We build them the way they last: a real footing, drainage behind the wall, and compacted backfill, so the wall does not bulge or lean a few winters in. Licensed and insured since 2017 (PA #139378).

Our go-to for structural walls. ### Natural Stone Fieldstone and cut stone fit historic and higher-end properties. More labor, but nothing else looks like it. ### Poured Concrete For the heaviest loads and tall walls, a poured, reinforced concrete wall carries what block and stone can't. ### Boulder Walls Large stone boulders give a rugged, natural look on the right slope. ## When You Need a Retaining Wall A retaining wall does one job: it holds ground in place. You need one when: - Your yard slopes and soil is washing toward the house or driveway - An existing wall is bulging, leaning, or cracking - You want to terrace a hillside into usable, flat space - Water pools against your foundation after it rains Catching a failing wall early is far cheaper than rebuilding one that has already moved. ## How We Build Retaining Walls That Last Most retaining walls fail for the same reason: water with nowhere to go. Here is how we build so that does not happen. - #### Footing & Base We dig below the frost line and compact a solid base so the wall does not heave in winter. - #### Drainage Gravel backfill and a drain behind the wall give water an exit. This is the single biggest reason a wall lasts or fails. - #### Wall Construction We set block or stone, or pour concrete, level and tied for strength, to the height your slope needs. - #### Backfill & Finish We compact behind the wall, grade the top, and leave the site clean.

But once a wall gets tall or holds back a serious slope, it becomes a structural element, and Philadelphia code treats it that way. Walls over about four feet usually need a permit, and taller or tiered walls often need an engineer's design so they don't fail under the load. We handle that. We tell you upfront if your wall needs a stamp, pull the permits, and build to the drawings, so you're not left with a wall that gets red-tagged or, worse, gives way. ## Why Philadelphia Homeowners Choose APS We're a local crew, licensed, and we've been building walls across Philadelphia since 2017 out of our shop in Huntingdon Valley. - Licensed and insured, PA #139378 - Home Advisor Top Rated, Screened & Approved - Real drainage and a below-frost footing, not just stacked block - Code-compliant construction for walls that need it - Free, written estimates with a clear scope Before you call, see the work.

Usually for walls over about 4 feet, and taller walls can need an engineer's sign-off. We tell you exactly what your wall requires and handle the permitting so it's built to code. - #### How much does a retaining wall cost? It comes down to height, length, the material, and how much drainage and excavation the site needs. We give you a written estimate after we see the slope, so the number matches your actual wall. - #### What material is best: block, stone, or concrete? It depends on the load the wall carries and the look you want. Engineered block is efficient for structural walls, natural stone fits historic homes, poured concrete handles the heaviest loads. We recommend after we see the site. - #### Why do retaining walls fail? Almost always water. Without drainage, water builds up behind the wall and pushes it out until it bulges, leans, or cracks. We build every wall with gravel backfill and a drain so water has somewhere to go. - #### How long does a retaining wall take to build? A small garden wall can be a few days; a tall structural wall with heavy excavation takes longer. We give you a timeline with the estimate. - #### How tall can a retaining wall be? As tall as your slope needs, but taller walls require engineering, permits, and sometimes tiers. We design and build multi-tier walls for bigger grade changes.   ### Check Out Our Blog ###### 7 min read #### [2025 Outdoor Living Trends Montgomery County Pennsylvania](https://www.apsmasonrycontracting.com/services/contractor/2025-outdoor-living-trends-montgomery-county-pennsylvania) Alec Serowatka: Oct 22, 2025 Outdoor living in Montgomery County PA has evolved; refined outdoor spaces built for beauty,... ###### 5 min read #### [2025 Farmhouse Restoration Trends in Bucks & Montgomery County](https://www.apsmasonrycontracting.com/services/contractor/2025-farmhouse-restoration-trends-in-bucks-montgomery-county) Alec Serowatka: Oct 13, 2025 Where the legacy of Pennsylvania’s stone farmhouses meets the sophistication of modern living... ###### 8 min read #### [Historic Home Remodeling Costs Philadelphia 2025](https://www.apsmasonrycontracting.com/services/contractor/historic-home-remodeling-costs-philadelphia-2025) Alec Serowatka: Oct 10, 2025 Remodeling your historic Philadelphia home in 2025 just got easier (and cheaper).
