Retaining walls can be made of many different materials such as clay brick, concrete pavers, railway ties, concrete, and concrete wall blocks. Retaining walls have been used for thousands of years.  Many areas in the northeast are not very level and require retaining walls to level areas on a sloped surface.  Retaining walls have numerous qualities and can be used for different purposes.  They can be used as a seating wall or they can have a light post adjacent to them in order to illuminate the areas people walk.  The walls can have steps incorporated within them ultimately leading to a walkway or patio. They can also hold and retain soil therefore eliminating the process of re-grading by keeping the soil at different elevations.  The most common of these to retain soil is concrete wall blocks and railway ties.  Stone Tech Designs specializes in building walls with all these different materials.  Contact our company today and we can go over some of the options to help solve your grade problems.  Call us at (516) 764-4815 or email our company at mike@stonetechmasonry.com.
