Concrete & Masonry
Built to Hold the Mountain
Steep lots, rocky ground, and hard winters call for a different approach. Woody's Concrete and Masonry Construction builds retaining walls, foundations, footings and patios engineered for the terrain around Mount Pocono, Stroudsburg, Tobyhanna and Hawley.
Mind the Mountain Building Season
Concrete needs stable temperatures to cure right, which narrows the pour season at elevation to roughly spring through fall. Between weather-dependent scheduling and limited-access lake and cabin lots, Pocono projects fill up faster than you'd expect — homeowners who call ahead of the season get first pick of dates.
Why the Poconos Trust Woody's
Mountain terrain punishes shortcuts. Everything from how deep we dig to when we schedule a pour is built around the way this region actually behaves.
Mountain & Slope Experience
Steep grades and rocky ground are the norm here, not the exception — our excavation and wall-building work with the terrain instead of fighting it.
Seasonal Scheduling Know-How
We plan around the short mountain pour season so your project starts and cures on solid, weather-appropriate timing.
Frost-Depth Engineered Footings
Footings are checked against township requirements for your elevation, not just poured to a generic valley depth.
Licensed PA Contractor
The same licensed crew that serves the Lehigh Valley, bringing that standard of work up the mountain.
Services for Mountain & Lakefront Properties
Retaining walls lead the list up here for a reason — but here's everything we pour across the Poconos.
Retaining Walls
The backbone of building on a mountain lot — engineered walls that hold back slope, stop erosion, and create level, usable ground.
Foundations
Foundation walls for cabins, additions and seasonal homes, poured to handle the frost cycles that come with elevation.
Concrete Footings
Footings sized and depth-checked for mountain frost lines, so decks, porches and additions stay solid through hard winters.
Excavation
Steep, wooded, rocky lots need careful excavation. We grade and dig with the terrain, not against it.
Patios
Concrete patios built to take in the mountain view, poured with the drainage a sloped lot demands.
Sidewalks & Walkways
Walkways that stay sure-footed through wet leaves, snowmelt, and everything a Pocono season brings.
Porches
Concrete porch pads and steps for cabins and mountain homes, from a simple stoop to a full covered entry.
Retaining Walls That Actually Hold
A retaining wall on a Pocono lot is doing real structural work — holding back saturated soil on a slope, protecting a foundation below it, or turning an unusable hillside into a level yard. We grade the site, build in proper drainage behind the wall so hydrostatic pressure doesn't push it out over time, and choose segmental block or poured concrete based on the grade.
This isn't decorative garden edging — it's engineered for what a Pocono winter and spring thaw put a hillside through.
From First Call to Finished Pour
Site Walk & Estimate
We walk the property with you — slope, access, tree line — and give a free written quote based on what we see.
Season & Access Planning
We schedule around the mountain's weather window and plan equipment access for tighter cabin and lake lots.
Excavation & Drainage
Grading, drainage planning, and forming happen before any concrete touches the ground.
Pour, Cure & Walkthrough
We pour to depth and spec, then walk the finished work with you and cover cure-time care.
