Retaining Walls in Marshfield, MA

Solve Your Slope Problems

Many yards in Marshfield have hills and slopes. While a little slope can look nice, too much slope creates problems. Rain washes away soil. Grass won't grow evenly. And you can't put a patio or play area on a hill.

A retaining wall solves these problems. It holds back the soil and creates a flat area where there used to be a slope. You get more usable space and stop erosion at the same time.

Why You Might Need a Retaining Wall

• Erosion Control: Stop soil from washing away during heavy rain
• Create Level Space: Turn a slope into a flat area for a patio or garden
• Protect Your Foundation: Keep soil from pushing against your house
• Define Garden Beds: Create raised planting areas
• Add Visual Interest: Break up a plain yard with attractive stone walls
• Increase Property Value: Well-built walls add real value to your home

Materials We Use

Natural Stone: Fieldstone and other natural stones give a classic New England look. Each stone is different, so your wall will be one of a kind.

Concrete Blocks: Modern concrete blocks come in many colors and textures. They're strong and go together faster than natural stone, which can save on labor costs.

Boulder Walls: Large boulders stacked together create a dramatic look. Good for areas where you want a natural feel.

Built the Right Way

A retaining wall holds back a lot of weight. If it's not built right, it will lean, crack, or even fall over. We build walls that last for decades.

The key is what you don't see. Every wall needs a solid base, proper drainage behind it, and the right amount of batter (lean-back) to resist the soil pressure. We take care of all these details.

For taller walls, we may need to get a permit from the town. We handle all the paperwork and make sure the wall meets local building codes.

Common in Coastal Areas

Properties near the water often have erosion problems. High tides and storm surges can eat away at your land over time. A well-built retaining wall protects your property from these forces.

We've built many walls for homes near Green Harbor Beach and other coastal areas. We know how to choose materials and methods that hold up to salt air and wet conditions.
