Rammed Earth, built right in the United States.
Architecture should feel like it belongs to its place. We craft, consult, and teach Rammed Earth so homes, commercial spaces, and cultural projects stand strong, efficient, and beautiful for centuries.
Build with Earth, not guesswork
Whether you’re starting a design, pricing a build, or refining details, we meet you where you are. Our services cover every stage of a rammed earth project.
Too many projects stall because no one on the team truly understands Rammed Earth. We change that. The Rammed Earth Co. is the only U.S. firm offering a complete pathway - from soil testing to finished walls, from consulting to prefabricated cladding. Whether you’re an architect designing a signature home, a builder managing tight schedules, or an owner looking for something enduring and beautiful, we guide you through every phase so your Rammed Earth project is built right the first time.
Construction
Rammed Earth Construction That Lasts for Generations
Since 2012, we’ve been shaping soil into architecture that stands the test of time. Our construction team delivers stabilized Rammed Earth walls with precise color control, structural reinforcement, and climate-specific detailing. We build homes, commercial spaces, and cultural landmarks across the United States, pairing traditional craftsmanship with engineering rigor so your walls stay strong, efficient, and breathtaking for decades.
Consulting
Expert Rammed Earth Consulting for Architects, Builders, and Owners
Great results start with good information. Our consulting service helps you plan, budget, and detail with confidence. We evaluate soils, create custom mix designs, advise on moisture protection and seismic strategies, and review your drawings before they go out for bid. Whether you need a quick feasibility check or ongoing collaboration, our goal is to remove uncertainty and keep your Rammed Earth project on track.
Engineering & Detailing
Engineering and Details That Meet Code and Inspire Design
Rammed Earth should be as resilient as it is beautiful. We work with structural engineers to design assemblies that meet U.S. building codes for strength, seismic loads, and thermal performance. From footing design to cap flashings, our tested details make it easy to integrate Rammed Earth into residential, commercial, and institutional buildings - even in wet or freeze-thaw climates.
Furniture & Cladding
Rammed Earth Where Thick Walls Can’t Go
Sometimes you need the look and feel of Rammed Earth without the weight of a full wall. We pioneered furniture-grade and cladding systems that bring the texture of earth into interiors, reception areas, and facades. These lightweight solutions let you add character to lobbies, furniture, and feature walls while keeping structural loads manageable - an innovation no other company offers.
Work That Feels Anchored to the Land
From modern homes to art installations, every Rammed Earth project tells a story of engineering discipline and honest material.

Rammed Earth blends structural science with a timeless look. Here’s why it outperforms other wall systems:
Strength, Comfort, and Beauty in Every Wall
-
Strength
Compressive strength verified by testing and real-world Rammed Earth builds.
-
Thermal Comfort
High thermal mass and smart insulation stabilize indoor temperatures in Rammed Earth structures.
-
Moisture Protection
Details that thrive in wet, humid, or freeze-thaw climates for Rammed Earth walls.
-
Seismic Safety
Structural strategies for Rammed Earth walls that satisfy U.S. building codes.
Ultra High Performance Rammed Earth
Furniture & Cladding Without Limits
Rammed Earth doesn’t have to stop at walls. At The Rammed Earth Co., we developed Ultra High-Performance Rammed Earth (UHPRE) - a breakthrough mix that lets us craft furniture and architectural cladding with compressive strengths exceeding 13,000 PSI (≈ 90 MPa).
This innovation means you can bring the warmth and texture of Earth into places that once seemed impossible. Reception desks, tables, benches, planters, wall panels, and custom casework cladding - each piece carries the same layered beauty of traditional Rammed Earth, but with extreme strength and refined finish.
No other company in the world offers UHPRE. Whether you need prefabricated cladding panels for a façade, a sculptural table for a lobby, or planters that age gracefully outdoors, we design and fabricate solutions that combine craft, durability, and one-of-a-kind character.
Experience
We’ve been building Rammed Earth across the United States since 2012, shaping homes, commercial projects, and cultural spaces that stand the test of time. Every wall reflects a balance of structural precision and the timeless character of Earth.
Workshops Taught Nationwide
We provide hands-on Rammed Earth training and in-depth consulting for architects, builders, and design teams. From introductory workshops to advanced detailing sessions, our programs help professionals master the craft and specify Rammed Earth with confidence.
World-Class Collaborations
Our work is trusted by forward-thinking architects, contractors, and institutions who want projects rooted in sustainability and craftsmanship. From high-performance buildings to site-specific art, we partner with teams who see Rammed Earth as more than a wall - it’s a statement about place and permanence.
How It Works
Building with Rammed Earth shouldn’t be complicated or risky. Our process gives you clarity from the start, so you know exactly how your project will take shape - whether it’s a custom home, a commercial wall, or a piece of Rammed Earth furniture.

Share Your Goals and Discover What’s Possible
We offer consulting services to evaluate soils for compressive strength, color, and texture, to discuss climate conditions, and to assess potential structural requirements. Working closely with structural engineers, we develop solutions that turn your Rammed Earth vision into a buildable plan. You’ll leave this stage with clear guidance, realistic expectations, and a confident path forward.
-
Full-Scale Mockups and Precise Craftsmanship
Once details are approved and you’re ready to move forward, we can create full-scale wall mockups to confirm building science details, construction joints, window placement, and installation methods. When it’s time to build, our team compacts each lift of soil with meticulous care, shaping durable Rammed Earth walls, cladding, or furniture that meet the highest standards.

Live With the Calm and Strength of Earth
When your project is complete, you gain more than a surface - you gain a sense of permanence and quiet. Rammed Earth walls, panels, and furniture age gracefully, offering thermal comfort and timeless appeal for decades with minimal upkeep.
