Stone Walls in Jamaica

Walls Built to Hold and Built to Last

Most of what you add to a yard fades or needs replacing. A well-built stone wall doesn’t — it holds a slope, defines a space, and looks better with age. Whether it’s a low garden wall framing your beds or a structural retaining wall holding back a hillside, a wall gives your property permanent structure and stands up to years of New England weather.


Greenstar Tree brings the same care and craftsmanship to stonework that we’ve brought to tree care in Jamaica Plain since 1996. As a family-owned business, we build walls that suit your property and last — and it all starts below the surface. We lay a proper base with drainage, because that’s what separates a wall that stands for decades from one that leans and fails in a few winters. And because we’re a full tree and outdoor company, we can build your wall as one part of a larger project, clearing and finishing the landscape around it with one trusted local crew.

Benefits of Professional Stone Walls


A well-built wall delivers lasting value in more ways than one:

Adds Lasting Structure – A stone wall brings permanent shape and definition to your landscape.

Controls Slopes & Erosion – Retaining walls hold back soil and manage water flow, turning difficult slopes into usable, stable space.

Built to Last – On a solid base, a wall stands up to weather and New England winters for decades.

Creates Usable Space – A retaining wall can level out a sloped yard, creating flat, usable ground for planting or living space.

Requires Little Maintenance – A well-built stone wall needs minimal upkeep to keep looking great.

What a Stone Wall Costs in Jamaica Plain

Stone wall costs depend on the length and height of the wall, whether it’s decorative or structural, the stone you choose, and the site conditions. A short garden border is a smaller job; a tall structural retaining wall takes more material, more base work, and more time.


That’s why we give free, no-obligation estimates after we’ve seen the site, rather than a rough number over the phone. We’ll talk through your vision and give you a clear quote covering the stone, base preparation, drainage, the build, and the cleanup. We don’t cut corners on the foundation, so the wall lasts.

Tree Removal

“I have used Ben and his team for two projects: 1. a major tree removal off Boylston St. and 2. significant pruning of Maple trees over my house and over my neighbors houses. I found Ben and his team to be very professional and I like knowing I am supporting a local JP area business. Ben is very open and honest and provides options when issues arise. Overall, I found Greenstar Tree and Ben to be very knowledgeable about their craft, friendly and open and value driven. I thought they did a great job!”

Erick K.

Pruning & Trimming

“Ben and Will went above and beyond what I expected! Living in south boston i thought it was gonna be impossible to prune the tree in the back of my property due to the closed in nature of my house. It was amazing to see what they could do and how they managed to accomplish so much within such a confined area. I would give Greenstar tree 10 stars if possible and will be recommending them to all my neighbors here in southie! Thanks again Ben!”

Jeffrey F.

Cabling & Bracing

“Ben and Noah did amazing work at a fair price. I had multiple very tall trees in hard-to-access locations and on top of power lines that they trimmed back from my roof and siding. They were kind and professional and made sure to explain the work they would do and any advice on how to handle each of the trees in the future. I highly recommend and will be using Greenstar’s services moving forward.”

Nick M.

Tree Removal

“I had a great experience with Green Star Tree out of Jamaica Plain. Ben was able to schedule me almost immediately after our initial conversation for a tree that had fallen in my driveway onto two vehicles.
He was professional, efficient, and very reasonably priced. Ben went above and beyond, and Will was also fantastic—kind, helpful, and just as dedicated to getting the job done right.
They did an excellent job, and I will definitely be hiring them again for future work. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of reliable tree work.

Deniqua L.

Pruning & Trimming

“I love working with Ben because he is super easy to deal with, wicked honest, and just an all around happy guy. He’s the most experienced tree guy I have ever met who is still working hard out there and I’ve been in the landscaping and tree industry for twenty six years myself !”

Andrew B.

Cabling & Bracing

“Ben and Bertram did a wonderful job for us. The hard to reach branches of our oak were expertly pruned and our very large dead cherry was removed. All the wood was hauled away and they left our yard in grade a condition. Also, Ben took the time to explain why he pruned in the manner he did. His expertise was very helpful throughout.”

Makeit G.

Pruning & Trimming

“Greenstar tree did an excellent job pruning several trees in my yard including my beloved red bud. Ben and his crew are incredibly hard working. They took great care to protect my perennial garden and offered excellent advice on what should be pruned, removed, and maintained. We are very pleased.”

Kate C.

Cabling & Bracing

Five Stars! The Greenstar team offers high-quality, highly responsive, expert and professional services. We have towering hemlocks in our backyard and love how they make our yard feel like a secret garden. Ben was highly knowledgeable and took great care to balance the need to prune for vigorous health and preserve tree cover in the canopy. He also expertly tackled some other trees that have grown sideways over the years. Ben is a true pro! We felt our trees were in great hands and highly recommend Greenstar.

How much does a stone wall cost?

It depends on the length, height, and type of wall, plus the stone you choose. We offer free, personalized estimates — contact us today for a no-obligation quote.

What’s the difference between a decorative and a retaining wall?

A decorative wall adds beauty and defines spaces, while a retaining wall is structural — it holds back soil and manages slopes. We build both and can advise on which your property needs.

Will my retaining wall hold up over time?

Yes — when it’s built right. We prepare a solid base with proper drainage, which is what keeps a wall stable and lasting through the years and our winters.

Can you match the stone to my property?

Yes. During our on-site visit we’ll help you choose stone and a style that complements your home and landscape.

Can you build a wall as part of a bigger project?

Absolutely. As a full tree and outdoor company, we can build your wall alongside clearing, tree work, and finishing — all with one local crew.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Greenstar Tree is fully licensed and insured for your protection on every job.

Why should I choose Greenstar Tree?

We’re committed to safe work, honest pricing, and reliable communication — delivering high-quality tree care that protects your property and improves your landscape.
