"Daniel and his crew did an excellent job. Prompt and thorough communication through the whole process. The retaining wall they put in is sturdy and looks great, plus they finished a day ahead of schedule. His crew also helped remove some old sod and debris in the yard which saved us from needing to rent a dumpster."

"Armando does great work and is fantastic to work with. He and his team cleared out our back and front yards and installed a retaining wall out front. The wall matches the house great and looks like it has always been there. Can not recommend highly enough!"

"I first hired Daniel and his team to scrape my front yard to get it ready for spring planting, and to plant four new trees. They did such a good job, I was thrilled to hire them right away to build a new retaining wall in my 100-year old house basement. They worked within the timeframe I needed them to, as I also was working with another company to replace my furnace. The wall came out better than I could have imagined! When I had some leakage problems with my sprinkler system, they came and worked on that, as well as replaced an old valve. They went above and beyond on my multiple projects. Daniel and his team are pros! I highly recommend them and look forward to using their services again! Thank you D&D!"

"Incredible job with our backyard masterpiece! Lots of retaining walls, a putting green, pavers, boulders, lighting, and textures that all work incredible together. I am very impressed with how the 3d rendering looks just like the finished product! For any similar project, I would highly recommend them!"

"I recently had two retaining walls built on our property by Gabe @ Peppers Landesign Services, and after the heavy storms we've experienced, I can confidently say that they exceeded every expectation. The retaining walls performed flawlessly, they are beautiful and handled a tremendous amount of water without any issues at all. It's obvious that the project was designed and built with quality, craftsmanship and attention to detail. The entire team was professional, knowledgeable, and great to work with from start to finish. It's reassuring to know we made the right investment and we're incredible grateful for the outstanding work. If you're looking for a landscape contractor who stands behind their work and delivers exceptional results, I highly recommend Gabe and his team. Thanks for a job very well done!"

"Shelly and her crew just finished landscaping my old, overgrown and weedy front and side yards. I found her to be extremely knowledgable, professional, on time and great to work with. She delivered not only the job but also the estimate when she said she would. They tore out our old landscaping and bushes, prepared the soil for new plantings, installed a low water irrigation system, pathway through the yard, a few boulders, rock, mulch and 35 small bushes. She worked with us on price which was important to us, too. I would not hesitate to use her again and neither should you!"

"Short version. Awesome design, met all of my requirements. Blown away by speed and quality of the landscaping work which I asked them to continue on and do. No reservations about recommending them every single time. Fernando and his team were just fantastic. Long version: Landscaping contractors are hard to read. There are so many of them, and some can talk a good game and then take 3 months because it's actually just two guys in a truck. So I was nervous until the first day when I think eight people, in safety vests showed up and began the project. I was having a full landscaping removal and replacement. Day one, the fence was out, and the new one was halfway up. Over a very short period of time, back yard slope was reduced and an excellent retaining wall installed. New French drains, new cement path from front driveway all the way to deck in backyard. Sprinklers, rocks, grass, bushes, sod, all came in waves. They used good equipment, took great care to not damage neighbor lawns, etc. On the design, I'd asked for something a little more modern, not xeriscaped, but less wasteful, and they delivered. I paid the extra for the 3D rendering which was awesome. It made it very easy to see what I was going to get. They were open to questions and suggestions, sent me the options on stuff like outside lighting and stain colors when appropriate, so again, no surprises. The worst thing I can say about the entire project was somebody forgot to toss a bottle in the trash one day. That's it. No damage, no surprises, no disappearances, none of the nightmares I've had with other landscaping projects in previous places. This was a dream. The idea of spending this much money (since it was a total redo) was very stressful, but seeing it come together so quickly and so nicely really helped a bunch. Final thought, Comcast probably didn't bury your cable deep enough, and even though it's located correctly, it will probably get ripped out. It took Comcast 3 weeks to fix it. That was not awesome and isn't Colorado Sunshine's fault. Be prepared."

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.

Installation typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the wall’s size and site conditions.

The lifespan of a retaining wall varies based on its material, installation quality, maintenance, and local climate, with an average range of 20 to 100 years. Retaining walls made from durable materials like concrete, stone, and brick generally last a minimum of 50 years. Concrete walls typically last between 50 and 100 years, while brick can last for over a century in ideal conditions. Timber retaining walls can last from 20 to 40 years, depending on the wood quality, and pressure-treated wood walls average around 30 years. It is important to note that a retaining wall can fail prematurely if it was poorly constructed, for example, with inefficient footings or without necessary rebar reinforcements.

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.

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.
