When we talk rock walls, we’re not just stacking stones. We’re sculpting space. Slope in the yard? Let’s turn it into terraces. Useless corner? Let’s make it bloom.
At BANR, we love rockery work because it’s creative. You get your hands dirty but end up with something beautiful. Boulders become borders, and retaining walls become raised beds. We design it to look good and last for decades.
Throw in some grass, native plants, and a couple of well-placed lights, and your yard becomes something special. We’ve helped clients turn dusty lots into magazine-worthy landscapes. Rockery isn’t just about looks — it’s structure, style, and sustainability in one move.
We have done many rock wall projects. One of them in Black Butte last year helped our client solve a soil erosion problem while also providing more planting space.
Some contractors are very good at the creative side of building a rock wall, like Scott is at BANR. He will take his time picking the right rocks and ensure they are on a solid long-lasting foundation. Some contractors are very good at the foundation work and less focused on the creative aspects. That’s ok. But when you want both, call us.
Typical problems include building on a soil foundation with too much plant matter. Over time that will decompose and the foundation of the wall will be more susceptible to soil erosion from water and snow.
A well-built rockery adds not only aesthetic value but also functional benefits — like slope retention, water flow management, and erosion control. Homeowners also find that strategically designed rockeries improve usable space, reduce lawn maintenance, and often increase property value.
The key? Choose a contractor who understands both the creative and structural sides of rockery. At BANR, we combine engineering integrity with a craftsman’s eye—one rock at a time.
