Retaining Walls in Sterling Heights: What to Plan For

Older landscapes often have failing timber or block edging that a solid concrete wall can replace for good.

Grade changes on lots near the river are common, and a properly drained concrete wall can hold them in place.

Sterling Heights was farmland, once known for rhubarb, before suburban homes were built for workers in Detroit’s auto industry. Sterling Township incorporated as a city in 1968, and by 2020 it had 134,346 residents, making it the fourth-most populous city in Michigan.
