just what we needed, all the while coming up with something that was reasonably priced. Our driveway is just what we wanted!”

“We are more than pleased with the work done by Baltz and Sons Concrete. They redid our driveway and added masonry walls with integrated lights and it all looks beautiful. I can’t recommend them enough. They are wonderful!”

Water is the main enemy of a retaining wall. Soil that stays wet gets heavy and pushes on the wall, so drainage behind the wall is built in from the start. Combined with a solid footing and the right materials for the height, drainage is what lets a wall last for decades.
Like concrete, a wall is only as good as what is under it. Footings are set to the right depth and width, and the base is compacted so the wall sits evenly. Skipping this is how walls lean and shift over time.
Block and stone offer different looks, strengths and costs. We help you choose materials that fit the wall type, the height and the style of your home, so the wall looks like part of the property.
Walls often work best as part of a bigger plan. Steps, columns, caps and integrated lighting can be built in during construction, which looks cleaner and costs less than adding them afterward.
Because our crews build the concrete and the masonry, walls tie into driveways, patios and outdoor living areas cleanly. Colors, textures and levels are planned together.
Some walls, especially tall retaining walls, may need permits or engineering. We help you understand what applies to your property and your city before we build.
