Retaining Walls, Patios & Steps in Wenatchee, WA
Wenatchee climbs from the Columbia River into the foothills, and plenty of yards here come with a slope. Block retaining walls, terraces and paver steps turn that slope into level, usable space. We build them, along with patios and walkways.
Our crew handles the excavation, the wall and the planting that finishes it.

Hardscaping in Wenatchee: what to know
How tall a wall can be
Under Wenatchee's slope protection standards, a single retaining wall that needs a building permit can have an exposed face up to 7 feet. A wall between 5 feet 1 inch and 7 feet tall needs a horizontal gap of at least 1½ times its height to the next wall.

Terraced walls
On terraced sections, each exposed wall face is limited to 5 feet, terraces must be at least 3 feet wide face to face, and the ground between walls can't be steeper than 1 foot of rise for every 4 feet across, which leaves room to plant for erosion control.

Grading and replanting
Graded or filled slopes are limited to 2:1, and exposed slopes have to be landscaped or replanted before final inspection, reusing the topsoil from any disturbed steep slope.

What our customers say
“Before calling Dircio's I called other competitors in the area and no one seemed to have the time to call me back let alone give me a quote. When I called Dircio's they where at my house within a few days. I hired Dircio's to do a complete yard renovation including grading, retaining wall, UGS, curbing and hydro seed. All of these where done with great attention to detail and my yard looks so much better. They even went above and beyond by extending the retaining wall past what was initially quoted at no extra cost. Thanks to the whole Dircio's crew my family will finally be able to enjoy our yard.”
Miguel R. “Dircio's Landscaping is the GREATEST! This company does what they say, and they never cut corners. My fence, retaining wall, sprinkler system, landscaping, and grass were beyond perfect. I had 4 other landscaping companies, and I never felt comfortable with any of them. I spent $20,000 on another company, and they did a terrible, terrible job. Dircio's Landscaping tore all their work down. Thank God! The owner is fabulous! Easy to talk to, and all his workers did a professional job. They were very polite and courteous at all times. The owner has all the equipment to get the job done right the first time. Lots of equipment. He goes over the job completely from start to finish and wants you to be 110% satisfied. My wife and I are beyond satisfied. I cannot say enough about this company. I'm a very hard person to satisfy, and this company put the frosting on the cake. You won't ever regret hiring this company!”
