Retaining walls
Retaining walls require structural engineering and proper water planning.
We construct durable retaining walls using concrete blocks, fieldstone, boulders, or timber, planning deep compacted footings and extensive drainage backfill.
Drainage & erosion control
Install proper drainage pipes, filter fabrics, and clean backfill gravel behind the wall to prevent water pressure failures.
- Perforated footing drains
- Geotextile fabrics
- Crushed gravel backfill
- Weep hole installations
Control your property's grade.
Identify sloped areas, soil erosion points, or request replacement for a bulging, failing timber or stone wall.

Direct answers
Questions homeowners ask before moving forward
Clear answers help you decide whether the next step is a fit. Project-specific facts are confirmed during review and documented before work begins.
Why is my existing retaining wall leaning or cracked?
This is usually caused by poor drainage behind the wall, hydrostatic pressure from waterlogged soil, insufficient footing depth, or a lack of proper reinforcement.
Which retaining wall material is best?
Natural stone offers historic durability, interlocking blocks provide clean modern strength, and timbers are budget-friendly. The best option depends on wall height and aesthetic preference.
Do retaining walls need permits?
In most Connecticut towns, walls over 4 feet tall require a building permit and structural design review. We handle all municipal submissions.
How do you handle water runoff behind the wall?
We install perforated footing drains directed to a safe exit point, backed by clean gravel fill to channel water away from the wall structure.
Can planting beds be added behind the wall?
Yes, terraced retaining walls are excellent for creating level garden beds and tiered plantings on sloped yards.
