Recent Projects

A few walls we've built across Long Island's North Shore. Real jobs, real costs, real timelines. Names changed where homeowners asked us to.

Cold Spring Harbor retaining wall, Cambridge Pyzique, 62 LF
// COLD SPRING HARBOR · LAUREL HOLLOW

62 LF Cambridge Pyzique driveway wall

SUMMER 2024 · 8 WORKING DAYS · 5'2" MAX HEIGHT

Side driveway wall on a long curving entry. Hit a buried section of older fieldstone during excavation and salvaged about a ton of nice stone for the owner's garden. Toscana blend, dual cap detail at the end returns. Permit handled in-house, engineer's stamp included.

FINAL INVOICE$26,400
Centerport retaining wall behind pool deck, Cambridge MaytRx
// CENTERPORT · LITTLE NECK

84 LF Cambridge MaytRx behind a pool deck

SPRING 2023 · 9 WORKING DAYS · 4'8" MAX HEIGHT

Replacement of a failing 1980s timber wall behind a pool. Coordinated around the pool company's reopening schedule so the owners didn't lose a weekend of the season. Geogrid through the upper third, full drainage to a daylight outlet toward Little Neck Bay.

FINAL INVOICE$32,800
Lloyd Harbor three-tier garden wall, Nicolock Olde Greenwich
// LLOYD HARBOR

96 LF three-tier Nicolock garden wall

FALL 2023 · 9 WORKING DAYS · 3 TIERS · 36" EACH

Tiered backyard for an owner who wanted to plant mountain laurel between the lower tiers and hostas on the middle level. Each tier got its own drainage tied into the existing dry well at the southeast corner. The Nicolock Olde Greenwich blend matched the existing patio block.

FINAL INVOICE$43,200
Setauket natural fieldstone retaining wall, custom
// EAST SETAUKET

44 LF natural fieldstone wall

SUMMER 2023 · 11 WORKING DAYS · 3'10" MAX

The owner wanted the wall to match the existing 1940s stone foundation on their house. We sourced field stone locally and hand-fit it course by course. The slow part of any natural stone wall is finding the next stone — this one took us 11 working days because of the visual matching.

FINAL INVOICE$28,800
Port Washington Cambridge Pyzique driveway retaining wall
// PORT WASHINGTON · BEACON HILL

38 LF Cambridge Pyzique front-yard driveway wall

OCTOBER 2023 · 5 WORKING DAYS · 3'2" MAX

Small but exacting front yard wall for a former architect who went through our spec line by line. Dual cap detail (top and step-down). Drainage to a buried outlet 18 feet downhill. He referred us to two neighbors. Both became jobs.

FINAL INVOICE$17,200
North Shore tiered hillside retaining wall
// HEAD OF THE HARBOR

110 LF tiered Nicolock with geogrid

FALL 2023 · 12 WORKING DAYS · 2 TIERS · GEOGRID

The lawn had been sliding toward the Nissequogue River for years. Two tiers of Nicolock Olde Greenwich with two layers of geogrid extending 7 feet back into the slope. Engineer's stamp required. The slope hasn't moved in three growing seasons.

FINAL INVOICE$48,200
Glen Cove driveway retaining wall, Nicolock blend
// GLEN COVE · LATTINGTOWN

70 LF Cambridge Pyzique driveway wall

SUMMER 2024 · 7 WORKING DAYS · 4'6" MAX

Owner had been quoted $32K elsewhere with no breakdown. Our itemized quote came in lower with full drainage and permit handling included. The before-and-after photos were so good we still use them on the home page.

FINAL INVOICE$27,900
Mid-build retaining wall photo, North Shore Long Island
// LLOYD HARBOR · MID-BUILD

The part you don't usually see

PROCESS · WHAT'S BEHIND THE WALL

A mid-build shot showing what most contractors hide: the geogrid going in between courses, the clean 3/4" stone backfill, the geotextile fabric pulled tight against the soil face. This is the work that decides whether a wall lasts 7 years or 40.
