Garden Walls & Steps in Stanhope
Retaining wall construction in Stanhope is structural work first, decorative work second. We dig proper foundations, install drainage behind the wall, use the correct mortar mix for the height and load, and finish with stone or brick that matches your property and patio.
Why Choose Us for Garden Walls & Steps in Stanhope
Proper Footings Every Time
Every wall gets a concrete footing sized to its height and your ground. Skipping this is why so many garden walls fail within years.
Drainage Behind Retaining Walls
Water trapped behind a retaining wall is what pushes it outward. We always install a granular drainage layer and weep holes or pipe.
Walls and Steps That Tie In
We design walls, steps and patios to work together — same stone, same coping detail, same finish — for a properly considered garden.
Safe, Comfortable Steps
Consistent rise, deep tread, slip-resistant finish. Properly built steps are safer and more pleasant to use, every time.
