"We needed a path from the patio to the workshop on an uphill and rocky slope and a retaining wall in front between an existing walk- way and a steep slope. Luis and his crew gave us a beautiful curved walkway with wide, easily navigated steps. The front retaining wall blends seamlessly into the existing wall and walk way. The craftsmanship is unmistakable and the cost extremely reasonable. They were all professional, thoughtful and communicated work schedules and updates - all very much appreciated. We highly recommend this company and will certainly use them for our next project."

Customers say: Quality work

"Meticulous, highly skilled and a relentless worker, Clinton Allen sized up my situation, saw the solution, and within a short period of time reworked a significant mistake made with the construction of my home. I was 100% satisfied with both the cost and the work. I highly recommend C. Allen Concrete for any project you may have in mind. Had a patio that someone misjudged initially; ended up sloping toward the house and every rain threatened to come in via a door which was then below grade. After many frustrating attempts to get anyone to return a call let alone come to bid in it, Home Advisor steered me to C. Allen Concrete. Clinton called within a day and came out two days later. He quickly sized up the job, knew immediately what needed to be done and as I waited offered a very reasonable quote. I greenlit it and not very long after he was at it mercilessly with the jackhammer, and in a lengthy day had the entire slab blown out. I was astounded, especially considering there was unexpected rebar within. Working around two loadbearing posts with an 80-pound hammer was to me intimidating, but Clinton handled it like a sculptor. Soon the rubble was gone. Clinton cleared and meticulously graded the area, then set the forms. A week later was the pour, it was amazingly well choreographed by Clinton and executed by his topnotch crew. The result was amazing, reshaped slightly to a more aesthetically pleasing design, and now graded properly. When completed, the final product easily exceeded my expectations, the water just flows away from the house and I no longer need fear a downpour. The patio looks great, matches the remaining walkways perfectly and the adjacent areas were smoothed and blended. Rare to find anyone who leaves a jobsite better then when they found it. Not a trace of debris. Easy to work with, experienced and skilled (and personally dedicated to the project), Clinton has a great eye for detail and carried out the job to a high standard indeed."

"We recently had Mega Power Electric Inc install a solar system and panels. The President and provided excellent communication all the way through the process. He even met with us after installation to explain the almost incomprehensible PG&E bill. Although not the least expensive bid, his was competitive and I felt he was as interested in educating me about solar and the various types of panels and inverter systems as he was in selling a system. He demonstrated how the array of panels would meet our energy needs and as opposed to some of the other companies, wasn't selling us more than we needed. We are very satisfied with our solar system and I highly recommended Mega Power Electric Inc."

"Hired this business to do a complete overhaul on our backyard. We had them install a sprinkler system, sod, boarders, gravel, rock, a retaining wall, privacy tress, flowers, shrubby, level everything out, and even had them fix a gate and one side of our fence. They turned a hideous dirt backyard into a gorgeous paradise. The owner is a super hard worker and won't stop until the job is done. Highly recommend."

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.

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. 

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

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.
