Retaining and Sitting Walls, Louisville, KY Our experience with fabricated interlocking concrete blocks has allowed us to become very competitive in the design and construction using our stone working techniques to build a wide range of free-standing retaining walls. Today's concrete technology takes the term "retaining wall" to a new dimension. These strong structures can help shape the land, guide people along a path, protect a garden, or add visual interest to an otherwise flat space.

What’s the best way to double the value of a retaining wall? Have Paver-Masters design and install a seating wall. Seating walls, also called sitting walls or seat walls, are simply short walls designed for comfortable seating. They are often a design feature included in retaining walls adjacent to outdoor living spaces.

Things to remember about seating walls:

  • Height: The average height of a sitting wall is 18, but this can vary with your yard’s specifications.

  • Width: To make a surface that’s both safe and comfortable, the tops of seating walls are generally 12″wide minimum but can vary by customer choice.

  • Materials: Seating walls can be constructed from many material options – block/cap (which is paver stone material), Bluestone, cultured stone, brick, or other natural stone sitting wall choices. If your sitting wall is constructed using paver stone materials, Pave Masters provides a Lifetime Warranty that is even transferable to a new homeowner.

  • Surface: At Pave Masters, we like to avoid capping a sitting wall with rough flagstone or other irregular surfacing that can be uncomfortable. We’ll help you choose something that feels comfortable to sit on.

  • Value: A stone sitting wall is a desirable design feature that may increase the resale value of your home. It’s also valuable for those off-season mild days when your outdoor furniture has been stored away.

  • Patio seating wall: If a retaining wall is necessary as part of your patio construction – due to grade – a seating wall will double the value of the space. It is relatively easy to construct a patio seating wall in conjunction with a retaining wall.

  • Fire pits: A sitting wall is a beautiful feature to add when installing a fire pit especially when the wall wraps around it. Paver-Masters can construct solid or thru sitting walls square or round customers’ choice.
