Retaining Walls That Solve Problems and Look Right Doing It
Erosion, slope management, and grade changes handled with walls engineered to last. A&S Landscaping designs and installs retaining walls for residential and commercial properties throughout New Jersey.
A Retaining Wall Is Structural, Not Decorative
A retaining wall is not decorative. It is structural. Drainage, footing depth, and proper backfill determine whether it stands for decades or fails within a few years.
Structural Walls That Stay Standing
Natural stone, segmental block (Versa-Lok, Allan Block, Belgard), and poured concrete. Material selected for wall height, soil conditions, and load requirements.
Engineered When Required
For walls over four feet, we work with licensed structural engineers to meet NJ building code. Geogrid reinforcement, drainage, and correct backfill are standard.
Drainage Done Right
Perforated drain pipe and drainage aggregate behind every wall to relieve hydrostatic pressure — the number one reason retaining walls fail.
Every Step of Your Retaining Wall Project, Covered
- Site assessment and design
- Excavation, footing, and drainage installation
- Wall construction with geogrid reinforcement
- Backfill and grading
- Property restoration and cleanup

Common Questions About Retaining Walls
Pair Your Wall With These Services
Many of our retaining wall projects include one or more of these complementary services.
Drainage Solutions
Proper drainage is often part of the same project. We install French drains and surface drainage systems.
Paver Patios & Walkways
Often installed at the same time as the retaining wall. We handle both scopes in-house.
Landscape Design
After the wall is built, we can design planting beds and landscape to finish the space.
“Professional from start to finish. The retaining wall they built solved our drainage problem and looks like it's been there forever. Worth every penny.”
