Retaining Wall Installation in Poughkeepsie
Expert Retaining Wall Installation services for homeowners in Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County, NY. Licensed, insured, and dedicated to transforming outdoor spaces.
Why Choose Cruger Contracting for Retaining Wall Installation in Poughkeepsie
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 Poughkeepsie — 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 Poughkeepsie, 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.

Previous Landscaping Projects Involving Retaining Wall Installation
What Clients Say..
They were very fair price wise. Very honest. Cleaned up after themselves, finished the work in a decent amount of time, and kept their word on everything they said they would provide. The best part was no hidden costs. I am very grateful—my home looks beautiful!
Minerva A.
James was very professional and guided us through the install process. He was able to suggest design ideas, what would be most cost effective, and what plants would work best for the look we wanted. I highly recommend him and his team who worked through a heavy downpour of rain until the job was completed.
Adam O.
We are hiring Cruger Contracting again. James the owner was great and offered lots of good advice. I would recommend him to anyone asking for help with anything lawn or landscaping related.
Tara W.
Very professional and responsive. Reasonable cost for the work done.
Cheryl T.
I contacted Cruger Contracting about grading my backyard up to the back of my shed because there was originally a steep drop off. James came over and checked it out and got a quote to me within 24 hours that was very reasonable. When the weather broke a couple weeks later he came over and had the job done over the weekend. Even might come back in April to hydroseed it. 10/10 would recommend. Great communication and timely.
