Retaining Walls in the Lehigh Valley, PA

Retaining walls engineered for drainage and load — not just stacked and hoped-for.

About This Service

Period-correct craftsmanship, done right the first time.

A retaining wall is a structural system, not a decoration. In the Lehigh Valley's clay soils and freeze-thaw climate, walls fail when they're built without proper base prep, drainage or reinforcement. Rome Masonry builds retaining walls that hold — segmental block, natural stone, and reinforced systems — with the right footing, backfill, drainage stone and drain tile so the wall stays put through decades of seasons.

Serving Center Valley, the Lehigh Valley, Lehigh County and surrounding towns within a 30-mile radius.

How tall can you build a retaining wall?+
We build walls of virtually any height. Walls over about 4 feet typically need engineered drawings and reinforcement — we handle both, working with local engineers when required.
Why do so many retaining walls fail?+
Almost always drainage or base prep. Without a compacted stone base and a way for water to escape behind the wall, hydrostatic pressure pushes even a heavy wall out over a few winters.
Do you offer stone or block walls?+
Both. Segmental block is cost-effective and consistent; natural stone is timeless and blends with older homes. We'll walk your site and recommend what fits the load, the look and the budget.
Do I need a permit?+
In many Lehigh Valley townships, walls above a certain height or near property lines require permits. We handle permitting where it's needed as part of the project.
