Structural Retaining Walls in South Jersey

Engineered Retaining Walls Designed to Stabilize Slopes

"A retaining wall is a structural safety element. If you don't compact the subgrade or build a proper gravel drainage backfill, the wall will bow and collapse. We build them to stand solid for forty years." — Dominic Herron, Owner

South Jersey properties feature unique slopes and sandy, clay-heavy soils that put tremendous pressure on outdoor structures. At Herron's Hardscaping, we specialize in heavy-duty, engineered retaining walls designed to stabilize sloped yards, prevent soil erosion, and create beautiful, multi-tiered outdoor spaces.

Our Structural Wall Principles

• Deep Footings: We excavate deep below the frost line and compact a thick crushed-stone footing to support the weight of the block wall without settling.
• Engineered Drainage: Every wall we build includes a dedicated perforated drain pipe (weep holes) and clean 3/4" gravel backfill to relieve hydrostatic water pressure.
• Interlocking Durability: We use premium, high-density interlocking block systems pinned with structural connectors and finished with heavy stone caps.
