Retaining Wall Installation in Merritt Park
Expert Retaining Wall Installation services for homeowners in Merritt Park, Dutchess County, NY. Licensed, insured, and dedicated to transforming outdoor spaces.
Why Choose Cruger Contracting for Retaining Wall Installation in Merritt Park
A retaining wall fails for one of three reasons: poor drainage, weak base preparation, or the wrong materials for the site. We don’t allow any of those problems to happen. Retaining wall installation from Cruger Contracting LLC starts with a full evaluation of your terrain in Merritt Park — soil type, slope, water movement, load pressure, and the height needed to hold back the grade safely.
We examine how water naturally moves through your yard, identify pressure points, and determine the correct footing depth. Then we build the wall on a deep, compacted base with integrated drainage behind the structure, removing the hydrostatic pressure that causes most walls to fail.
Whether you want a decorative garden wall or a full structural retaining system to support a steep grade, we install block systems, natural stone, engineered wall units, and reinforced walls built to handle NY freeze–thaw cycles. Every wall is leveled, aligned, and backfilled properly — no shortcuts, no rushed compaction, no “hope it holds” building.
Most retaining wall installations in Merritt Park, Dutchess County are completed in 2–7 days depending on size, height, and site conditions. When we’re done, you get a wall that stays straight, drains correctly, and blends into your landscape as if it was always meant to be there.
Protect Your Patio!
Don’t let your patio start sliding like it’s breaking out of Alcatraz with a spoon. Once the dirt underneath starts washing out, it’s game over — the stone shifts, the cracks show, and next thing you know, the grill’s leaning like it’s seen some things. We build the wall that keeps it all locked in — solid, straight, and staying right where you paid for it to be.
Protect Your Garden!
Are you sick of your wife getting upset because “the rain came” and wiped out the garden again? Now everything’s floating down the yard, the plants are gone, and you get to hear about it for the next three months. We’ll build the wall that keeps the rain out, the soil in, and the wife happy!
Keep The Rocks In!
Aren’t you sick and tired of spending $1,500 on windows because every time you start the mower, you end up launching a rock straight through the house? Last week’s rain washed them out again, and now the wife’s on you — not just to mow, but to watch out for the damn rocks. We’ll build the wall that keeps those rocks in the yard and your sanity intact.

Bruce H.
This project was large at least in my dwelling place. Restructure of the brick work I put in over 15 years ago. I had weeds growing uncontrollably and starting to hurt my plants. Cruger took care of it and even saved some of my favorites. Cruger has shown pride in their work and were extremely kind and wanted to do the best they can to achieve it. I am extremely satisfied in the final product. They were very fair in their pricing and were happy to work with my budget. I can’t stop looking at it. It brings a lot of joy and gives me an opportunity to add what I feel like adding without a weed issue ever again. Give them a call and you’ll be happy you did.
Howard B.
James did a phenomenal job. He cleared a large bluestone planter, mulched and planted a beautiful variety of perennials. He planted new azalea bushes in 2 other locations and everything looks amazing. His work was meticulously done. We are very pleased with how everything turned out, and will be calling James Cruger LLC for future work. Highly recommended.
