"Their pricing was very competitive, and they did a great job laying in a block retaining wall for me. Created two tiers, graded everything flat, and cleaned area just fine. Very responsive communication by Ernie, and good customer service overall."

"My wife and I had a project in mind but were really unclear on how to proceed. We have a sprinkler system that's 25 years old needing repair and we wanted to expand the coverage area. We did an exhaustive search for a reliable and highly recommended professional and we settled on Steven who did a masterful job not only bringing our current system up to spec but enlarged the coverage area just as we imagined. Steven is the consummate professional who really knows his business. The best part, he's extremely reliable and honest. When we needed to iron out some issues post installation Steven would come by promptly and take his time fixing everything and even doing extra work to bring the sprinklers up to his expectations. I highly recommend Steven if you're looking for someone who will solve your issues with honesty, fair pricing and pure professionalism, he's your guy. We're glad we found him...Thanks Steven!"

"My experience was all I could have hoped for. The responses were prompt, schedules were kept, and the work was done efficiently and on time. Mark was open to all of my ideas, and we were in sync from the beginning. The work was done in two days, and both teams (site preparation and the installation) were fantastic. And the finished project looks perfect!"

"Alonso was amazing! I had an exterior stone wall that was leaking. He removed the stone, repaired the wall and reinstalled the stone. It is so well done it blends right in with the rest of the stone areas that weren't removed. He was on time, organized and the site was left neat and clean at the end of the day. On top of all this, Alonso completed the job in record time. I would recommend him any time!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, 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, including patterns, finishes, and plant integration for aesthetic enhancement.

To maintain the integrity of your landscape, a retaining wall must be installed if the slope of the angle exceeds 35 degrees. The lean of the wall must be 1 inch per 12 inches in height to disperse the weight of the soil uniformly and guarantee the correct drainage of the soil.

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.

If you don’t backfill a retaining wall—either at all or adequately enough—the wall won’t drain well, and water will be able to pass through it. Poor drainage will lead to a warped wall or a buildup of hydrostatic pressure, which can eventually collapse your retaining wall. If you have particularly sloped land, consult a structural engineer to ensure your hardscaping is adding value to your home.
