Professional retaining walls for Kensington homeowners. Great Neck village, well-maintained residential community
Kensington is an incorporated village within the Great Neck area, where well-maintained residential streets and a polished community character create demand for hardscaping that is both functional and aesthetically refined. Brothers Paving & Masonry builds retaining walls throughout Kensington that bring structure and definition to the village's residential landscapes — garden walls that create defined planting areas, border walls that establish clean property boundaries, and decorative walls that add architectural interest to front yards and backyard entertaining spaces.
While Kensington's terrain is generally moderate compared to the more dramatic North Shore communities, the grade variations typical of the Great Neck area still create practical applications for retaining walls. Properties where the lawn sits slightly above a driveway benefit from a border wall that prevents soil migration. Backyards with gentle slopes become more usable with a terrace wall that creates a level area for a patio or garden. Front yards gain curb appeal with garden walls that frame plantings and define the landscape.
We build retaining walls in Kensington using materials that complement the village's well-kept residential character. Cambridge and Nicolock block systems offer clean, structured aesthetics with reliable structural performance. Natural fieldstone provides a more traditional look that fits well in the Great Neck corridor. Cap options include natural bluestone, limestone, and granite — all selected for their durability and refined appearance. Every wall includes the full construction package: compacted footing, drainage provisions, and quality craftsmanship from start to finish.
Kensington homeowners invest in retaining walls that enhance both the functionality and appearance of their properties. In a village where community pride is reflected in well-maintained homes and manicured landscapes, a quality retaining wall is a visible statement of care and investment. Brothers Paving & Masonry builds walls that meet Kensington's standards — clean construction, premium materials, and results that look professional from day one and remain that way for decades.
Our most popular retaining wall projects in Kensington include garden walls that create raised planting beds along driveways, walkways, and property borders. These walls give landscapes a structured, intentional appearance while solving practical issues like soil erosion and mulch migration. Decorative border walls along property lines provide permanent, maintenance-free boundaries that look far more refined than fencing or hedging alone.
For homeowners looking to expand their outdoor living potential, terrace walls and seating walls convert gentle backyard slopes into functional spaces. A terrace wall creates a flat zone for a patio, dining area, or fire feature. A seating wall along a patio edge provides built-in seating for entertaining while defining the outdoor room. These features add significant value to Kensington properties, where outdoor living space is increasingly prized.
We provide free on-site consultations for all Kensington retaining wall projects. Our team evaluates the grade, soil, and drainage conditions at your property and delivers a detailed written estimate with material options and a clear construction timeline.

Learn MoreKensington is an incorporated village within the Great Neck area, with its own building department that administers permit requirements. Retaining walls exceeding 4 feet in exposed height require a building permit and engineered drawings. The village's generally moderate terrain means most garden and decorative walls fall below the permit threshold, though larger backyard terrace projects may require permitting. We evaluate each project's requirements and handle all necessary permits and inspections.
Real projects we've completed for Kensington homeowners.
Built a Cambridge Olde English garden wall to create a raised planting bed along the front of a Colonial home. The 20-inch wall defines the landscape border between the front lawn and the driveway, with a bluestone cap that matches the home's existing front stoop. Integrated LED landscape lighting illuminates the plantings and walkway at night.
Scope: 35 linear feet, 20-inch height, Cambridge block, bluestone cap, LED landscape lighting
Installed a natural fieldstone terrace wall to create a level area for a small paver patio, plus a curved fieldstone seating wall around a fire pit. The terrace wall retains a 28-inch grade change, and the seating wall provides comfortable built-in seating for 8 guests. Both walls feature limestone caps. The project transformed a gently sloped backyard into an inviting outdoor gathering space.
Scope: 38 linear feet terrace wall + 22 linear feet seating wall, fieldstone, limestone caps, fire pit integration
