Retaining Wall Construction & Repair

Retaining walls hold back soil on sloped yards, along driveways and between properties. Most failures come from water: without drainage behind the wall, pressure builds until the wall leans, cracks or bulges.

We build and rebuild retaining walls in poured concrete and block, with a proper footing, drainage stone and weep openings or drain pipe behind the wall. Taller walls, and walls near property lines or supporting driveways, can need engineering and permits. We tell you what applies.

We see a lot of retaining wall work on Staten Island's hillier streets and on sloped lots in Queens and the Bronx.

What’s included

• Assessment of the existing wall and the slope
• Footing sized for the wall
• Drainage behind the wall
• Poured concrete or block construction
• Engineering and permits coordinated when required
