"Vitoria Pavers did an excellent job on a retaining wall to level a sloped yard. They were competitively priced, shared ideas on how to improve the design throughout the project, and completed the project in a timely manner. I would definitely hire for any future work."

"We had an excellent experience working with Vitoria Pavers Contractor! We wanted to update our long driveway by removing the old concrete, installing pavers, and repaving and reviving our side yard. From start to finish, the process was seamless. Mike from Vitoria responded to our inquiry promptly and came to our home to discuss our options. He provided thoughtful recommendations, and we loved his ideas. The project took about a week, and throughout that time, the Vitoria team was professional, communicative, and respectful of our space. They ensured that the large equipment and materials were not disruptive to our neighbors, which we truly appreciated. The final result was fantastic, and even after the project was completed, they returned to address a small lingering issue—showcasing their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Vitoria Pavers is a great company to work with, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality paving services!"

"We recently hired Bay Breeze Landscaping to build a new retaining wall and fence, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Eduardo was professional, friendly, and trustworthy from start to finish. He communicated clearly throughout the entire project, explaining the contract, the process, and keeping us updated on the progress every step of the way. Any adjustments that came up were handled quickly and without any issues. The project stayed on schedule, and Eduardo always followed through on what he said would be done. Their pricing was fair, there were no surprises, and the job site was kept clean throughout the project. The quality of the workmanship exceeded our expectations. The retaining wall and fence both turned out beautifully, and it’s clear that Bay Breeze takes pride in their work. If you’re looking for a contractor who is reliable, communicative, and delivers excellent results, I highly recommend Bay Breeze Landscaping. We would absolutely hire them again!"

"Working with the team at Pavers Express was super easy and we are so pleased with our end product! They helped us come up with a plan for both our front and back yards. We have two little boys and wanted to rearrange our backyard. We worked together to come up with a plan for a new bluestone patio with fire-it (which we use ALL the time!), turf for the kids to play and a place to grow our veggies. We spend so much more time outside now! They also did our entire front yard. We extended our driveway to make it bigger so the car doors don't hit each other. We love the pavers and it instantly elevated the look of our home. They were able to run piping for irrigation and did turf in the front of our home. My favorite part of it all are the blue stone stepping stones up to our front door. we now have a modern house with VERY little maintenance. We are so happy with their work and we love our outdoor space!"

"Guillermo Reyes personally came to visit the site. We were a week and a half late moving in to our home due to flooring delays...they couldn't get the old wood floor up except by scoring it with a circular saw, wetting it and scraping it up the old fashioned way. This left thick floor dust on ALL surfaces...including the ceilings. There was no way the two of us could have cleaned the house. Guillermo to the rescue! He scheduled us right away and assured us everything would be taken care of. Sure enough, the crew arrived before 7 AM and had the whole house cleaned (even cielings and walls, fans, chandeliers, windows, tracks and screens), by the time we came back at noon. His guys moved the furniture from the garage into the house and placed it where we wanted it (we didn't have to hire additional movers). He even changed the HVAC filter (in the cieling). Guillermo and team enabled us to move in right away. We highly recommend Reyes Cleaning Services! They know what needs to be done and they do it well."

"Gomer Basave brought a team of three to four men to construct a 180 foot trench for proper drainage from the landscaped garden to the back of the property. It took six days to build the trench as well as lay the pipes and test the water flow. Throughout the construction, the team worked hard to create the trench and the work was supervised by visits from Basave to the site. Starting with the estimate and proceeding with the work, Gomer Basave was an approachable, responsible and honest contractor who worked with his team to complete the project. The job was not an easy job but Gomer and his crew worked continuously to create a trench that could transport water away from the house. We greatly appreciated working with Gomer and his crew and hope we have the chance to work with them again on other projects."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can use cinder blocks for many purposes, including retaining walls, foundations, garage walls, and fences. Building a cinder block retaining wall costs between $60 and $200 per linear foot, including materials and professional labor. For a 30-foot-long retaining wall, the cost ranges from $1,800 to $6,000.

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.

To maintain the integrity of your landscape, a retaining wall must be installed if the slope of the angle exceeds 35 degrees. The lean of the wall must be 1 inch per 12 inches in height to disperse the weight of the soil uniformly and guarantee the correct drainage of the soil.

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.

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.
