"Brad Sayre Landscaping surpassed our expectations. They were honest, upfront and fair with the bid and with our design changes/add-ons. They completed the job (with additions) within their estimated time frame. We were happy with the communication regarding our design and planting requests. They took our basic plan and with their expertise, adapted it to our yard with amazing results. The fieldstone walls and the exceptional flagstone staircase are now the centerpiece of our new back yard. We asked for a low maintenance, low water, functional back yard and they knocked it out of the park."

"We are SO happy to have found Alfredo on Angi’s! We called him on Friday and him and his crew had our project done on Monday. My husband also works construction and he was very impressed by the work they did for us. We won’t be using anyone else for our concrete projects! Would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for concrete work."

"We love our new patio! Camilo was excellent. He and his crew showed up on time, did the work as described, helped us make choices when necessary, and finished the job on schedule and on budget. He left the job site clean and tidy. After seeing the amazing amount of work he put into our project, we were glad we didn't try to do this on our own. We never would have made anything as solid and neat as he did. Thank you Camilo!"

"Jose and Saul are not your average landscapers. They are well versed in landscape design, cement work, plant and legume knowledge, construction and property management. They have been in my employ for over twenty years. They are friendly, bilingual and timely in their appointments. I highly recommend Sola de La Vega!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

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 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.

Even if you think you know how to build a retaining wall theoretically, doing the actual work is a completely different story. There are lots of nuances in building retaining walls, and the slightest oversight can compromise their integrity. Therefore, we recommend you hire a pro to build, repair, or replace retaining walls.

A retaining wall can only function as a fence if it’s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn’t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall.
