"Conrad was so helpful and honest and thorough. He gave me a true assessment of my current system, what needed to be done to fix it, and didn't try to upsell me on any expensive repairs or new installations. Would recommend them to anyone."

"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."

"Great overall job. Very knowledgeable. They really know how the work need to be done. The wall is amazing and we get many compliments. The only thing, since we are very picky, we have preferred a little attention to details. Less chipped blocks in the wall and less gravel left behind on the ground. I would recommend them, but would suggest to mention your expectations."

"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!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

While vinyl is the least costly material for building a retaining wall, the most cost-effective method is to use wood or concrete blocks for a DIY retaining wall under 2 feet tall. Wood is inexpensive but lasts 20 years or more with care. Concrete can cost a little more but is stronger and will last longer with less maintenance.

Yes, including patterns, finishes, and plant integration for aesthetic enhancement.

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.

Generally speaking, a retaining wall should be between 3 and 4 feet high, depending on variables such as the wall-building material, the purpose of the retaining wall, and more. If you want your retaining wall to be taller than 4 feet, check with your local building ordinance office for the maximum allotment. You may also need a special permit for retaining walls over 4 feet tall.
