Whether you’re dealing with sloped terrain or looking to elevate your landscape design, a professionally built retaining wall is both a practical and aesthetic solution. At Workman Masonry, we’ve been building strong, beautiful retaining walls in Mill Hall, PA, and nearby areas for over 30 years.
Our team specializes in functional and decorative retaining wall construction using
concrete blocks, stone, and brick. Whether it’s to hold back soil, prevent erosion, or create multi-level outdoor spaces, we deliver structures that last — and look great doing it.
Types of Retaining Walls We Build
- Block Retaining Walls- Durable and budget-friendly, concrete block walls are ideal for residential and commercial applications.
- Natural Stone Retaining Walls- For a more rustic or upscale aesthetic, fieldstone or bluestone walls blend seamlessly with landscaping.
- Brick Retaining Walls- Timeless and structured, brick retaining walls work well in traditional or historic settings.
- Tiered or Multi-Level Walls- Need more dimension? We design tiered retaining walls that offer functionality and visual interest.
- Drainage-Integrated Walls- Proper drainage is key to wall longevity. We incorporate
drain pipes, gravel, and weep holes into every build.
Benefits of a Retaining Wall
Retaining walls offer more than support — they transform outdoor spaces:
- Prevents soil erosion and water runoff
- Maximizes usable yard space
- Improves structural support on sloped land
- Enhances property appearance and value

From hillside stabilization to raised garden beds, we build walls that are as tough as they are attractive.
