Retaining Walls in Foxborough, MA
Looking for retaining walls in Foxborough, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Foxborough and the rest of Norfolk County from our Boston base. Foxborough homeowners often combine a fire pit and seating wall with a new patio.
Housing in Foxborough includes older brick multi-families and colonials built before 1940, 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.

Do I need a permit for a retaining wall?
Most Massachusetts towns require a permit above four feet, and many require engineered drawings. We tell you the local rule and handle the filing.
