"Great! We had a positive experience with the installation of our hardscape and landscaping. We highly recommend Luis Mendoza and his crew. They were on time, hard working and flexible. When I requested changes during the process Luis was happy to accommodate. We are very pleased with our yard. We would definitely hire Luis Mendoza again. Give Luis a call at 520 333 0164."

"L& M was referred to us by our remodel contractor. Another landscape contractor had started work mid summer but had not completed by late October. Paver work completed was substandard. L & M stepped in at a fair price, redoing pavers and installing lighting and extending main irrigation. Responsive, capable, a pleasure to have around our property. Beautiful work. The best!"

"Sergio was great to work with! I have an old adobe house and had some bricks that needed to be patched/repaired. He came out and gave me a fair quote right away and then scheduled the work. He did a great job and was so nice throughout the process. He then came back after he was finished to touch up a few areas. I will definitely call him again when I need this kind of work."

"The work was completed quickly with great attention to detail. They communicated well as one day they had to leave early to attend to a sick child. All throughout they communicated about options and alternatives when unexpected circumstances arose. Overall outstanding workmanship and professionalism. They truly wanted us to be happy with the project and we are. Have already had positive responses from neighbors who have seen the pavers. Highly recommended and I will call them back when I am ready to install artificial turf."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Rebar is a steel support that goes inside concrete to prevent structural damage over time. Concrete is susceptible to impact, weight, and tension. By inserting rebar into the concrete during the installation, you can help extend its lifespan and avoid hazardous situations where the foundation of your home gives way to tensile forces.

Most railroad tie retaining walls have a life span of 20 to 30 years, though you may need to replace your wall sooner if it’s repeatedly exposed to heavy rain, runoff, and excess moisture. Railroad ties are typically treated with creosote, which makes them much more durable than untreated wood. Though they last longer, they don’t last forever. For the most longevity, make sure your retaining wall has a sturdy base and steel reinforcements. You should also install drainage to direct water away from the wall.

Installation typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the wall’s size and site conditions.

Poured concrete is often the cheapest material for a retaining wall, costing around $6 to $8 per square foot. Other budget-friendly options include vinyl and landscaping timbers, which range from $10 to $15 per square foot; landscaping timbers are particularly well-suited for DIY projects. Untreated timber and railroad ties are a step up in price, starting at $15 to $25 per square foot. Natural stones can also be a cost-effective choice if you can source them from your own property, but they can be expensive to purchase. High-end materials like steel are typically the most expensive but offer superior durability and aesthetics.

Generally speaking, a retaining wall should be between 3 and 4 feet high, depending on variables such as the wall-building material, the purpose of the retaining wall, and more. If you want your retaining wall to be taller than 4 feet, check with your local building ordinance office for the maximum allotment. You may also need a special permit for retaining walls over 4 feet tall.
