Retaining Wall Contractor in Stamford, CT
Sloped and rocky lots often need a retaining wall to create usable yard space and control erosion. StoneForge Paving & Masonry designs and builds segmental block and natural stone retaining walls with a compacted base and proper drainage behind every wall.
Why Build a Retaining Wall
A retaining wall holds back soil on a slope, creates level terraces for patios and gardens, prevents erosion and protects driveways and foundations. A well-built wall with drainage stone and pipe behind it will not bulge or lean over time.
We build retaining walls in Stamford, Greenwich and Norwalk. Related services include excavation and site preparation, drainage solutions and outdoor steps.
Wall Systems & What Drives the Cost
Choose from segmental retaining wall block, natural fieldstone, boulder walls, or poured concrete faced with stone veneer, with matching caps and steps built into the wall.
Cost depends on the wall length and height, the material, soil conditions and access, drainage requirements, and whether an engineered design is needed. Taller walls may require a permit and engineering, which we will advise on during the estimate.
Our Retaining Wall Process
The strength of a retaining wall is in the base and drainage you cannot see.
- Site Assessment — We review the slope, soil and water flow and recommend a wall design.
- Excavation — A trench is dug and a compacted gravel leveling pad installed.
- Wall Construction — Courses are set level, with reinforcement grid where required.
- Drainage — Drain pipe and clean stone are placed behind the wall as it rises.
- Capping & Backfill — Caps are installed, the wall backfilled and the site restored.
