Masonry & Hardscaping in Avon, CT
Avon sits at the foot of Talcott Mountain, and plenty of Avon yards come with a slope. We build the retaining walls, steps and level patios that turn a hillside into a yard you can use.
Built for Avon's hillsides
A sloped yard is where good masonry earns its keep. A properly built retaining wall can turn a steep, unusable bank into a flat lawn or a patio, and a set of stone steps can make a hill safe to walk.
Every retaining wall we build is installed structurally, with separation fabric, perforated drain pipe and drain stone behind it, so water doesn't build up and push the wall over time. Taller walls may need a permit or an engineered design, and we'll tell you at the estimate if yours does.

Questions from Avon homeowners
Still have questions? Call us at (860) 837-0909 or email sales@avexmasonry.com.
Can you build a patio on a sloped yard?
Yes. We often pair a patio with a retaining wall or seat wall so the patio sits level, and we plan steps where the grade changes.
Why do retaining walls fail, and how do you prevent it?
Most failures come from water building up behind the wall. We install separation fabric, perforated drain pipe and drain stone behind every wall so the drainage keeps working.
How tall can a retaining wall be before it needs a permit?
It depends on the wall and the town's rules. Taller walls may need a permit or an engineered design. We'll look at your site and explain what's required at the free estimate.
