by Valley Redwood | Retaining Walls
If you’re dreaming of a beautiful, functional outdoor space — whether it’s a terraced garden, a sloping backyard that needs structure, or a commercial site that requires reliable grade support — a well-designed retaining wall system can be a game changer. At Valley Redwood, we’re proud to supply top-quality retaining wall products that help turn those landscaping visions into reality. valleyredwood.com
Why Retaining Walls Matter
Retaining walls aren’t just decorative — they play a critical role in managing soil, water, and slope stability. Simply put, a retaining wall is a structure engineered to hold back soil and prevent erosion or movement where grades change. This is essential in sloped yards or outdoor spaces where soil can naturally shift due to gravity, weather, and water runoff. Wikipedia
Well-built retaining walls:
- Prevent erosion and soil displacement.
- Help manage water runoff and drainage on uneven terrain.
- Create usable flat areas in sloped landscapes.
- Enhance aesthetic appeal and boost property value.
Whether you’re tackling a garden terracing project or planning a structural wall for an outdoor living space, selecting the right materials and system matters.
What Makes Valley Redwood’s Retaining Wall Systems Stand Out
At Valley Redwood in Sacramento, you’ll find industry‑trusted retaining wall products from leading manufacturers like Basalite Block and Belgard — brands known for durability, design options, and versatility.
Our retaining wall offerings include:
- Segmental retaining wall blocks — modular units that interlock for strength and stability. basalite.com
- Variety of styles and textures — from classic stone‑like finishes to contemporary shapes that complement your outdoor aesthetic. Belgard
- Solutions for all project sizes — whether it’s a small backyard garden wall or a large commercial retaining project.
These systems give you flexibility — they can be used to build traditional retaining walls, terraced seating areas, raised garden beds, or even integrated elements like steps and planters when design calls for it.
Design Meets Functionality
Retaining walls from Basalite and Belgard are more than functional structures — they’re design features. With a range of colors, shapes, and finishes, you can match or elevate your landscape’s visual character. From rustic, natural stone looks to clean, modern profiles, these systems let you build walls that are both structurally sound and visually appealing.

As the Sacramento rainy season approaches, now is the perfect time to give your redwood deck the attention it deserves. While redwood is naturally resistant to decay and insects, proper seasonal maintenance is key to preserving its beauty and structural integrity—especially when wet weather rolls in.
Why Seasonal Deck Prep Matters
Rain, standing water, and fluctuating temperatures can take a toll on any wood deck, even durable redwood. Without proper preparation, moisture can seep into the wood fibers, leading to issues like:
-
Warping or cracking from moisture absorption and drying cycles
-
Mildew and mold growth, especially in shaded or poorly ventilated areas
-
Graying or fading due to UV exposure and rain runoff washing away natural oils
-
Surface erosion over time, particularly on high-traffic areas
By taking a few preventative steps before the first storm hits, you can extend the life of your deck and keep it looking great all year long.
Steps to Prep Your Deck
1. Clean Thoroughly
Start by sweeping away debris, leaves, and dirt. Use a deck cleaner or a mild detergent solution to remove stains, grime, and mildew. For tough spots, a pressure washer on a low setting can help—but avoid overdoing it, as too much pressure can damage the wood.
2. Inspect for Damage
Look for any signs of damage like loose boards, popped nails, or rotting areas. Replace or repair as needed to avoid safety hazards and prevent further deterioration.
3. Sand (If Needed)
If your deck feels rough or has splintered areas, a light sanding can help smooth the surface before sealing. This step also improves stain or sealer absorption.
4. Seal or Stain the Wood
This is the most important step before the rainy season. Applying a high-quality stain or sealer protects redwood from water penetration, UV damage, and mildew. Transparent, semi-transparent, or solid stains are all good options depending on the look you want and the level of protection needed.

Trust Redwood, But Protect It
Redwood is naturally durable and resistant to the elements—but even the best wood benefits from a good defense. Regular maintenance, especially before winter, will keep your deck looking beautiful and performing well for years to come.
If you’re unsure what type of stain or sealer is best for your project, the team at Valley Redwood is happy to help. Stop by our Sacramento yard or give us a call at 916-334-9500 for expert advice and high-quality materials.

When it comes to durable, eye-catching, and low-maintenance landscaping materials, lava rock is a true standout. Its bold texture and earthy colors make it a favorite among homeowners and professional landscapers alike. At Valley Redwood, we often recommend lava rock for a variety of outdoor projects because of its versatility and lasting beauty. Let’s explore some of the most popular and creative uses for lava rock in landscaping.
1. Decorative Ground Cover One of the most common uses for lava rock is as a decorative ground cover. Instead of traditional bark mulch, lava rock offers a permanent solution that won’t fade or decompose over time. It creates a clean, polished look around flower beds, trees, and shrubs, helping to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture.
2. Fire Pit Surrounds Because lava rock is naturally formed from volcanic activity, it can withstand high temperatures without cracking or breaking down. This makes it an ideal material for lining and surrounding outdoor fire pits, adding both function and a striking visual element to your backyard gatherings.
3. Pathways and Walkways Lava rock can be used to create durable and visually interesting pathways through gardens or around your home. Its porous nature also promotes excellent drainage, making it a practical choice for areas that receive a lot of rain.
4. Erosion Control If you’re dealing with a sloped yard or hillside, lava rock can help prevent soil erosion. When properly installed, it acts as a barrier that stabilizes soil, especially when combined with drought-tolerant plants and groundcovers.
5. Xeriscaping Projects For homeowners looking to conserve water, lava rock is perfect for xeriscaping. It complements succulents, cacti, and other drought-tolerant plants beautifully, creating a natural desert-like landscape that’s both sustainable and stylish.
6. Water Features Lava rock’s lightweight and porous properties make it an excellent material for fountains, ponds, and other water features. It can be used to line pond bottoms or create stunning rock waterfalls, adding a natural touch while promoting healthy water circulation.
7. Accent Borders and Edging Use lava rock to define garden borders, edge driveways, or highlight specific features of your yard. Its bold color contrasts nicely with greenery and other landscape materials, providing a crisp, eye-catching outline.
Ready to Transform Your Landscape? Valley Redwood carries high-quality lava rock and a wide variety of bulk landscape materials perfect for your next project. Whether you’re updating your garden beds or designing a custom fire pit, our knowledgeable staff is here to help you choose the right materials for your needs.
