Uneven grades, hills, soil erosion, or stormwater flow patterns often present challenges when creating the ultimate outdoor living space. Retaining walls are a great solution to solve these challenges and many more by allowing you to sculpt your property, add texture and definition, support stone stairs, or even create more usable space.
While you may see retaining walls built from various materials, stone retaining walls create a timeless elegance you just won’t find with other materials. Natural stone retaining walls deliver every time—whether you love a historic look and feel, rustic styling, or an air of formality and grace.
At Dutchies Stoneworks, our experienced stonemasons can help you create the perfect stonework retaining wall that adds value and beauty to your property. Our in-house team works with homeowners across southeastern Pennsylvania, including Chester, Montgomery, Berks, and Bucks counties, and northern Delaware.
Looking for retaining wall ideas that complement your property? Check out some natural rock retaining wall designs from our past projects!
At Dutchies Stoneworks, we build two types of natural stone retaining rock walls—dry stack and veneer. While both offer superior strength, longevity, and beauty, each is made slightly differently. We can build your dry stack or veneer retaining wall from various stone types, so choose the one that makes the most sense for your landscape design. Choose from many stone colors and textures, from rustic golden hues to rich browns or tranquil blues.
As professional retaining wall contractors, we can build dry stack walls with flat rocks. Dry stacked stone retaining walls are built by stacking interlocking natural stones without mortar in between. Flat stacking rocks are perfect for homes that want to invoke a rustic look and feel.
Dry stack retaining walls promote natural water drainage and is also a great choice for areas with frequent freeze and thaw cycles since gaps in the stone can naturally shift and move. Irregular field stones give your home the look of historic stone walls from ages ago.
We highly recommend a veneer retaining wall because of its strength and durability. A veneer retaining wall is built using a reinforced concrete and cinderblock base, then finished with a natural stone facade that is mortared into place. Full-stone veneer uses four-inch stone to craft the outer portion.
We offer full-stone and thin veneer options in various stone types, including fieldstone, ledge rock, and sandstone. The thin veneer natural rock retaining wall is a lighter option, perfect for smaller spaces where it would be harder to fit large stones. These mortared walls provide beauty and elegance.
Your stone retaining wall needs the right structural support to stand the test of time. That’s why working with a professional stonemason with the experience to handle your project is important.
At Dutchies Stoneworks, we specialize in natural stonemasonry for various outdoor living projects, including stone patios, fireplaces, outdoor kitchens, retaining walls, and more. Owner Dave “Dutchie” Fisher is a third-generation stonemason with over 17 years of industry experience.
Our team of stonemasons is expert craftsmen who focus on every detail of your project from start to finish. Our rule of thumb is that we treat each job as if it were our own home to bring you the attention to detail and expertise you want from your retaining wall contractors.
