Hardscaping, Retaining Walls & Brick Work in Acworth, GA
Georgia clay moves and Georgia rain runs. A wall or a border built without respecting that is a wall that leans in two years. Burnt Hickory builds retaining walls, tree rings and brick work that account for how water and clay behave here, so the work holds.
Retaining walls
Whether it is holding a slope, carving out a usable bed, or stopping erosion that is washing your yard toward the street, we build retaining walls set on proper base and drainage so they stand up to the wet-dry swing of Georgia clay.
Tree rings and borders
Clean stone or brick rings around trees and defined borders along beds and walks give a property a finished, intentional look — and keep mulch, straw and soil where they belong instead of washing out in the next storm.
Brick and stone work
Steps, edging, small walls and repairs — the kind of brick and stone work that ties a landscape together. We build it to last through the freeze-thaw and the downpours, not just to look good on the day we finish.
01Do you build retaining walls?
Yes — for holding slopes, carving out beds, and stopping erosion. We set them on proper base and drainage so they hold up to Georgia clay.
02Why do so many retaining walls fail here?
Georgia clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry, and walls built without proper base and drainage lean or blow out. We build for that from the ground up.
03Can you fix an existing wall that is leaning?
Often, yes. We will look at it and tell you honestly whether it is a repair or a rebuild — and quote a firm price either way.
04Do you do paver patios and walkways?
We handle brick and stone edging, steps, borders and small walls. For large patio builds we will point you to the right scope.
05Is hardscape available with recurring maintenance?
Yes. Many customers add a wall or tree rings while we already keep the property, so it is one crew and one point of contact.
