A few things make Texas Built truly different from other contractors in the area:
Three Generations of Expertise — Our family has been building stone walls in the DFW area for over 50 years, spanning three generations of master stone masons. That depth of experience means we've seen every soil condition, slope, and design challenge Texas has to throw at a project — and we know exactly how to handle it.
We Handle Everything — From engineering and permitting to working directly with the city on your behalf, we manage the entire process so you don't have to. Most customers have never pulled a permit or dealt with municipal requirements before — we handle all of that so your project moves forward smoothly with as little stress on you as possible.
Better Materials at Better Prices — Because we purchase all of our stone and materials in bulk directly from the quarries, we're able to offer premium quality at price points most competitors simply can't match. You get the best materials without paying a middleman markup.
When you hire Texas Built, you're not hiring a company that started last year with a pickup truck and a social media page. You're hiring a multi-generational team with deep roots in this community and a reputation built one wall at a time over five decades.

Every project is unique, which is why we offer flexible pricing based on the specific type and complexity of your wall. After an initial conversation about your project, we'll provide a transparent, itemized quote with no hidden costs or surprise fees.
Our walls are generally priced by the foot, which gives you a straightforward way to think about your project. One thing worth knowing upfront: as a wall grows in height, the price per foot increases alongside it. This is simply because taller and larger walls require significantly more materials, deeper foundations, additional engineering, and more labor to build safely and correctly. It's not a linear jump — a wall twice as tall isn't twice the price, it's more than that. We always explain this clearly before any work begins so you have a full picture of your investment and there are never any surprises.
The best way to get an accurate number for your specific project is to give us a call or book a free consultation. We'll assess your property, discuss your goals, and put together a detailed quote tailored to exactly what you need.

Like working with someone who's been doing this their whole life…. because we have been. We're not here to oversell you or complicate the process. We're here to listen to what you need, bring our expertise and ideas to the table, and build you something that lasts.
We keep communication clear and consistent throughout every project so you always know where things stand. No chasing us down for updates, no surprises on the bill, no shortcuts on the work.

Absolutely. Our work is pretty evenly split between residential and commercial projects and we're equally comfortable with both.
On the residential side we work with homeowners across Texas on everything from backyard retaining walls and masonry steps to screen walls, decorative breeze block, and concrete flatwork. Whether it's a small slope fix or a large-scale landscape transformation, we treat every home project with the same level of care and craftsmanship.
On the commercial side we work with builders, developers, and contractors on larger scale projects that require a team with the engineering knowledge, permitting experience, and material resources to handle more complex scopes of work. If you're a contractor or builder looking for a reliable masonry partner, we'd love to talk.
Residential or commercial, big or small — the standard of work is always the same.

Yes, Texas Built Retaining Walls is fully licensed and insured. We take the protection of our customers, our crew, and your property seriously on every job we take on — residential or commercial, big or small.

The sky's the limit — seriously. With three generations of stone masons and over 50 years of experience, we've tackled walls of just about every size imaginable. Whether you need a modest 2-foot garden border or a massive engineered retaining structure, we have the expertise, equipment, and resources to get it done right.
That said, taller walls do require additional engineering and permitting to ensure they're built safely and to code — which is something we handle for you from start to finish. So don't let the size of your project hold you back from reaching out. If anything, the bigger the challenge the more we enjoy it.
