The Poconos’ hillside terrain and freeze-thaw winters put real stress on retaining walls — poor drainage and rushed construction are the two most common reasons walls fail. Anderson Masonry has been building and repairing retaining walls throughout the region since 1984, using techniques suited to local soil, slope, and climate, not one-size-fits-all methods.
Built for the Poconos, Not Just Built to Look Good
A retaining wall’s job is structural first, decorative second. We design every wall with proper base preparation, drainage, and batter (the slight backward lean that keeps a wall stable over time) so it holds up through decades of freezing, thawing, and heavy rain — not just the first few seasons.
