Natural Boulder Retaining Walls in Genesee

Natural Boulder Retaining Walls built for Latah County ground

This area is the heart of the southern Palouse, characterized by incredibly fertile but heavy soils that retain moisture long into the spring in Genesee. Site prep in this part of Latah County requires a deep understanding of sub-surface drainage to keep foundations dry in the rolling prairie landscape where water tends to sit in the draws. We often install extensive French drain systems and curtain drains in Genesee before we even pour a footing, ensuring that the heavy soil doesn't exert excessive hydrostatic pressure on the basement walls.

That local read is the part that matters. Every natural boulder retaining walls job we take on in Genesee starts with the same discipline: read the soil, read the drainage, and read what the freeze-thaw cycle will do to the finished work three winters from now. Family-owned since 2005 and still run by the Gladish family — the same crew that walks your property is the crew that builds it.
