FAQ: retaining wall Construction
1.Can a retaining wall make my backyard usable if it’s extremely sloped?
Yes, many homes in North Haledon and Hawthorne are built on hills. A properly engineered wall can create flat, functional space for patios, grass, or play areas.
2. Are stone walls a good match for older Hawthorne homes?
Absolutely. Natural stone blends beautifully with classic homes, especially near Goffle Brook Park.
3. How do you prevent walls from shifting over time?
We use deep bases, compacted gravel, geo-grid layers, and a full drainage system to keep the wall stable through freeze-thaw cycles.
4. Can retaining walls help with water problems after heavy rain?
Yes — walls with integrated drainage control runoff and help keep water away from homes and basements.
5. Do I need steps with my wall?
Most hillside properties do. We install bluestone or precast steps for safe movement between levels.
6. Can you replace my old wooden wall with stone or block?
Yes — we remove old timber walls and rebuild with stronger, long-lasting materials.
7. How long do natural stone walls last?
With proper drainage, natural stone walls can last 40–75 years or more.
8. What Areas do you serve?
We provide services for wall construction in Hathorne, north haledon, Wayne, Ringwood and all of Passaic county

We hired RVG to tidy up our property and make some improvements to the garden beds. They did a great job from start to finish. Their attention to detail, and expedience in managing the projects we requested were extraordinary!Posted on Nicholas RagbirTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic Experience! the level of professional and honesty is something we don't see these days. The guys showed up earlier than expected and completed the job in 1 day! We would certainly use them again for any future Landscaping needs.Posted on Jarvis RoqueTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The exterior of our house looked so decrepit that it would make one question if anyone even lived here. Then, along came Pedro and RVG. On day one, the team cleaned up the property thoroughly and discarded miscellaneous debris that had been an eyesore for years. On day two, RVG removed the old "grass," leveled the area with fresh topsoil, and installed beautiful new sod. It's now a joy for me to look outside and I actually find myself excited to invite friends & family over more often. Moreover, our toddler can now run around the yard safely! Pedro and Carlos and the whole team all worked quickly, respectfully, and efficiently. I can't speak highly enough of RVG Landscaping. Top notch work and they do go above and beyond. Highly recommend!Posted on Robert A.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend RVG. Carlo was great to work with and he and his crew did an amazing job with our garden project. Their price was actually reasonable in comparison to others (not even in the same ball park) and although we didn’t have a huge job to be completed, RVG treated us like we did. I would strongly encourage you to give RVG a call. You won’t be dissapointed.
