Retaining Walls

Retaining walls play an important role in both the function and appearance of a landscape. They prevent erosion, create level areas for walkways, patios, lawns, gardens, and outdoor living spaces. As an experienced retaining wall contractor, we evaluate your property to determine the best design and materials for your site conditions.

At General Landscaping, we specialize in retaining wall design and retaining wall construction, building durable walls for residential and commercial properties using engineered block systems, natural stone, and reinforced construction methods.

When You Need a Retaining Wall

A retaining wall installation is often the best solution when grading alone cannot solve landscape problems. Retaining walls can:

• Create level space on sloped yards for patios, lawns, or gardens
• Stop soil erosion near driveways, foundations, or property lines
• Add raised planting beds or gardens
• Define outdoor living areas while enhancing accessibly
• Allow safe and functional transition between elevations

Types of Retaining Walls We Build

Our retaining wall construction services include:

• Segmental block retaining walls with geogrid reinforcement for structural support
• Natural stone and fieldstone retaining walls for a traditional New England look
• Freestanding seat walls and knee walls for patios and outdoor living areas
• Terraced retaining wall systems
• Garden walls and raised planting beds for landscaping and erosion control

Materials and Designs

Choosing the right materials is both a structural and visual decision. Segmental retaining wall blocks provide engineered strength and consistent appearance, while natural stone retaining walls offer a timeless, traditional look.
