The short answer
Sloped yards are common around Greater Boston, and a good retaining wall turns a hill into usable space. The part you see is the block or stone face. The part that decides whether the wall lasts is the trench, the compacted base and the drainage behind it.
We build segmental block walls and stone walls, and we repair walls that have started to lean, bulge or lose stones. Taller walls can need engineering and a permit, and we will tell you when that applies.
Water pressure behind the wall is winning. It needs drainage, not just a patch.
The base or the backfill has moved. Usually that section has to be rebuilt.
Missing fabric or drainage stone lets soil wash out, and the wall settles.
How it works
Height, soil, where the water comes from and where it can go.
Trench excavated, stone base compacted and leveled for the first course.
Courses set with drainage stone and a drain behind the wall as it rises.
Caps set, backfill compacted, the area graded and cleaned up.
