Stone Retaining Wall Contractors in Newtown, CT
Transform steep slopes into usable land. Expert design and installation of structural fieldstone, boulder, and decorative garden walls.
Create Flat, Usable Yard Space
Is your property difficult to mow? Do you lack a flat area for the kids to play or to install a patio? In the hilly terrain of Fairfield County, a retaining wall is often the key to unlocking your property's full potential.
At Fairfield County Outdoors, we specialize in building heavy-duty structural retaining walls that hold back the earth and create flat, functional level areas. Whether you need a massive boulder wall to support a driveway or a decorative stone tier for a flower bed, we have the heavy equipment and masonry skill to build it right.
Material Options: Natural Stone vs. Block
We offer several styles to match your landscape and budget.
1. Connecticut Fieldstone & Dry Stack Walls The classic New England look. We use locally sourced fieldstone to build walls that look like they have been there for 100 years.
Best for: Garden borders, historic homes, and natural aesthetics.
2. Large Boulder Walls For serious grade changes, nothing beats the strength of large boulders. We use our excavators to stack massive rocks for a natural, rugged look that provides incredible structural support.
Best for: Supporting driveways, large slope retention, and "rustic" landscapes.
3. Interlocking Concrete Block (Segmental Walls) Engineered wall systems (like Unilock) offer a uniform, clean look and are incredibly durable for high-stress areas.
Best for: Modern homes, high structural loads, and clean geometric lines.
Why Our Walls Don't Fail
A retaining wall is a structural dam. If water gets trapped behind it, the wall will fall down. Sadly, many contractors skip the drainage to save money. We don't.
Because we are experts in Excavation & Drainage, we build every wall with a focus on water management:
Deep Foundation: We dig a trench below the frost line filled with compacted process stone so the wall doesn't heave in winter.
Drainage Pipe: Every structural wall gets a perforated pipe behind it to carry water away.
Backfill: We backfill with clean crushed stone (not dirt) to ensure water drains instantly and doesn't push against the stones.
Integrated Hardscape Design
A wall often goes hand-in-hand with other masonry projects.
Steps & Stairs: If you build a wall, you often need stone steps to get from the lower level to the upper level.
Patios: Use a retaining wall to carve out a flat spot for a new bluestone patio.
Garden Tiers: Turn a steep hill into a series of beautiful flat planting beds.
