Create useful structure across a sloped Waltham property.

Retaining walls can organize slopes, create usable landscape areas and connect different elevations. We plan retaining wall construction in Waltham around wall height, soil, nearby loads, water behind the wall and the relationship to steps, lawn and planting.

  • Stone retaining walls
  • Segmental retaining walls
  • Garden terraces
  • Landscape bed walls
  • Wall and step combinations
  • Slope improvements

Start with grade, loads and site conditions

The slope above a wall, nearby driveways, structures and soil conditions influence the design. Some retaining walls require engineering or local approval. Reviewing those factors early helps define a responsible scope before material and appearance decisions are finalized.

Build the complete retaining wall system

The visible face is only one part of a wall. A suitable base, structural wall units or stone, appropriate backfill and management of water behind the wall work together. Installation details should match the height, loading and conditions of the property.

Connect the wall to the surrounding landscape

Steps, terraces, lawn and planting can turn a difficult grade into a more intentional outdoor area. We consider access to both sides of the wall, maintenance needs and transitions to adjoining surfaces when planning the layout.
