✅ Landscaping with Belgian Block Retaining & Radius Walls — Long Island & NYC

At MJG Contracting Corp., we bring architectural character to landscapes using Belgian Block and radius retaining walls, expertly built on engineered concrete footings. Whether in Northport, Huntington, or further across Long Island, our walls marry visual elegance with soil retention, structural stability, and water management.


🌿 Project Highlight: Northport & Huntington Block Walls

Our Belgian Block walls in Northport and Huntington seamlessly integrate with manicured landscapes, allowing natural elements to shine. These radius walls guide sightlines and define spaces—each course laid to flow smoothly with the terrain. Every wall is anchored by a code‑compliant concrete footing to prevent shifting and ensure long-term alignment.


🧱 Why Belgian Block & Radius Walls?

  • Timeless Elegance & Durability
    Belgian Block (often granite setts) boasts weather resistance and visual appeal that lasts for decades—and it’s naturally permeable to reduce stormwater runoff.

  • Curved (Radius) Designs for Flow & Flair
    Radius walls soften transitions, establish fluid boundaries, and elevate visual design through purposeful geometry and landscaping rhythm.
