"I truly regret hiring HavenHub for my backyard project. After a salesman came to our door, he designed our landscaping plan — retaining wall, stairs, shed pad, boulders, and sprinklers — and quoted $24,995. I paid in full around July 8, 2025, with a contract promising completion by July 28. No one ever showed up until I contacted them. Since then, I’ve dealt with four project managers, endless delays, broken promises, and almost zero communication. One crew came but didn’t know what they were supposed to do and couldn’t reach anyone for direction. Another poured a footing wrong, according to one of their own workers. Months later, my yard is still torn apart, and HavenHub continues to ignore me despite taking full payment. I’ve had to involve a lawyer just to try to get a response. Terrible communication, unreliable crews, and no accountability. Be very careful before hiring this company."

"James was hard to work with. He did a good job but forgets who the customer is. He?s condescending and a know it all. Doesn?t think he has to work on holidays and still wants to be paid. Also he over charges. Charged us $250 to clean a very small spool twice a week. He left without any written resignation and didn?t formally say he wasn?t coming back. Just disappeared "

"Hector Castro of WestCape provided us with the most comprehensive quote of all the other companies we saw. Hector and his crew arrived when they said they would and always left our property cleaned and hosed off even after a long day of demo. We couldn’t be happier with our new courtyard entrance and the best part is there were no surprises! Everything Hector said he would provide, he did. "

"Excellent service. Showed up about an hour after I made the request. Price was very reasonable. Execution was good spent the tome to research the material that needed to be matched. Lastly it was a small job repairing two 12" round holes in artificial turf. They treated the repair as if it was a much larger project. Will defiantly use them again. "

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

Proper design and construction prevent erosion and add structural stability to landscapes.

Poured concrete is likely the cheapest way to build a retaining wall, as this material costs anywhere from $6 to $8 per square foot. The next best budget-friendly option is to use landscaping timbers. These timbers are great for DIY projects, as they don’t require tools to successfully build a retaining wall. Landscape timber costs around $10 to $14 per square foot. Depending on your chosen garden style, you can also go with natural stones or concrete blocks. Natural stones can be expensive if you buy them, but they’re a lot less costly if you can source them from your property. 

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.

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