We Build Boulder Retaining Walls
We are your Massachusetts retaining wall specialists!
Are you looking for a natural way to hold back a slope on your property and/or prevent erosion? There are thousands of properties in our area that don't have absolutely flat topography. The most natural looking solution to this common problem is the construction of a boulder retaining wall.
Why Do You Need A Boulder Retaining Wall?
- Do you have an existing retaining wall that has failed?
- Do you have a sloped property and you want to prevent erosion?
- Do you love the natural look of a boulder wall?
Environments By Design is a local excavation and landscape construction company based out of Bolton, MA and serving the surrounding areas. We specialize in designing and building boulder walls for property owners looking to landscape their naturally sloped property. From a 30′ foot long small boulder wall to surround some garden beds to larger, more complicated, stacked or tiered boulder retaining walls, we can help. The team at Environments By Design will be able to provide you with a boulder wall solution that will compliment your specific property.
We work with local quarries and landscape suppliers and we can source a variety of boulders in varying shapes and sizes. We have the heavy equipment necessary to move and place the boulders for your wall.
How Our Boulder Wall Construction Process Works
When building a boulder on your property that is designed to hold back soil and earth from erosion there is very little margin for error so when required we work directly with engineers if your wall is over 4 feet in height. Smaller boulder walls do not have this same requirement.
- We start with our initial consultation.
- We determine the size of boulder wall you need.
- We determine the height of the wall and if a building permit or engineer will be required.
- We take into account any additional features such as stairs, water features, lighting, and more.
- We take into account any surcharges (weight) the wall might be exposed to (such as a parking area above the wall or other heavy loads)
- We’ll provide you with an accurate written estimate for the work.
The amount of work required to build a boulder wall can vary widely from project to project. The slope of your property, the amount of earth your retaining wall must hold back, the size of the boulders we're using and the overall accessibility of your property will all contribute to the final cost. We’ll be able to offer you an accurate estimate only after a site visit.

What Our Customers Say...
Dominic has a unique and diverse array of skills to help solve drainage problems. We had a drainage issue in our driveway that was causing water to back up into our garage. We needed to create a new drain to divert water to the back of the property as the existing one was incapable of handling heavy loads of water. Despite having several obstacles in our way, involving well water lines, cable lines and asphalt pavement, Dominic was willing to take on the task and brought speciality tools needed to get the job done. I was impressed with his skills and ability to operate excavators/heavy equipment. Dominic was a great communicator throughout the process and it was a pleasure working with him. He has a strong work ethic and was able to overcome all obstacles in his way to make the project a success. Thank you Dominic and the Environments by Design team!
Dominic is a great person to do business with. He is helping us keeping our drive way clean during the winter time for the last two years. I am planning to work with him for the other services his company provides.

Dominic removed a double fence for us. A true professional, he works quickly and meticulously. He also makes sure he cleans up, leaving your yard neat and clean. In addition to the fence, he dug up some very heavy stones for us and stacked them beautifully to be put back in the ground later, after we have our well drilled. He's a pleasure to work with as well. I highly recommend Dominic!
Dominic saw my request on NextDoor and kindly helped us out with an urgent need. He acquired a bobcat to help us prepare the site of a new shed, and did a lot of extra things to make the area look nice. He really did a great job and was very prompt and responsive. I'll be calling him the next time I need any landscaping help!
Dom has been so great to work with. He's been plowing for us for a couple years now. He is always on time and very thorough. He also recently helped us with some heavy brush removal from our backyard. Great prices, very professional, and goes the extra mile. Looking forward to working with Dom again soon!
Dom and his company environments by design performed excavation for my new home and now they provide landscaping and snow plow services at a great price. Highly recommend!
