"Their bid was extremely well detailed. I know nothing about retaining walls and was able to follow and understand all of their proposal. Their finished work is exactly what I wanted. The crew, AK-crew, was professional and kind. The only issue I had was the waiting period for getting the necessary supplies. I felt that communication was less than expected during that time - but that may only be me. I'll need another retaining wall in my front yard and will be using this company again"

"Very easy to work with. The team did and outstanding job - quick, efficient and left the area pristine when the project was completed. I had been looking for someone to help with a small front yard patio and stucco wall for years to no avail. Once I spoke with Advanced Pavers it was a go! The outcome is exactly as I had envisioned and I am extremely pleased!"

"Alex and team did a great job with my front yard. He scheduled a start time and was punctual. Installed 5 valves and connected associated sprinkler lines. Installed approx. 5 yards soil then rolled 500 sq ft sod. Next came the spit rail fence. Installed split rail fence to send it to the next level. All this working in nasty sticky clay soil. Job site was cleaned up as if they weren’t there. Thank you Alex and crew. Would definitely hire again."

"We just moved into our new home in Sacramento and as you know these new build houses are bare bones when it comes to landscaping! Yasmine came out to do our estimate and ultimately we chose her and Forever Green as our landscaper. I am so impressed with her professionalism and vast knowledge on landscaping options! She guided us the entire process and was prompt with her communication! I’m so happy with my new backyard!!"

"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!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

Depending on who you hire to build a retaining wall, the average cost, including demolition and reconstruction, for a 50-foot wall that's 4 feet in height is between $7,000 and $24,000.

Generally, a railroad tie retaining wall consisting of a single line of ties should be between 3 and 4 feet tall—and the height often tops out at around 6 feet. You can go taller, but you may need additional footings and reinforcements, including a second layer of railroad ties to support the added weight of the soil it’s holding back.

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.

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.
