“We had a sloped backyard that was eroding every time it rained, and Philadelphia Retaining Wall built us a beautiful 20-foot natural stone retaining wall. The whole crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, and had everything cleaned up by the end of each day. Our garden is now level and stable, couldn't be happier with the result.”
Retaining Wall Installation
“Had them install a dry-stacked boulder wall along our property line in Norristown. The stones they selected were perfect, and honestly I was impressed by how they managed the drainage without making it look complicated. Looks like it's been there for years already.”
Boulder & Natural Stone Walls
“Our hillside was washing away and we needed help fast. Philadelphia Retaining Wall came out, assessed the problem, and installed a concrete retaining wall with proper drainage that stopped the erosion immediately. The work took about two weeks and they kept us updated the whole time.”
Slope Stabilization & Erosion Control
“The block retaining wall in our backyard was leaning and cracking, we were worried it might collapse. These guys fixed it professionally without having to tear down the whole thing. Great communication throughout, and the wall is solid again.”
Retaining Wall Repair
“We needed a tall concrete retaining wall to support our raised garden beds and prevent runoff from the neighbor's property. Philadelphia Retaining Wall poured it perfectly, and it's holding up beautifully after a few months. The crew was professional and the pricing was fair.”
Concrete Retaining Walls
“Our old timber retaining wall was rotting and falling apart, so we had Philadelphia Retaining Wall replace it with a new segmental block wall. They removed the old one cleanly, built the new wall in less than a week, and the difference is night and day. Definitely recommend them.”
