We love our backyard. It's a paradise and we get so many compliments. Master Touch Pools was a joy to work with. The attention to detail was amazing. The cleanliness, the professionalism, top notch. Junior was amazing as were all of his team. We had an issue come up after the job was done. One of the contractors used to replace our turf nailed into our sprinkler system. I didn't notice until a while later and they had someone at our house within the hour and the system was repaired. They were also kind enough to repair a head that was on the side of the house that wasn't near their job. I couldn't be happier with the level of service given.

Expert Retaining Wall Installation in Knoxville, TN
Retaining wall installation is one of the most practical upgrades a Knoxville homeowner can make. Knoxville sits in the Ridge and Valley region of East Tennessee, where rolling hills and uneven lots are common. The area averages close to 47 inches of rain per year, and the high clay content in local soil holds water instead of draining it. That combination puts real pressure on any slope that lacks proper support. At Masters Touch Outdoor Care, we assess your yard's slope, drainage patterns, and soil conditions before any work begins. We build each wall with a prepared base and proper drainage behind it to manage water pressure. Without that drainage, even a well-built wall will fail over time. A properly installed wall stops soil from washing away, protects your foundation from water creep, and turns steep or unusable hillside into flat, functional space. Whether you need a small garden wall or a structural wall to stabilize a problem slope, we build it to hold up through Knoxville's heavy rains and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. Call Masters Touch Outdoor Care to schedule your on-site assessment.

Retaining Wall Installation FAQ
Common questions about retaining wall installation in Knoxville, TN.
Yes, a slope that drains toward your foundation is a warning sign. A properly built retaining wall redirects water away from your home and stops soil from shifting toward the structure.
A wall that is tilting forward, showing horizontal cracks, or bulging outward is under stress it was not built to handle. Those signs mean the wall is moving and should be evaluated before it fails completely.
Yes, a retaining wall levels off sloped areas so you can use that space for a garden bed, patio, or lawn. Many Knoxville homeowners gain usable outdoor space they did not have before.
Most failures come from poor drainage behind the wall, not the material itself. Knoxville's clay-heavy soil holds water and builds up pressure, which pushes a wall outward if no drainage system is in place.
Yes, we assess slope, soil type, and site access before we start. Steep or tight lots require extra planning, and we account for those conditions during the on-site evaluation.
Erosion that goes unaddressed tends to get worse after each heavy rain. Over time it can undermine your foundation, damage driveways, and wash landscaping onto neighboring properties.
