Retaining Wall Contractors in Perry, UT

Retaining Wall Services in Perry

Perry sits on one of the steepest sections of bench terrain in Box Elder County. The town climbs from Highway 89 up to the mountain foothills, with residential properties perched on grades that can exceed 30 degrees. This is serious retaining wall territory.

The area’s history as fruit orchard land means many properties have legacy terracing that was adequate for agriculture but insufficient for the loads of residential construction.

Steep Bench Terrain

Perry’s bench is noticeably steeper than comparable areas in Davis or Weber County. Properties above the highway often have dramatic front-to-back elevation drops that require substantial retaining walls to create any usable flat ground.

Boulder walls are the most common solution on Perry’s steep bench because they provide the mass needed to hold back heavy soil loads on steep grades. We size boulders and wall depth based on the actual soil load calculations for each site — not generic rules of thumb.

Orchard Heritage

Much of Perry’s residential land was previously orchard terracing — fruit trees planted on benches cut into the hillside. As these properties convert to residential use, the agricultural terraces need structural upgrades. Old earthen terraces that worked for trees can’t support the loads from homes, driveways, and landscaping.

We rebuild these terraces with engineered retaining walls while preserving the terraced character of the landscape. The result is structurally sound levels that maintain Perry’s distinctive hillside appearance.

Building on Perry’s Bench

If you’re building or renovating on Perry’s steep terrain, retaining walls should be planned early in the project — not added as an afterthought. We work with homeowners, builders, and architects to integrate retaining structures into the overall site plan. Call for a free consultation.
