Your land is shifting. Your slope is eroding Fix it right — once.

Most residential projects run $4,000–$20,000+ depending on height, length, material, and site conditions. Concrete block starts around $25–40/sq ft of wall face; natural stone runs $35–60/sq ft; boulder walls start at $40+. The most accurate number comes from a free on-site assessment — site conditions matter more for walls than for any other hardscape project.

In most RI towns, walls under 4 feet don’t require a permit. Walls over 4 feet typically do — and we’ll handle that with you. If your property is near a wetland buffer (common in South County), additional setback requirements may apply. We identify all of this during your free assessment.

Most residential walls take 2–5 days depending on length, height, and site access. Larger projects or boulder walls requiring equipment may take a week or more. We give you a specific timeline at your assessment and stick to it.

The most common cause is lack of proper drainage. When water can’t escape from behind a wall, hydrostatic pressure builds up and pushes it outward. The second is insufficient footing depth — walls that don’t extend below the frost line heave every winter until they fail. We build every wall with both addressed from day one.

Yes — and especially for retaining walls, which require more site prep and sometimes permits. Spring books 4–6 weeks out by March. If your situation involves active erosion or a leaning wall, getting your assessment now means we can prioritize your project once conditions allow.

Steep grades, unstable soils, proximity to structures, and wetland buffers all add complexity — and we’ve worked with all of them. We assess the full picture during your free site visit and give you an honest recommendation, even if that means tiered walls, specific drainage systems, or a different approach than you’d considered.
