Retaining & Stone Walls

Retaining walls that hold a slope and stone walls that define a property, built by craftsmen with decades of experience across the South Shore.

Walls that work as hard as they look

A retaining wall holds back soil on a slope and turns uneven ground into level, usable space. A decorative stone wall does a different job: it marks an edge, frames a planting bed, or gives a property the settled, finished look that New England stonework is known for. Burns Landscaping builds both.

We have built stone and retaining walls for homeowners, condominium communities, and commercial properties across the South Shore since 1990. Every wall we install is built to last decades, not just a few seasons. We use the right materials and the right methods, and we do not cut corners.

Walls are often one part of a larger project. We regularly build them together with patios and walkways or as part of a full landscape design, so the stonework matches across the whole property.

How a wall project comes together

Design & Materials

We recommend the stone and layout, and on design projects show you a digital visualization first.
