Our Retaining Wall Installation Process

Because your home is located in Westchester, an area with its own climate and soil, we follow a specific process to make sure your walls are structurally sound and will stand the test of time.

  1. Site Inspection & Quote: We will first evaluate your terrain, elevation, soil quality, and design functionality, and then present you with a retaining wall quote.
  2. Permit Handling: We handle permits and approvals with local building departments, including engineered plans if necessary.
  3. Excavation & Foundation Prep: We job-site and create accurate excavation, put down a strong gravel base for stability, and clear the site.
  4. Drainage System Installation: Each wall is secured with built-in drainage as well as geotextile fabric, perforated pipe, and fill to prevent water damage.
  5. Wall Construction & Reinforcement: We typically use segmental blocks, poured concrete, or natural stone with a structural backbone, depending on the height of the wall and the application of use.
  6. Backfill & Compaction: Backfill and compact each layer to engineer grade in order to secure and maintain the integrity of the sod.
  7. Final Grading & Cleanup: We conclude with topsoil placement, light grading, and optional landscaping or lighting add-ons.

From deep slopes to planter beds, we construct terracing walls that are installed to perform the first time.

Retaining Walls for Every Purpose

Retaining walls do more than hold back soil. They frame outdoor living areas, help prevent erosion, and add value to property. We want to create walls that address concerns and lift the landscape at the same time.” From easy borders in small gardens to engineered beauty in even the most intricate of designs, each wall is built to perform and designed to look beautiful.
