01What's Included

Retaining Walls, done right

A retaining wall does quiet, constant work — holding back tons of soil through freeze-thaw cycles, clay-heavy ground, and hard summer rain. We design and build walls in segmental block, natural stone, and poured concrete for Montgomery County homeowners who need slopes tamed, driveways protected, or a leaning wall replaced before it fails. Estimates are always free.

01

Segmental block walls

Engineered interlocking block systems from Techo-Bloc and Belgard, built on compacted gravel footings.

02

Natural stone walls

Dry-stacked and mortared fieldstone or boulder walls for terraced gardens and property edges.

03

Timber wall replacement

Removal of rotting railroad-tie and timber walls, replaced with longer-lasting masonry.

04

Drainage and backfill

Perforated drain pipe, gravel backfill, and filter fabric so water never builds up behind the wall.

05

Terracing and steps

Multi-tier walls with integrated steps and planting beds that turn steep yards into usable space.

06

Repairs and rebuilds

Straightening, repointing, or rebuilding walls that lean, bulge, or crack, often reusing sound material.

02Our Process

From first call to final walkthrough

01

Site visit

We walk the slope, check drainage patterns and soil, and take measurements, then give you a free written estimate.

02

Design and permits

We finalize materials, wall height, and layout, and handle Montgomery County permits and engineering when the wall requires them.

03

Excavation and build

Our crew excavates, compacts the base, sets drainage, and lays each course level, checking batter as the wall rises.

04

Backfill and walkthrough

We backfill in compacted lifts, grade the surrounding soil, haul away debris, and walk the finished wall with you.

04Questions

Good to know

Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in Montgomery County?

Often, yes — the county generally requires a permit once a wall passes a certain height, and taller walls may need engineered drawings. We confirm what applies to your property and handle the paperwork.

How long does a retaining wall project take?

Most residential walls take three days to two weeks depending on length, height, and site access, with multi-tier terracing projects running longer. We give you a working schedule along with the free estimate.

My existing wall is leaning — can it be saved?

Leaning almost always points to water pressure behind the wall or a failed base, not just age. Sometimes a section can be rebuilt with proper drainage, so we assess it at the free estimate rather than defaulting to full replacement.
