"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars for WCD Masonry! I highly recommend William Dunn of WCD Masonry! William recently repaired our CMU masonry retaining wall, including replacing damaged blocks and repairing and regrouting the mortar joints. He completed our entire back wall plus the side walls on both sides of our property in just two days, and the finished work was exactly what we wanted. He arrived on time, worked steadily throughout the day, and cleaned everything up when he was finished. Beyond the quality of his work, William was personable, professional and, in my experience, very honest—which I truly appreciated. Our wall looks great, the job was completed quickly, and our expectations were definitely met. If you’re looking for someone for masonry or block wall work, I highly recommend William and WCD Masonry."

"Excellent craftsmanship. Paramount Pavers more than exceeded my expectations. They were accommodating, professional, courteous, respectful and timely. I highly recommend Paramount Pavers for all aspects of landscaping and concrete work. They demolished a 55’ retaining wall, constructed a new wall and a new driveway. The work is impeccable. Great Company. Thank you Isaac, Rudy and Edwin for caring for my project, like it was your own."

"I hired MVP to build a new retaining wall after our old one started to fail. They assessed the situation, explained the options clearly, and gave us a fair quote. Once work began, they stayed on track and delivered exactly what they promised. The finished wall looks great and feels solid. It’s such a relief to have it done right. Highly recommended for any structural or landscape wall projects!"

"Having managed dozens of renovations over the years, both commercial and residential, I can say that Joe Messineo is the best contractor I have ever hired, in any craft. No minor distinction. A 3rd generation master stone mason, Joe is an old school modern craftsman who produces quality builds. I engaged him to demolish and rebuild virtually all of the hardscape at my home---driveway, side walkways, French drain, brick patio inserts, and over 150 feet of retaining walls. A 7-week job, with more than a few moving parts. Joe’s team, Enrique and Claudio, worked like stunt men in a choreographed manner, carefully removing thousands of pounds of old concrete and cinder blocks, positioning rebar and framing the sites for cement. The worksite was clean and orderly at the end of each day. Then, 2 generations of Messineo---Joe, with a guest appearance by his father, built a complex series of retaining walls and brick inserts, that will clearly last decades longer than the original work from 1959. Every line dead-level, every elevation plumb, and every surface finished perfectly. The concrete team that completed the job with 2 truckloads of wet mix, delivered flawless slabs of new surface. Their overall level of craftsmanship and professionalism is not often to be seen these days, and it deserves recognition when it arrives."

"A slope in our yard made the space hard to use, so we added a retaining wall. Way To Go Builders managed the project and suggested a reinforce concrete footing to support the block wall above it. The crew dug a deep trench, installed rebar, and poured a solid base. Once cured, the wall was built up and capped for a clean look. Drainage was included with weep holes and gravel backfill, which prevents water buildup behind the wall. The wall spans nearly 40 feet, transforming the yard into usable, level space."

"Creative Home Remodeling saved us and our retaining wall project from disaster. We had originally worked with two other contractors and our city for 15 months and all we had to show for the time and money spent was a huge hole and an even bigger pile of dirt in our backyard. When Ovi, the Creative Home Remodeling Project Manager, answered our call for an estimate, he was not only professional and knowledgeable, but also compassionate about all we had been through. He gave us a fair estimate to complete the job, but also his word that they would not give up until the job was complete and we were fully satisfied. Working with our city was very challenging, but they never gave up, meeting every requirement to gain approval and keeping us informed every step of the way. When we finally obtained approval, they immediately got to work, and the job was completed within a couple of weeks. Then they finished the job with lovely pavers and grass sod, so that our backyard was once again lovely, and finished just in time for our family’s Easter celebration. The work they did was excellent and we highly recommend them!"

"I recently hired G&L Design Building and Landscape for a major outdoor project, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results! From start to finish, the experience was seamless, professional, and truly impressive. Dror, the owner, is a visionary. His attention to detail, creativity, and commitment to quality were evident in every phase of the project. He took the time to understand my vision and brought it to life even better than I imagined. His team built a stunning retaining wall, installed lush, vibrant turf, and laid down beautiful interlocking pavers that completely transformed the space. On top of that, they planted an incredible selection of trees and flowers that added the perfect finishing touch—absolutely breathtaking! The crew was punctual, respectful, and worked with great care and precision. It’s rare to find a team so dedicated and passionate about their craft. If you're looking for top-tier landscaping and design, look no further than G&L Design. Dror and his team are the real deal—professional, talented, and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

A retaining wall can only function as a fence if it’s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn’t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall.  

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.

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.

If you don’t backfill a retaining wall—either at all or adequately enough—the wall won’t drain well, and water will be able to pass through it. Poor drainage will lead to a warped wall or a buildup of hydrostatic pressure, which can eventually collapse your retaining wall. If you have particularly sloped land, consult a structural engineer to ensure your hardscaping is adding value to your home.
