Rustic Wall was founded by Jim Hoffpauer after securing a contract from the local railroad commission to properly remove the existing railroad ties throughout the rail lines in the Lewisville area. Jim, being the creative entrepreneur he was, decided to use these ties to start a retaining wall construction business for local homeowners and land developers.

Rustic Wall tops 50 employees for the first time. We are recognized as a leading regional retaining wall construction and services firm doing major engineered retaining wall construction projects in the area. New contracts are secured with several high profile land development corporations including Castle Hills Development Corporation, Lantana Development Corporation, Wellington, and Bridlewood.

A new owner and management team assumes ownership of the assets, existing customers, and day to day operations of Rustic Wall. Based on a solid business plan and hard work, the new organization grows the operations in North Texas to a level where Rustic Wall is constructing 80-85% of the overall retaining wall business in Denton County, Texas.

Recognizing a need in the local market for high quality outdoor living space design and construction, Rustic Wall changes ownership to further expand the construction services in the outdoor patio and outdoor living marketplace. To reflect the new services offering, Rustic Wall changes its name to Rustic Wall and Patio.

With continued business growth, increased sales, and more demanding construction projects, Greg Dawson hires on as Sr. Project Manager of Operations. Bringing 10 years of recognized new construction experience as a top provider at Lamar Homes and Grand Homes, Greg assumes responsibility to insure quality service delivery in the day to day operations.
