"Will from WCD is a true professional who does a fantastic job. This is the 2nd time he completes a project at my house and I’ve been very happy both times. I had a wall built last time and this time I had a different wall reinforced. Highly recommend WCD for quality work performed in a timely manner and a reasonable cost."

"We are 100% satisfied with Paramount Pavers and Construction through the entire process, from quote to job completion. They contacted us promptly to schedule a time to discuss our needs and in person. We received a detailed quote within one work day. The job was scheduled and completed promptly, and we are very happy with the quality of their work - the retaining wall looks exactly as we hoped. We are also very happy with the care that was taken to keep their work area clean with drop cloths and to haul away debris from the job."

"Javier and his team were great. We were originally hiring him for a bigger project and he had another idea that would cost significantly less and give us the same outcome. Not everyday you get a landscaper talking you out of spending more money! He and his guys did a great job and left the area cleaner than when they found it."

"We had 1500 sq ft of turf installed in our backyard. It was pricy, but all turf is pricy these days AND these guys are awesome to work with. They are complete professionals and absolutely know what they are doing. Having dealt with a lot of unreliable contractors, we’ve decided we will pay extra if it means I’m getting a pro experience with no headaches. They arrived at all meetings on time and prepared. Their payment plan was reasonable. We were able to book the installation pretty quickly; about a week after we decided to move forward. The installation team were professional, efficient, cleaned up and did it all in one day! They were also able to work around existing sprinklers that I wanted to keep operational."

"Paul and his sons poured 2 slabs around my house. The work was completed on time and looked great. They went out of their way to see to it that the little things were not forgotten. They were friendly helpful and left the property clean when the job was completed. I would recommend Paul and his 2 sons to anyone that needs concrete work done."

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, answered by experts

Railroad ties can be good for retaining walls, but it depends on the area. They have a desirable rustic look and are durable. The problem is they’re treated with creosote, a preservative the EPA says poses a risk to humans and wildlife. Over time, the preservative seeps out of the wood and into the ground. Many areas have banned the use of creosote-treated wood on residential properties. If your area does allow it, never use railroad ties near an edible garden or drinking water source. Instead, use wood that’s treated with an EPA-approved preservative or a wood-alternative composite material.

Yes, to build a retaining wall, a permit is required. Similarly, any repairs or modifications to an existing retaining wall require permits. If the planned wall measures higher than 4 feet, most municipalities require designs and permits come through a licensed engineer. In some locations, if the wall is shorter than 4 feet, a permit may not be required. For the requirements in your area, contact your local government.

Most retaining wall installations can be finished in one to three weeks, but the timeline varies based on factors like wall size and material. The local climate and major weather events, such as storms or flooding, can also extend the project's timeline, as can any holds ups in the permitting process.

Costs depend on material type, labor rates, and additional features like decorative finishes or reinforcement.

Small retaining walls still require a foundation of some kind, typically a concrete footing. This helps to ensure the wall is structurally sound and prevents the ground from shifting over time, especially during those winter freeze/thaw cycles. The footing helps spread the weight of the wall and the load it carries over a larger area of the ground, thus assisting with stability. This is true of small retaining walls, larger rock garden walls, and the like.
