A retaining wall does real structural work. It holds back tons of soil, stops a slope from sliding, and protects your yard from erosion. Built right, it also looks clean and intentional.
Every retaining wall starts with drainage and a solid footing. We plan where the water goes, set a compacted base, and build in the backfill and drainage the wall needs.
We build segmental block retaining walls, natural stone walls, and boulder walls, sized to the load they carry. From a low garden wall to a tall structural wall, we handle the full build.
A retaining wall solves real grading problems. Common projects we build in New Jersey include:
New Jersey slopes shed a lot of water. Without drainage, pressure builds behind a wall and pushes it out. We build in gravel backfill and drain lines, so your wall stays straight and stable.
Most failed walls ignored the water. Soil swells when it is wet, and that pressure has to go somewhere. We engineer drainage into every wall, so the load never builds up behind it.
As a local retaining wall contractor in New Jersey, we know the soil and the frost line here. We size each wall to the slope, not to a guess.
We also handle retaining wall repair and rebuilds when an older wall starts to lean, bulge, or crack. New build or repair, drainage and footing decide how long it holds.
We visit your property, study the slope and drainage, talk options, and give you a written estimate.
We pick the wall type, size it to the load, and plan drainage before any digging starts.
Our crew digs the footing, compacts the base, then sets each course level with gravel backfill behind.
We finish the drainage, backfill and grade the area, then walk the wall with you before leaving.
We build several wall types, sized to your slope. Here are the most common choices on New Jersey properties:
Most walls fail because water builds up behind them. We engineer drainage into every wall, so pressure never wins.
We do not guess at wall strength. Each wall is sized to the load and the grade it holds.
The same crew handles footing, build, and backfill. Nothing gets handed off, so quality and detail stay consistent throughout.
It depends on the height, length, materials, and how much the wall has to hold. We’ll assess the slope on-site and give you a free, itemized estimate. No guessing.
Most walls take a few days to about a week, depending on size and drainage work. You’ll get a clear timeline with your estimate.
It depends on the height. Taller walls often need a permit and an engineer’s design, especially near a property line. We’ll tell you what your town requires before we start.
Almost always, it’s water. Without drainage, wet soil pushes the wall out until it leans or cracks. We build gravel backfill and drain lines into every wall to stop that.
