Fencing, Patios & Retaining Walls in Montclair, NJ
Montclair sits on the slope of the First Watchung Mountain, so backyards here often climb or drop away fast — retaining walls do a lot of the work before a patio is even possible. We build walls that hold the grade and patios that give a hillside yard a flat place to sit. Fence styles are matched to the older homes they go with.
Built for the Hillside Lot
On the slope of the First Watchung Mountain, a flat backyard is the exception, not the rule. We build the retaining wall first, sized to actually hold the grade, then lay the patio on solid, level ground behind it. It's the difference between a patio that lasts and one that starts shifting the first wet season.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a retaining wall before I can put in a patio?
Often, yes. On Montclair's hillside lots, there usually isn't a flat, stable area for a patio until a retaining wall holds back the grade. We assess the slope during the estimate and let you know if a wall needs to come first.
Can you match a fence style to an older home?
Yes. Montclair has a lot of older housing stock, and we choose fence materials and styles that fit the character of the house rather than a generic layout that looks out of place.
How steep does my yard need to be for a wall to matter?
More often than not, if you're noticing the slope at all, it's worth having us take a look. Even a moderate grade change can undermine a patio over time if it isn't held back properly.
How much does a fence, patio, or retaining wall cost in Montclair?
Cost depends on the size of the project, the grade of the site, and the materials you choose. We provide a written quote after walking the property in person, not a ballpark number over the phone.
