"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 Brian totally redo our driveway and are extremely pleased at the result (see pictures below). It looks so nice, that several people passing the house have stopped and commented about how nice it looks, and it was installed 5 months ago. Not only that, Brian's bid was "extremely competitive" and one of the lowest compared to the other four we requested. I would highly recommend that any prospective home owner contact Brian before committing to another contractor."

"Perfectly! The quality of their work is exceptional. They are extremely dedicated to their performance the quality of their work. If parts they ordered are not up to their quality standards, Kris & Aaron find parts that match. Everything matches and looks beautiful. Even the retaining wall is gorgeous. When I wanted the tops of my gates to reflect my garage window shape, Aaron matched them beautifully. They look spectacular Natural Vibrations has one team. Because there are not separate teams with associated quality control issues, everything is always beautiful. I suspect they could do anything connected to construction. And would report honestly if they couldn’t. Because of their commitment to quality, at times I have had to wait for them. They are totally and completely worth it and are not the only construction company I will use. They are very honest; I have had no hesitation leaving them in the house or supplying them with means to enter if I am away. I recommend Natural Vibrations without reservation."

The installation process was seamless and the team was professional and efficient. I now have a backyard that I can be proud of and enjoy all year round. I highly recommend this company for anyone looking to enhance their outdoor space."

"Done within one week. Superb job trying to match other panels with textured Cement block. They went above and beyond to do my big job. They really know masonry. They are very friendly and courteous. Hole left by a vehicle is now closed in and matches the rest of the wall, and is stronger and supports the other weaker panels. It could have only been done better if Slump Stone was still available. The texture job they did to make it match looks better than the one done down the street."

"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!"

"I just completed a job with Landscape Solutions in Los Gatos and wanted to share my experience with anyone who might be looking for a landscape company. Our project was a small yard with a combination of hard surface and the installation of artificial turf for our dogs. I was surprised how good it looks and the dogs seem to enjoy it as much as real grass. I interviewed a few companies and chose Landscape Solutions based on how easy they were to talk to and how transparent they were with their process including design and billing. The entire job went very smoothly. I changed a few things after we started, and they were upfront about how that would impact the time to completion and the cost. In both cases their estimates were accurate. Their pricing was competitive and given the quality of the finish product and the ease of working with them I found it to be very reasonable. The guys they had doing the work were very professional, polite, and easy to work with. They cleaned up after each days work and returned the next morning right on time. I appreciated that they were very respectful of my time and my home. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and I have already recommended them to a friend who may need work done in the future. They are a 5 star contractor. I highly recommend them."

"Carlos and his crew did a wonderful job installing a new paver patio at our home. It was our first experience with pavers, and Carlos guided us through the whole process from design, material selection and installation. His crew was punctual, professional and respectful. When things unexpectedly occurred or were outside our expectations, as is typical in such projects, Carlos went above a and beyond to make sure we were happy with the situation and final product. The result is a beautiful paver patio. It rare to find a company so committed to customer satisfaction. Highly recommend."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

Sand and gravel are two suitable options for filling behind a retaining wall. If you’re building your own retaining wall, you’ll complete this part of the process—known as backfilling—after you finish laying the blocks. Make sure not to skip it—otherwise, you could wind up with drainage issues, which can cause your retaining wall to collapse.

There are contractors specifically trained in the design and construction of retaining walls. Retaining wall contractors are skilled at dealing with the soil on your property and assessing what kind of drainage should be installed. They will recommend the best materials to use for the project and can handle the processing of permits by local authorities.

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

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.
