We install retaining walls that provide both structural support and attractive landscaping. Our walls help manage slopes, prevent erosion, and create usable yard space. We build gravity walls, block retaining walls, gabion walls and decorative garden walls following manufacturer specifications for long-term stability.

Water Feature Installation
We design and install custom water features that bring movement and relaxing sound to your outdoor space. From small bubbling rocks to full ponds and waterfalls, we build long-lasting, low-maintenance features that look natural in your landscape.

Gabion Walls
We install strong, durable gabion walls built with rock-filled wire baskets that provide natural-looking structure and erosion control.

Kelly Stoke, Hood River
“We hired Northstar to install a paver patio and walkway. They showed up when they said they would, stayed on schedule, and their attention to detail was impressive. The finished product looks amazing and drains perfectly. We will definitely use them again.”
James Callahan, The Dalles
“Our backyard was unusable before, and now it looks like something out of a magazine. The grading, drainage, and paver work were all done professionally. They were respectful of our property and kept everything neat. We are extremely happy with the results.”
Keith Braxton, Hood River
“Northstar did an outstanding job installing our retaining wall and steps. The wall is solid, straight, and looks beautiful. The price was very fair for the level of quality we received. We will definitely be calling them again for future projects.”
