Hardscape questions from NJ homeowners
Do retaining walls need drainage?
Yes. Water pressure behind a wall is the most common cause of failure. We install gravel backfill and drainage pipe behind retaining walls so water can escape.
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall in NJ?
Taller retaining walls often need a permit and sometimes an engineered design. Requirements vary by town; we check what your project needs and handle the permit process.
Can you fix a leaning or failing wall?
In many cases yes. We assess why it failed — usually base or drainage — and rebuild it correctly.
What is the difference between hardscape and landscaping?
Hardscape is the built, non-living part of the yard: walls, walkways, steps, patios and fire pits. Landscaping is the plants, lawn and soil.
