Retaining Walls That Hold Up to Michigan Weather
A retaining wall does more than shape your yard — it holds back soil, controls drainage, and protects your home's foundation. Our brick and stone masonry retaining walls are engineered to stay strong through decades of freeze-thaw cycles.
Real Masonry, Not Stacked Blocks
Anyone can stack landscape blocks. We build true masonry retaining walls using natural stone, brick, and reinforced construction — walls that look beautiful today and still stand straight in 30 years.

Trusted by Michigan Homeowners
Hear from clients whose properties are protected and elevated by our masonry retaining walls.
Lonik rebuilt our chimney and tuckpointed the entire side of the house. Crew was on time, clean, and the work looks fantastic.
We've used Lonik for multiple commercial properties. Honest quotes, quality masonry, and they stand behind their work every single time.
From the free consultation to final cleanup, every step was professional. Our brick porch has never looked better.
They restored our 1920s brick façade beautifully — matched the mortar color perfectly and you can't tell where new meets old.
Fair pricing, no surprises, and the crew treated our storefront like it was their own. Highly recommend Lonik to any local business.
Our paver patio turned out incredible. The team was responsive, easy to work with, and finished exactly on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about brick and stone retaining walls in Metro Detroit.
How much does a retaining wall cost in Michigan?
Masonry retaining walls in Metro Detroit typically run $40–$90 per square foot of wall face, depending on material (natural stone vs. brick), height, drainage requirements, and site access. Walls over 4 feet often require engineered drawings, which we handle for you.
Do I need a permit for a retaining wall?
Most Michigan municipalities require a building permit for retaining walls over 4 feet tall or walls that support a driveway or structure. We pull permits and coordinate with your local building department on any wall that needs one.
What's the difference between a masonry retaining wall and stacked landscape blocks?
Landscape blocks are dry-stacked and rely on gravity — they shift, lean, and rarely last more than 10–15 years. Our masonry retaining walls use a reinforced footing, drainage aggregate, weep holes, and mortared brick or stone, so they stay plumb for decades.
How long does it take to build a retaining wall?
Most residential retaining walls take 1–3 weeks depending on length, height, and excavation. Complex projects with tiered walls or grading changes can take longer. We give you a clear timeline before we start.
Can you repair a leaning or failing retaining wall?
Yes. We assess whether it's a drainage failure, footing issue, or wall bulge, and either reset sections, tuckpoint joints, or rebuild the wall in place. A proper repair almost always costs less than waiting for full collapse.
