"I hired this company to design my backyard landscape and they did a fantastic job. The designer was creative and came up with a beautiful plan that incorporated all of my ideas. 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."

"Luis was the first to respond to our request for quote. He was prompt and showed up on time. He listened to our ideas and gave some of his own. We ended up with the perfect solution of a low retaining wall around the yard edge and defining a play area around our grand babies play set. We also added a higher retaining wall and garden planter on one side of the yard and a stand alone 3 x 12 veggie garden planter for me. Luis was always on time or called if there was a schedule change (we had rain and a couple of sick days) He told us up front he wasn’t the cheapest nor the most expensive and he lived up to his word. We finished on time and on budget, hard to do these days but communication was the key. By the time the project was done we knew we had a new friend as well as a trusted professional. We strongly recommend you go with these guys, they put their heart and soul into their work!!!!!!!!! The first two photos are before and the others are after."

"The company did a terrific job building the retaining wall--it looked even better than I had hoped. The quality of construction was excellent, they arrived on time, completed the job as promised, were courteous and responsible, and all at a fair price. I highly recommend Quetzal Landscapes."

"Excellent! We extended 2 areas on each side of our pool to make it more usable for lounge chairs on one side and a table with 6 chairs on the other. I can highly recommend Kent Horner and his company for many reasons. They started the work quickly, showed up daily and on time until it was completed, had a large crew and fixed any issues that we had due to moving sprinklers and lights. Kent used a large excavator to level the areas himself over 3 days. When this part was done, the crew took away the grass and dirt and disposed it, prepped the areas and put in the retaining walls, pavers and drains. I really appreciated that Kent showed up every day to check on the progress and address any concerns. He said the job was priced a bit low because there was so much compacted hard soil. He didn’t try to up the price, he did the work for the price he quoted. Thank you so much Kent and CH Gardens for the wonderful job! It’s awesome!"

"We needed to replace a failing retaining wall along the curb of our home. Gregory helped us understand our options, made a plan that matched our needs (textured block wall with concrete footing for long term stability), and gave a very fair quote. The Veria Construction team completed the work ahead of schedule, and did a great job. I would happily refer Veria Construction to a friend, or contact them again for a next project."

"Emily and her team at SD Premier Outdoor were absolutely amazing to work with, turning our front and back yard dreams into reality! We had never tackled a landscaping project, so we needed a partner to walk us through the entire process from start to finish. Emily first took our rough ideas and created an immersive 3D design to help us visualize what it would look like on our lot specifically. She sat with us and made live edits so we could tinker with the plans and ensure we were comfortable with the designs. She brought us to various projects in our neighborhood to inspire ideas and help us feel confident in our choices. She took us to look at paver options in person, and accompanied us to the nursery with her greenscape team to pick options. She even helped us through the process of submitting our landscaping application to the HOA, which was no walk in the park! The installation itself went very smoothly. She was able to accommodate a trip we had previously planned and use that time to install the pavers while we were out of town. While we were in town, her crew was extremely professional and easy to communicate with, and clearly expert craftsmen. Before, during, and after installation Emily was easy to work with, always available by phone or text, and generally a joy to interact with. We'd happily recommend Emily and SD Premier Outdoor to anyone looking to improve their landscaping!"

"Noe came to our house the day I initiated my search. He completed the job in fewer days than projected! He removed old concrete, installed pavers and cleaned up afterwards - it looks great, plus his bid was lower than others’."

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.

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

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.

If you've decided you'd like to skip the cost of restoring a brick exterior wall after considering whether you should repair or replace brick on your house, you can consider installing fiber cement siding over brick for a cost of $2 to $6 per square foot. When done properly, cement siding over brick offers a durable, low-maintenance option that can actually reduce your home's energy costs. It's also attractive. However, improper installation or installation over heavily compromised brick can cause water damage. 

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.
