Washington DC Retaining Walls
​
Let's face it: Washington DC retaining walls are falling apart all over the city. It's no surprise, as the masonry retaining walls were built in some cases one hundred years ago with brick or stone and mortar that is certainly out of date today. Before the retaining wall collapses on the sidewalk and becomes a problem with the city, be proactive and hire a retaining wall contractor like Ruda Masonry to fix your retaining wall.​

​Retaining Wall Contractor
Retaining walls are versatile and you have many options. Often, masonry contractors will build an interior course of CMU cinder block threaded over rebar in order to create the strongest possible retaining wall. Then a decorative outside layer of brick, stone, or veneer can be placed over the cinder block. Other times, retaining wall block can be built at an angle or even cantilevered for maximum strength. Don't forget to ask us about retaining wall block systems sold by local retailers.
