Retaining Walls
A retaining wall does real work — holding back grade, controlling water and protecting shoreline — and it should look good doing it. Ken Bruce Construction builds boulder and segmental block retaining walls throughout New Hampshire and southern Maine.
Boulder & Fieldstone Walls
Natural boulder and fieldstone walls are a New England staple — durable, timeless, and right at home on lakefront and wooded properties. We source and set stone to build walls that look like they've always belonged there while doing the structural job of holding grade.
Segmental Block Walls
For a clean, engineered look, we build segmental block retaining walls — the interlocking block systems you can see in our project photos. These go up fast, stack true, and are ideal where you need a consistent, finished appearance and reliable grade retention.
Built for Shoreline, Slopes & Landscaping
We build retaining walls for a range of purposes:
- Lakefront and shoreline stabilization
- Grade and slope control
- Landscaping and aesthetic terracing
Every wall is built with proper base preparation and drainage — the parts you don't see that determine whether a wall lasts for decades or fails in a few winters.
