Retaining walls in New Jersey
Strong walls that hold back earth and frame your land. Built to last through New Jersey winters and engineered for the soil beneath your feet.
Walls built to hold
FCM Masonry builds retaining walls that work as hard as they look. We engineer every wall for New Jersey's soil and weather, then finish it with the materials and style that match your vision.
Walls that work and define your space
Retaining walls do more than hold soil. They create terraced gardens, frame slopes, add character to your property, and turn challenging terrain into usable outdoor living.

Retaining Wall Questions
Answers to what matters most about your retaining wall project.
Most retaining walls over four feet require permits in New Jersey. We handle all permitting, inspections, and code compliance so you don't have to worry about the paperwork.
Height depends on soil type, drainage capacity, and local regulations. We engineer each wall to handle your specific terrain and meet all New Jersey requirements.
Drainage is critical to wall longevity. We install gravel backfill, perforated pipe, and weep holes to direct water away and prevent pressure buildup that causes failure.
We guarantee our work with comprehensive coverage on materials and labor. Your estimate includes full warranty details and our commitment to long-term performance.
