Retaining walls are one of the most common masonry projects in the Duluth area, where hilly terrain, lakefront slopes, and erosion-prone soil create real structural challenges. North Shore Concrete & Masonry designs and builds retaining walls that hold — through spring runoff, heavy rain, and years of freeze-thaw cycles.
We build retaining walls using natural stone, concrete block, poured concrete, and segmental wall systems depending on the height, load, and aesthetic you need. Every wall includes proper drainage, compacted backfill, and footings sized for the job. For walls over four feet, we coordinate engineering and permitting as needed.
Whether you need a structural wall to stabilize a slope, a tiered garden wall, or a seawall along Lake Superior shoreline property, we will evaluate your site and provide a detailed estimate.

Thank you Josh and the North Shore Masonry crew! I had so many questions before starting a retaining wall project at my home. Communication was great throughout and I always felt like I understood what to expect. The team answered all of my questions, gave recommendations specific to my project, and talked through options while getting my input along the way. The crew was right on schedule with what was communicated to me and made the whole experience stress free. Really happy with the final result and would absolutely work with the North Shore Masonry team again in the future. See more See less
working with Josh and his crew at Lake View Hospital was a great experience. They showed up when they said they were going to and got right to work. The attention to detail in the concrete finishing work for the two sets of stairs they created for us along with an access ramp was more than I could of asked for. Look forward to working with you again in the future. See more See less

I would recommend them to anyone who needs concrete work. They are a very talented and creative team! See more See less
Had a great experience working with North Shore Concrete. Josh and crew did a killer job on the site prep and concrete for my garage. 6 Years later it still looks great. No cracking and still slopes water to the drain nicely. See more See less

Josh and his crew really impressed us with their level of commitment. They worked long amd hard and were attentive not only to details of the project steps, but to perfecting the outcome. For example, the laying of the heat tubing was as precise as they could get it. They were personable to us when we asked questions, but also were attentive to good use of their time so that the project could be done efficiently. My parents remarked what a hard working and dedicated crew they were. The garage slab turned out wonderful. See more See less

I worked with Josh from North Shore Concrete on a significant tear out and re-pour on several dock door aprons and rebuild on 3 concrete exterior retaining walls at our commercial building in Duluth. Josh was a great communicator throughout the planning and construction process. He came in on budget and in the time frame he initially promised. Josh also gave us options to improve the existing layout and when completed the changes did help with our warehouse operations. He also worked with us to do the work in stages to allow us to have dock doors available at all times to keep our operation running every day. I would highly recommend Josh and North Shore Concrete for your concrete needs. See more See less

Josh has done an apron in front of my garage and a patio at my current place. They both turned out great. Hopefully he'll be doing the slab at our new place when we build in the spring. Could not recommend him and his crew more! See more See less
