"From the beginning Colorado Wall and Daniel, the manager made the project easy for me and the project. He explained the process. The materials are top quality and the price was reasonable. The retaining wall put in my backyard is beautiful and functional. I have to say I am impressed with the results and will hire Colorado Wall for future projects."

"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!"

"Armando was prompt, honest, efficient and reasonable. I am very pleased with how attractive my stone wall and steps now appear. My recommendation would be to bag up any trash before discarding and make sure it gets in the proper bin. Otherwise, I highly recommend him and his business. I expect I will invite him back for additional work."

"The fence and block wall were installed as agreed in a very professional and efficient manner. The hard scape wall has a new concrete footer that will eliminate the wall from moving. We are very happy with Peppers Landesigns work and will call them again for any future landscape needs."

"Henry walked us through the process and gave us reasonable quotes. We ended up postponing work done due to the pandemic and Henry honored the original quote. Our old timber retaining wall was rotting. Henry and his team replaced the timber retaining wall with a stone retaining wall and helped clear out rocks and plants. He also built a retaining wall garden in front of our house. Henry helped us pick out trees and plants suitable to our preferences for a mountain feel with medium to low maintenance. We are very satisfied with the quality of his work and would hire Henry and his team again for any future landscaping projects."

"Timberline Gardens Landscaping did a major construction of a three-tier retaining wall in our back yard area. We were specific on how we wanted the retaining wall be installed including using geogrid to tie back the wall system. We included two sets of steps to two tiers. The result was an exceptional retaining wall. The steps look terrific and provide easy access to two tiers. The crew was helpful in guiding us on the location of the wall installation and did an exceptional work during the installation. The crew was knowledgeableand professional, and their insight was invaluable. Shelly and Judy were patient with our numerous questions prior to and during construction and helped us with many decisions are the project progressed. Great work."

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Most railroad tie retaining walls have a life span of 20 to 30 years, though you may need to replace your wall sooner if it’s repeatedly exposed to heavy rain, runoff, and excess moisture. Railroad ties are typically treated with creosote, which makes them much more durable than untreated wood. Though they last longer, they don’t last forever. For the most longevity, make sure your retaining wall has a sturdy base and steel reinforcements. You should also install drainage to direct water away from the wall.

Small retaining walls still require a foundation of some kind, typically a concrete footing. This helps to ensure the wall is structurally sound and prevents the ground from shifting over time, especially during those winter freeze/thaw cycles. The footing helps spread the weight of the wall and the load it carries over a larger area of the ground, thus assisting with stability. This is true of small retaining walls, larger rock garden walls, and the like. 

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.

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.
