Looking for retaining walls in South Attleboro in Attleboro, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Attleboro and the rest of Bristol County from our Boston base. Attleboro projects often start as a leaking chimney and expand into full exterior masonry repair.
Housing in South Attleboro in Attleboro includes homes sitting on fieldstone and block foundations, and spring snowmelt that saturates masonry and soil is what wears this masonry down. That is why our retaining walls work starts with understanding what your building is made of — brick type, stone, mortar hardness, and drainage — before we price anything. A retaining wall fails from water, not weight. We build with proper base depth, geogrid reinforcement where needed, and drainage behind the wall so it stays plumb through New England winters.
