"Their bid was extremely well detailed. I know nothing about retaining walls and was able to follow and understand all of their proposal. Their finished work is exactly what I wanted. The crew, AK-crew, was professional and kind. The only issue I had was the waiting period for getting the necessary supplies. I felt that communication was less than expected during that time - but that may only be me. I'll need another retaining wall in my front yard and will be using this company again"

"Acting as our own general contractors,  we interviewed David among the first trades people we considered because of his stellar reviews online, both on Yelp! and here on Angieslist. There was a formidable amount of work to be done between our front and back yards and we wanted to be sure we had the right guy for the job. Others looked at the scope of the work and said they were too busy, and one gave us a quote that was off-the-charts costly while boasting that his would be the best quote of all.
We're sure David was surprised to hear from us so long after his initial visit, but his approach was welcoming, his attitude was professional and the level of detail with which he explained things made us fans from the moment we signed the initial contract. His workmen were unbelievably strong, fast, and exacting as huge cement trucks came and went from in front of our home. Once forms were in place and concrete began being poured, his men had to work fast to trowel each section, knowing we wanted as fine a broom finish as we could get. David was here every day of the job, often having to deal with both my husband and I hovering nearby. Even David's 75-year old father, who taught his son the business, spent days expertly troweling and smoothing our retaining walls and walkways alongside the other workers. It was a thing of beauty to see all this happening, and the first tangible bit of work done to our property after nearly nine months of planning and staring and plans.
As he interpreted the landscape designer's plans, David discussed every element with us, occasionally giving us the option of changing things up, such as raising the wall to 3 feet in some areas and stepping it down to 2 feet in others, where the levels would be more congruent with the nearby grade.
The result is easily the most attractive concrete job in the neighborhood, and as we continue to get the rest of the work done (shade structure, mortarless paver patio, etc.) David's concrete works sets the standard of excellence for all our other contractors.

"We hired Edgar to transform our backyard him and his team did a great job. We met with Edgar and he was very personable and understood what we wanted. He crafted a beautiful patio and the work was completed in less than two weeks. The work included demoing existing concrete and installing new paver patio with a sitting wall and block planter. I was very impressed by his work and Iâ m grateful we choose him and his team to work on our home."

"Alex and team did a great job with my front yard. He scheduled a start time and was punctual. Installed 5 valves and connected associated sprinkler lines. Installed approx. 5 yards soil then rolled 500 sq ft sod. Next came the spit rail fence. Installed split rail fence to send it to the next level. All this working in nasty sticky clay soil. Job site was cleaned up as if they weren’t there. Thank you Alex and crew. Would definitely hire again."

"Mark and his crew did and excellent job with installing pavers in my backyard. He told me it would take 3 days and they were finished in 3 days. They cleaned up after themselves which I have had contractors before leave their empty water bottles and food wrappers behind. Mark and his crew are professional, friendly and hard workers. I had used Mark 13 years ago when I bought this home and they did a great job with the front of the house. It is unrecognizable from what I had purchased. I was so glad he did not retire and was happy that he was still on Angi's list for me to hire. Great work team."

After an initial consultation with the owner, John, who provided recommendations based on my vision for my front yard. He made great suggestions that I would never have thought of, which made my yard beautiful and efficient with rocks that I love."

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.

The lifespan of a retaining wall varies based on its material, installation quality, maintenance, and local climate, with an average range of 20 to 100 years. Retaining walls made from durable materials like concrete, stone, and brick generally last a minimum of 50 years. Concrete walls typically last between 50 and 100 years, while brick can last for over a century in ideal conditions. Timber retaining walls can last from 20 to 40 years, depending on the wood quality, and pressure-treated wood walls average around 30 years. It is important to note that a retaining wall can fail prematurely if it was poorly constructed, for example, with inefficient footings or without necessary rebar reinforcements.

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

Each design is different, so we can’t say definitively if you’ll need a dedicated drainage system in place for a two-foot retaining wall. However, you can likely skip the drainage, as this project is typically served for walls that are 4 feet tall or more. Even with a relatively low wall, consider drainage if you are building on top of clay or poor-draining soil types or if there are buried water sources nearby, like a well used for other outdoor garden projects.

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.
