Retaining Walls in Bell County
Cut limestone block and natural stone retaining walls for sloped lots, creek-side yards and new builds across Killeen, Belton, Temple and the rest of Bell County. Owner-run by Army veteran Max Lopez.
What We Build
A good retaining wall holds a slope in place for decades. A bad one leans, cracks or washes out after the first heavy rain. Most of the difference is in what you can't see: the base under the first course and the drainage behind the wall.
Max builds walls in cut limestone block and natural stone, from short garden walls to long runs down a creek bank. Every block is cut on site to fit the wall it goes in.

Common Questions
Do you build on steep or creek-side lots?
Yes. The creek-side wall shown on this page went from the first course to a finished, capped wall in six days. Sloped and wooded lots are a big part of the work around Bell County.
What kind of stone do you use?
Most walls are cut limestone block, which gives a clean, straight face. Natural stone is an option when you want a more rustic look. Max can show you both when he walks the site.
How much does a retaining wall cost?
It depends on the height, the length, the stone you choose and how easy the site is to get to. Max walks the site first and gives you a clear estimate before any material is ordered.
Why do retaining walls fail?
Most failures come from water. When rain soaks the soil behind a wall and has nowhere to go, it pushes the wall forward. That is why the base and the drainage behind the wall get as much attention as the stone you can see.
Do you work outside Killeen?
Yes. Built to the Max works across Bell County, including Killeen, Harker Heights, Nolanville, Belton, Temple, Salado, Morgan's Point Resort, Little River-Academy, Troy, Holland, Rogers and Copperas Cove. If you're nearby and not on that list, call anyway.
