Built to Last Generations
WALLS THAT HOLD.
FOREVER.
A properly built retaining wall does two things: it stops erosion and creates usable outdoor space. A poorly built one collapses, damages your property, and costs far more to fix than it would have to do right the first time. Cutting Edge Landscaping & Excavation builds retaining walls that last.
From small garden walls to massive engineered boulder systems, our crews have installed hundreds of retaining walls across Kings and Queens County. We assess drainage, soil conditions, and load requirements before we ever place the first stone.
- Natural stone and boulder walls
- Concrete block retaining walls
- Armour stone installations

- Timber and railroad tie walls
- Drainage and waterproofing integration
- Residential and commercial scale
The Cutting Edge Difference
"Many walls fail because of poor drainage; we install oversized drainage systems and clean gravel backfill so your wall never leans or collapses."
RETAINING WALL TYPES WE BUILD
Natural Stone
Hand-selected stone creates beautiful, organic-looking walls that blend with the landscape while providing serious structural support.
Armour Stone / Boulder
Large granite and limestone boulders stacked and engineered to hold back massive slopes. Extremely durable and low maintenance.
Concrete Block
Allan Block, Unilock, and similar systems create clean, geometric retaining walls for modern landscapes and commercial applications.
Interlocking Systems
Engineered interlocking units designed for specific load requirements and site conditions, with battered faces for stability.
Timber Walls
Pressure-treated timber or railroad tie walls for a natural look on smaller grade changes and garden terraces.
Gabion Walls
Wire mesh baskets filled with stone — a cost-effective and highly durable solution for large retaining applications.
RETAINING WALL FAQ
How long does a retaining wall last?
A properly installed retaining wall with correct drainage can last 50–100+ years. We build them to outlast the structure they support.
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall?
Walls over a certain height (typically 4 feet) require a permit. We can advise on local requirements for Kings and Queens County.
What's the most important factor in retaining wall longevity?
Drainage. Without proper drainage behind the wall, hydrostatic pressure will eventually cause failure regardless of material.
Do you offer any warranty on retaining walls?
Yes. We back our retaining wall work with our workmanship guarantee. If there's a failure due to our installation, we make it right.
