Terraced Retaining Walls - San Diego
Terraced Beauty – A Backyard Transformed with Stunning Retaining Walls and Turf

What once was an unused hillside is now a breathtaking multi-level landscape — designed with purpose, precision, and undeniable beauty.
In this recent project, SBX ECO CONSTRUCTION transformed a steep backyard into a visually striking, functional outdoor space using stunning retaining walls that feel more like architectural art than structure. The retaining walls create layers of usable space, blending strength and beauty in every block.
But it’s the lighting that truly brings this design to life. As the sun sets, the built-in warm LED wall lights illuminate each tier, creating a magical evening glow that highlights the rich textures and earthy tones of the stone. The walls don’t just hold back soil — they command attention.
At the base, lush artificial turf provides a clean, vibrant contrast to the stone, delivering a perfect low-maintenance green space that feels fresh year-round. It’s soft underfoot, pet-friendly, and always photo-ready.
The choice of deep, natural colors for the retaining blocks elevates the design — blending beautifully with the hillside, yet standing out with bold definition. Every step, every corner, every detail was built for both function and elegance.
This backyard is now more than a slope — it’s a statement.
A place to entertain, to admire, and to enjoy — day and night.
