Retaining Walls
Walls Built for Strength, Function, and Beauty
Add structure and style to your outdoor space with a custom retaining wall. Our team designs and installs walls that provide stability, prevent erosion, and create amazing visual appeal.
The Foundation of a Lasting Landscape
Retaining walls do much more than hold back soil. They create structure, elevate design, and unlock the full potential of your outside space. At Bahler Brothers, we build retaining walls that blend durability and craftsmanship, all designed to withstand Connecticut’s freeze-thaw cycles.
From structural walls, tiered design, or a decorative garden wall, we do it all and make sure it complements your home’s architecture and enhances your living space.
Why Choose a Stone Retaining Wall?
Retaining walls provide structural support that prevents erosion and helps manage water flow on uneven terrain. By ensuring that the proper drainage is taken into account, we can build retaining walls of any size that will last for decades.
Our walls aren’t just functional though. They add texture and definition to your landscape, creating planting areas, sitting walls, and transitions between levels.

We decided in the late Spring of 2025 to add a pool in our yard. by that May we had picked the pool company and all of the elements of the pool and pool system. However, we needed quite a bit of landscaping to reshape our yard, plan and install the deck surrounding our pool, and make sure that the drainage solutions we desired were correctly implemented. We hired a landscape architect to make exact plans. In June, we began searching for the right company to handle our project needs for the landscaping and deck. our pool company recommended Bahler Brothers and Josh Bahler came up to meet us. From the first meeting we were impressed with his energy, his knowledge, his humility, and his enthusiasm for getting our project done just the way we wanted it. We signed a fixed price contract for the decking we picked with Josh's help and for a retaining wall we needed built. We could not sign a fixed price contract for the landscaping and drainage work we needed done so we agreed to have that work done on a time and materials basis. From late July through August Bahler Brothers had teams here working on our project. Each of their employees was friendly, expert in his/her tasks, eager to get things done just right and timely in their work. The end result was spectacular; beyond anything we, our family, an our friends had ever seen or imagined. After the work was complete, Josh Bahler called to make sure that everything was done right and to our satisfaction. Only when assured that we were 100% satisfied did we receive a bill. It was extremely fair and frankly for less than we had expected. Weeks later, after we had paid the bill in full, a small drainage problem popped up after a deluge caused by a heavy rainstorm. We let Josh know and he was on site within hours to suggest and make a slight tweak in the drainage plans our landscape architect had made. The problem was solved, and no further bill was received. I highly recommend Bahler Brothers. They are the epitome of excellent craftsmen whose pride in their craft is really inspiring. Fred Fierst, Florence, MA
We were thoroughly surprised at the customer service! We had a worrisome problem with staining on our 4 year old concrete paver patio. Even though Bahler Brothers hadn't installed it, they offered to send someone out to troubleshoot it. Sam and Dave came out to our home- not once but twice -to diagnose the issue and suggest remedies. AT NO CHARGE! Remarkable in these days and times.
Bahler Brothers did a really nice job replacing our front steps. Original steps were concrete and the entire structure was tilted forward. In one day Bahler removed the old steps and replaced them with granite steps. And despite using heavy equipment, there was minimal damage to the front lawn. Our neighbors used them for a major project and recommended them. Their prices were fair, and we will definitely use them for future jobs - no hesitation.
Professional from my first call to the completion of the beautiful paver walkway. Clearly experienced - top notch service and installation by their team of professionals. Bahler Brothers delivered on their promise.
Frequently Asked Questions About Retaining Wall Installations
How much does a retaining wall cost?
A retaining wall can vary in price, depending on the size of the area, the materials used, and the conditions of the site. As a general rule of thumb, expect to pay anywhere from $35 to $50 per square foot, including excavation and installation. For a more detailed estimate, try out our Cost Calculator.
How long do retaining walls last?
When properly built, retaining walls can last 30 to 50 years or more. Our base systems and high-quality materials ensure lasting strength through harsh winters and heavy rainfall throughout Connecticut and Massachusetts.
Do retaining walls require drainage?
Yes. Proper drainage is critical. We install perforated drain pipes and gravel backfill to prevent hydrostatic pressure, which can cause walls to fail over time.
Can a retaining wall also be decorative?
Absolutely! Many of our clients choose to integrate retaining walls into their outdoor living design, like raised patios and garden beds, sitting walls, or other accent features that add beauty as well as structure.
Do you replace or repair existing retaining walls?
Yes, we can inspect your current wall to determine if it can be repaired or needs to be rebuilt. We recommend reaching out to our design team with more information about your space.
