"Del Mar Landscaping has done various landscaping and construction jobs for us over the years, and we are always impressed by the results and so are our neighbors. Del Mar is understandably very busy but once they get started, they stay on site until the job is done. We highly recommend them."

"Taveras Custom Landscaping build our side garden retaining wall and a side entrance way. Paulina was prompt, willing to discuss the project and listen to our concerns. The project was completed in a timely manner and the project area was always cleaned at end of each day. We have plans to have this company complete the front entrance way of our home in the future."

"I had 2 walls built and they look great. I also had sod and drain lines installed and irrigation lines re-routed. That portion of the project did not go very smoothly. The work was not initially done to my satisfaction and some of it had to be re-done. I had some difficulty communicating with the work crew between my broken Spanish and their broken English. I believe that some of the problems may have been avoided with more site supervision of the work crew. Tom Berenguel was very accommodating and willing to do whatever needed to be done as problems arose. I can only recommend the company for masonry projects."

"Nick arrived when he said he would and completed the job on time. I was very pleased with the speed and efficiency with which Nick's team worked. To install the wall it was necessary to put some rosebushes into containers and a lot of that sort of details. Nick's folks took care of those details very quickly. There was a 4 foot section of wood fence which I agreed to remove and replace when they completed the job. I removed the section of fence and was pleasantly surprised to find that, after they had completed the retaining wall, they had replaced the 4 foot section of fence, even properly cutting it to fit the new retaining wall. A job well done Nick!"

"Professional and great to work with. Would recommend him and his team to any of my friends and family. Literally was able to turn my pencil and paper drawings into reality (with improvement of course). As a result, we were able to have a beautifully renovated front/backyard. We were able to stay within our budget and project timelines and Carlos even followed up with us months after the project to make sure that everything was still up to his high level of expectations."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

If you've decided you'd like to skip the cost of restoring a brick exterior wall after considering whether you should repair or replace brick on your house, you can consider installing fiber cement siding over brick for a cost of $2 to $6 per square foot. When done properly, cement siding over brick offers a durable, low-maintenance option that can actually reduce your home's energy costs. It's also attractive. However, improper installation or installation over heavily compromised brick can cause water damage. 

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.

Most retaining wall installations can be finished in one to three weeks, but the timeline varies based on factors like wall size and material. The local climate and major weather events, such as storms or flooding, can also extend the project's timeline, as can any holds ups in the permitting process.

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.
