Why Install a Retaining Wall?

Retaining walls solve common property challenges while adding beauty to your landscape:

​

Erosion Control – Prevent soil erosion on sloped properties, especially after heavy Philadelphia-area storms.

Create Usable Space – Transform sloped yards into level, functional areas for gardens, patios, or lawn space.

Improve Drainage – Properly designed retaining walls help manage water flow and prevent drainage problems.

Enhance Landscaping – Add visual interest and define different areas of your property.

Protect Foundations – Keep soil away from your home's foundation, preventing pressure and water issues.

Increase Property Value – Well-designed retaining walls improve both functionality and curb appeal.

Retaining Wall Repair

Even well-built retaining walls eventually need maintenance or repair. Look for:

  • Leaning or bowing walls

  • Cracked or damaged stones or blocks

  • Mortar deterioration (brick pointing and stone pointing services)

  • Drainage problems causing wall failure

  • Settling or shifting

​

We diagnose the underlying cause and provide lasting repairs that address both symptoms and root problems.

Retaining Wall Materials & Styles

We work with various materials to match your aesthetic preferences and functional needs:

​

Natural Stone – Timeless beauty and durability for traditional or rustic designs.

Cut Stone – Clean lines and consistent appearance for more formal landscapes.

Brick – Classic appeal that complements traditional architecture.

Concrete Block – Durable, cost-effective option with various styles and finishes available.

​

Our experienced team helps you select the right material for your specific project, considering factors like wall height, soil conditions, drainage requirements, and your desired aesthetic.

Proper Retaining Wall Design & Construction

Retaining walls require proper engineering and construction to function correctly and last for decades. Our process includes:

​

Site Assessment – We evaluate soil conditions, drainage, wall height requirements, and other factors.

Proper Foundation – Every retaining wall needs a solid base to prevent settling and failure.

Drainage Solutions – We install drainage systems behind walls to prevent water pressure buildup.

Structural Integrity – Walls are built with appropriate reinforcement and proper construction techniques.

Quality Materials – We use materials suited to your specific application and conditions.

 

Improper retaining wall construction leads to premature failure, often requiring complete rebuilding. We do it right the first time.
