RETAINING WALLS
Protect your landscape and create usable yard space with professionally engineered retaining walls.

STRUCTURAL RETAINING WALLS
Sloping yards and eroding hillsides present real challenges for South Shore homeowners. A professionally built structural retaining wall from MAC Excavation & Landscape solves drainage problems, prevents soil loss, and creates level areas for patios, gardens, or lawn space. Every structural wall is engineered with proper footing depth, reinforced backfill, and integrated drainage to handle Massachusetts weather conditions year after year.
Whether your property requires a 2-foot garden terrace or an 8-foot hillside retention system, MAC delivers walls that perform under pressure. Natural stone, segmental block, and boulder options give your project a look that enhances your landscape while providing the structural support your property demands.

DECORATIVE STONE WALLS
Not every wall needs to hold back a hillside. Decorative stone walls define property boundaries, frame garden beds, and add timeless New England character to your outdoor spaces. MAC Excavation & Landscape builds freestanding and low-profile decorative walls using fieldstone, granite, and natural ledge that blend with your existing landscape. Homeowners in Hanson, Pembroke, and across the South Shore appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into every stone placement.
Decorative walls can be combined with walkways, steps, and planting beds to create a cohesive landscape design. Your MAC team coordinates all elements so the finished project looks intentional and polished from every angle.

DRAINAGE & GRADING
Proper drainage is the hidden backbone of every successful retaining wall. Without it, hydrostatic pressure builds behind the wall, leading to cracks, bulging, and eventual failure. MAC Excavation & Landscape installs perforated drain pipe, crushed stone backfill, and filter fabric behind every retaining wall to channel water away from the structure and protect your investment.
Yard grading services ensure surface water flows away from your home's foundation and doesn't pool behind walls. This comprehensive approach to drainage and grading is what separates a professional retaining wall installation from one that fails within a few seasons.

OUR PROCESS

Property Assessment
MAC Excavation & Landscape evaluates your site conditions, soil type, slope, and drainage needs to determine the right wall design for your property.
Design & Engineering
A custom wall plan is developed with proper footing depth, drainage provisions, and material selection to meet both structural and aesthetic goals.
Excavation & Base Work
Precise excavation creates a level foundation. Compacted gravel base and drainage stone are installed to support the wall and manage water runoff.
Wall Construction & Finishing
Each stone or block is carefully placed and backfilled. Drainage pipe, filter fabric, and cap stones complete a retaining wall built to perform for decades.
