Retaining Wall Types

Walls Built to Hold, Not Just Stand

The right retaining wall controls erosion, levels usable yard space, and adds value to your property. The wrong one falls over or bulges within a few years. We build them right: proper footer depth, drainage behind the wall, and the correct block or concrete for your soil load.

The Difference

Why Retaining Walls Fail (and How We Prevent It)

Drainage First

Water pressure is the #1 cause of retaining wall failure. We install gravel backfill and drainage pipe behind every wall we build.

Footer Deep Enough

The footer must go below frost depth in NJ (at least 30 inches). Shallow footers heave and crack. We dig to code every time.

Correct Block for Load

Not all block is the same. We select the right CMU or segmental block for your wall height, soil type, and surcharge load.
