Retaining Walls in Gladwyne, PA
A failing wall, a slope shedding soil, or a yard you cannot use because of the grade: a retaining wall built right solves all three. We design and build segmental block and natural stone retaining walls for homeowners in Gladwyne, PA, engineered with the proper base and drainage so they hold for decades, not seasons.
Retaining walls we build in Gladwyne
We build segmental block walls, natural fieldstone walls, tiered walls, and seating walls, whatever the property and the look call for. Homeowners in Gladwyne come to us to hold a slope that is failing or eroding, to carve level, usable space out of a hillside yard, to clean up the front of a property along the sidewalk, or to replace an old wall that is leaning, bulging, or already coming apart.
How we build a wall that lasts
A retaining wall lives or dies on what you cannot see. Our crew excavates and compacts a proper aggregate base, builds in drainage behind the wall so water moves through instead of building pressure against it, sets the wall with the correct batter, and adds geogrid reinforcement into the slope on taller walls. We use heavy-duty equipment for the excavation and base work and premium block or stone for the face. Skipping the base and drainage is why so many walls fail in a few years; doing them right is why ours do not.
Why homeowners in Gladwyne call Mex Landscaping
Our work is led by a Pennsylvania-licensed landscape architect, so a wall is designed as an engineered structure and a finished part of the landscape at the same time, with drainage planned in from the start. We serve Gladwyne and the surrounding Main Line and Montgomery County, and every wall starts with a free on-site estimate.
Retaining Walls in Gladwyne: common questions
How much does a retaining wall cost in Gladwyne?
It depends on the length and height of the wall, the material, site access, and the drainage and base work required, so a flat number would be a guess. We give you a firm price after a free on-site estimate.
Why do retaining walls fail?
Almost always for two reasons: no drainage behind the wall, so water pressure builds and pushes it out, and an inadequate base. We build every wall with a compacted aggregate base and drainage behind the face, which is exactly what keeps it standing.
Do I need an engineered retaining wall?
Taller walls (generally over about four feet) and walls holding significant loads need engineering, and we handle that. Even shorter walls need proper base and drainage to last, which we build in as standard.
