Support, Structure, and Curb Appeal—All in One
At New England Total Landscaping, we design and build retaining walls that don’t just solve grade problems—they enhance the overall landscape. From stacked stone to engineered block systems, we create walls that are functional, safe, and seamlessly integrated into your outdoor space. Whether it’s a small garden wall or a large structural solution, we engineer every detail for long-term performance.
Where Utility Meets Aesthetics—Wall to Wall
We build retaining walls across Greenwich, Stamford, and surrounding areas—whether for erosion control, elevation changes, or purely decorative purposes. Our team evaluates drainage, soil conditions, and usage needs to ensure your wall won’t just look good today—but stay strong for years to come.

Retaining Walls That Do More Than Hold Back
A Shared Vision
We walk the space with you, discuss what you’re hoping to do, and explain the best options. Whether you’re looking to reclaim a sloped yard, add definition to a landscape, or solve drainage concerns, we’ll answer your questions and map out a clear path forward
Build Strength and Detail
Using professional equipment, we excavate and compact the base, add drainage systems, and begin building with either natural stone or modular blocks—layered with precision and stability.
Walls That Work and Wow
When the last capstone is set and the final grade smoothed, you’re left with more than just a wall—you’re left with space you can actually use and a yard that feels more complete. Whether you integrate plantings, lighting, or simply admire the transformation
Natural stone creates a timeless, organic look—but requires expertise to stack, shape, and stabilize properly. We hand-set each stone for a dry-laid or mortar-backed finish, ensuring the wall flows naturally with your landscape while remaining structurally sound. Perfect for garden beds, terracing, or enhancing older properties.
