"These guys are pros! I couldnâ t believe they donâ t have more reviews. I found these folks through Angiâ s List. I had an existing fence which was build by not licensed contractor and fell off in a year time. When Iâ ve met supervisor Julio and our project manager Mila I had a doubt that someone can get this job done on 100% which they did on 120%! Communication with in project was great. Quality of the job is outstanding I know for now this retaining wall & fence will stay here forever since I saw how many rebarâ s & concrete and digging was involved. I will definitely recommend Geico Builders team & management to everyone."

"Jose Guzman’s work is top notch and he couldn’t be a nicer person to work with. Jose and his crew dug deep into the ground around my house and installed a French drain. They repaved my sidewalk and driveway, and repaired concrete around my house after the drainage plan was installed. The soil was hard and rocky, it was tough work, and they dug at least as deep as necessary, or even more. These are honest, extremely hard-working guys. My house sits at the bottom of a hill, and water now flows seamlessly into the street rather than into my garage. Later, I hired them to remove backyard concrete and install new stone work - both steps and a flat area. The work is absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much!"

"We hired Pavers Express to give our backyard a makeover with a porcelain patio and artificial grass. From our initial consultation until the project was complete, their customer service was excellent and they helped to guide us in material selection to make sure our vision would be carried out. The team was professional, easy to communicate, and their installation process was very efficient. Highly recommend!"

"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!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.  

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.

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 range from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on size, material, and design complexity.

DIY is possible for small projects. Professional installation ensures structural integrity and durability for larger walls.
