"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 would highly recommend Sandstone Construction for masonry and cement work! They did a 10 foot repair on my driveway after it had to be dug up, they installed burgundy brisk bullnose the length of the property retaining wall, and did matching brick on my fire pit and seat wall. It came out fantastic! The crew was here on time, cleaned up each day, and did an incredible job! I am so pleased! I will definitely be using Kyle and Sandstone Construction again!"

"Javier and his team were great. We were originally hiring him for a bigger project and he had another idea that would cost significantly less and give us the same outcome. Not everyday you get a landscaper talking you out of spending more money! He and his guys did a great job and left the area cleaner than when they found it."

"Luis did an amazing job on our backyard patio and walkway. He was very prompt, attentive to everything we wanted, and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. He even finished a few days early, which I really appreciated since we were hosting?it took a lot of stress off and gave me peace of mind. We?re so happy with how everything turned out, and everyone who?s come over has loved the new patio. We?re already looking forward to having him come back to do our driveway this summer."

"I am absolutely thrilled with the exceptional work performed by Vega Landscape on my recent hardscape and landscape project. From the initial consultation with the owner, Nick Vega, to the final reveal, the entire experience was nothing short of outstanding.  Nick's design consultation was incredibly insightful as he took the time to listen to my vision and offered creative and innovative solutions that exceeded my expectations. From beautifully poured concrete, smooth stucco walls, IPE wood fencing, artificial turf installation and modern pavers, the execution was flawless with impeccable craftsmanship. And let's not forget the plants! The plants Nick chose were everything I wanted and more, especially because I love seeing birds, bees and butterflies in my front and back yard. The final result has completely transformed my outdoor space. It is now a stunning and functional extension of my home, perfect for hanging out and enjoying the outdoors. The project significantly increased the curb appeal of my home and created a more private and relaxing outdoor living space. I am incredibly grateful to Vega Landscape for their expertise, professionalism, and dedication to creating such a beautiful and enduring space. I highly recommend Vega Landscape to anyone considering a hardscape or landscape project. They are truly the best in the business. I particularly appreciated Nick's consistent involvement throughout the entire project, from the initial design to the final completion."

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, answered by experts

Regular inspection for issues like cracks or leaning and ensuring drainage stays clear.

Depending on who you hire to build a retaining wall, the average cost, including demolition and reconstruction, for a 50-foot wall that's 4 feet in height is between $7,000 and $24,000.

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.

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.
