Benefits

Retaining walls aren’t just for looks. They solve real problems in your yard by controlling erosion, adding usable space, and supporting changes in elevation. A well-built wall brings strength, structure, and lasting beauty to your landscape.

Our Retaining Wall Services

We build custom retaining walls that solve real problems and add lasting beauty to your property.

Garden Retaining Walls

Perfect for raised flower beds or defining landscape edges, these walls add charm, structure, and separation without overwhelming your outdoor space.

Stone Wall Construction

From classic fieldstone to bluestone and other natural materials, our stone walls bring timeless character and warmth to any yard or patio.

Retaining Walls with Steps

When elevation changes are part of the design, we seamlessly integrate steps into your retaining walls to improve access and flow while keeping the look clean and cohesive.

Structural Retaining Walls

For larger slopes or areas needing strong support, we build engineered retaining walls with the durability and stability to handle heavy loads and changing soil conditions.

Used Ed and his company for 15 years. He and his team are outstanding. A plus in every way for Marcus for construction to Lou for tree and landscaping to Cathy in office plus all his employees they are the best. Ed always gets involved if needed and always gets back to you. He makes sure the job is 100 percent correct and any issues while rate are corrected. Always available to his clients. And his prices are very reasonable. Wtih Sage and crew you know job will be timely and 100% done right. If I could give 10 stars I would. Issues if any are few and far between and Ed or his crew always solve it. Plus his reputation in the area is second to none.

Sage is always my first choice for landscaping and tree work. They are extremely responsible professional and have great attention to detail. They also stand by their work. I had a couple of shrubs die over the winter and they agreed to replace them without issue since they care about delivering great value to their customers. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing experience with Sage. We raised our yard and expanded an acre of it with fill dirt, then Sage came, leveled it and planted grass. The men worked so efficiently and their work was beautiful. It has only been 8 days and we have so much grass growing already! Ed the owner, was so helpful and so knowledgeable on how we needed to water it to ensure maximum growth. We are so happy and excited to be able to enjoy our new beautiful yard! Worth every penny!

Highly recommend Ed Sage and his team! We had a broken underground pipe that needed immediate repair and Ed came out with one day's notice, and sent a crew to start the work the very next day. Not only did the crew do an incredible job, but Ed assisted with permits from the town, and also our home insurance claim. From start to finish, the process was seamless and there was always an open line of communication. Five stars across the board. We will absolutely recommend Sage Landscaping to all of our neighbors and friends in the future.

Great work. Efficient, and perfectionist. Always gives great advice. Maybe a little more expensive than competitors, but have tried competing companies and I always come back to Ed and his crew. It’s true you get what you pay for.

Ed Sage and Sage Landscape have been our #1 go to landscaping contractors for nearly 30 years. We worked with Ed, Marcus, Lou and their crews on two different residential properties in Union County. They provided all hard scape infrastructures (retaining walls, intricate drainage systems, patios, walkways, pool surround, waterfall etc), our tree maintenance and our plant materials. We’ve been in our current home more than 20 years and all of the work completed by Sage has lasted and matured beautifully. The crews are very responsive and many of them have been working on our property for multiple years. Sage also assisted with emergency basement flooding, in a time of need. We would highly recommend them.

I hired Sage Landscaping after meeting several different contractors regarding significant flooding and water issues in my yard. They had the combination of expertise and remediation methods that we needed, and they have been amazing through the ongoing process of remediating our property. Ed Sage immediately went to bat for us during the very difficult permitting process and has expertly and professionally dealt with each challenge. He has been super responsive to our needs and concerns, and is always available to help. The work that they have done so far has been quick, done well and cleaned up after meticulously. We highly recommend Sage Landscaping!

I have been using Sage for over 20 years and have never been disappointed. They maintain my lawn and landscaping as well as the fall and winter cleanups. It also helps that Ed is a certified tree expert in New Jersey. My property is surrounded by large oaks, he comes out yearly to check on them and then recommends pruning if necessary. This year he pointed out two dead ones I had missed that were close to the house, so I was able to have them removed before they could cause damage. I highly recommend Sage.

We have been using Sage Landscape for nearly 20 years and have never been disappointed! The quality of the work and professionalism of the team is fantastic! We've had some challenging issues over the years to deal with (e.g. flooding and downed trees) and Ed and his team were able to address each one without any problems afterwards. Definitely recommend Sage!

What to Look for When Hiring Retaining Wall Contractors

Not all retaining wall contractors are created equal. Choosing the right company can make the difference between a wall that lasts decades and one that fails after a few years.

When searching for retaining wall contractors near me, consider the following:

Experience with New Jersey Properties

New Jersey’s varied terrain, weather conditions, and soil types require local expertise. Choose contractors familiar with regional construction practices and drainage requirements.

Proper Drainage Planning

Many retaining wall failures occur because of poor drainage. A professional contractor should incorporate drainage systems that relieve hydrostatic pressure behind the wall.

Quality Materials

The longevity of a retaining wall depends heavily on the materials used. Ask about the products, manufacturers, and installation methods being utilized.

Licensed and Insured Professionals

Always work with a company that is properly licensed and insured to protect your investment.

Strong Local Reputation

Read reviews, ask for project photos, and choose a company with a proven track record of satisfied customers.
