Retaining walls, free-standing walls, chimneys, and structural repair. Every wall we build starts with a proper footing — the part that decides if it'll still be plumb in twenty years.
Stone walls, retaining walls, chimney work, and structural repair across Northern New Jersey.
The four stages we run on every masonry job. Same workflow whether it's a small fix or a full install.
We measure, check grade and drainage, and ask what you want the finished wall to do. Photos go in the file the same day.
Footing dug below the 36-inch frost line. Compacted base course of 3/4-inch clean for segmental walls; reinforced concrete footing for mortared.
Stones picked for face, hearting tied in behind. Drain tile, gravel backfill, and filter fabric on the retained side as the wall comes up.
Cap course mortared or pinned. Joints tooled, faces brushed, site swept. Walkthrough on the last day.

Excellent experience with Ardian and his team. They did a beautiful job on retaining wall and paved patio and worked hard to go beyond what was promised. It was a pleasure to work with them. Ardian listened to what I needed and worked to make it happen. I highly recommend them and will use them again for future jobs.
Ardian and Florent were professionals and make an excellent team. My wife and I collaborated well with them and they paid attention to our detailed requests. The project was completed in a timely fashion, and we would recommend them.
The work was done on a timely basis — one day building a decorative wall along the driveway. The workers were great and friendly, answered all my questions. When done they cleaned the driveway and back-filled the flower bed behind the walk. I would truly recommend them again.
Ardian and his team were amazing. They were knowledgeable and informative. They were straight to the point and absolute professionals at their trade. They worked hard building my retaining wall. Not only is the awful slope in my yard gone and now perfectly level, the wall is gorgeous. Ardian and his team exceeded my expectations and I look forward to working with them on my next project.
Ardian and his team did a great job. Showed up on time. Worked hard until the work was complete. Minimal disruption to my property. Excellent job! Highly recommend.
Excellent work! They were able to get the work done right away! A pleasure to work with, and reasonably priced! We love our retaining wall!
The four things people actually want to know before they sign an estimate.
In most Northern NJ townships we work in, walls over 4 feet of retained height need a permit and a stamped engineering drawing. Anything below that is usually permit-exempt but still has to meet setback rules. We check with your township before we quote.
A properly footed dry-laid wall is a 50+ year structure. A mortared wall is similar provided drainage is correct. The failure mode is almost always water — freeze/thaw behind the wall — which is why we put as much work into drain tile and backfill as we do into the face.
Yes. We'll pull a stone from the existing wall to match material at the yard, and mortar joints are tooled to the same profile and color. The new section reads as part of the original wall, not a patch.
Dry-laid is typically 15–25% more labor per linear foot because the fit has to work without mortar. Mortared walls cost more in material (footing, rebar, mortar) but go faster in the field. Your estimate breaks the choice out so you can compare apples to apples.
