Natural Stone Retaining Wall and Landscape Installation in Lenoir City
This backyard in Lenoir City, Tennessee, had great potential but needed structure, color, and definition to bring it all together. The homeowners wanted a natural look that blended with the property’s surroundings while providing stability on the sloped grade. Our team at Property Docktors designed and built a custom landscape complete with a handcrafted natural stone retaining wall, new plantings, river rock detailing, and a fresh fescue lawn for a clean, finished appearance.

Client Goals
The homeowners wanted to make better use of their sloped backyard while creating a landscape that looked natural and timeless. The wall needed to serve both structural and aesthetic purposes, blending durability with curb appeal.
Key goals included:
-
- A natural stone retaining wall to hold the grade and create usable space
- Plantings that add color and year-round interest
- River rock beds for drainage and definition
- A soft, healthy lawn to tie the design together
Our Process
We began by shaping and grading the slope to ensure proper drainage and a level foundation for the wall. Our crew hand-selected and stacked natural fieldstone to create a sturdy retaining wall that feels organic to the property’s setting.
Our installation process included:
-
- Excavating and preparing the slope for the new wall structure
- Building a natural fieldstone retaining wall with integrated steps for easy access
- Installing landscape beds with a mix of evergreen and flowering shrubs
- Adding river rock borders along the foundation for drainage control
- Laying fresh fescue sod to establish a vibrant green lawn
The combination of natural textures, stone, mulch, and sod creates a balanced, layered design that complements the home’s exterior while enhancing the outdoor living area.
Project Highlights
-
- Hand-stacked natural fieldstone retaining wall with integrated steps
- River rock borders for function and visual contrast
- Richly mulched planting beds with seasonal color and texture

- A cohesive, natural look that enhances both beauty and functionality
Natural Beauty, Lasting Structure
The finished space now offers the perfect blend of craftsmanship and nature. The stone wall defines the landscape, the plantings soften its edges, and the new lawn ties it all together, creating a backyard that feels inviting, complete, and built to last.
