"I hired Alex Masonry to remove and rebuild a retaining wall that was leaning. After some discussion, I decided to expand the project to include new bluestone caps and to re-do my cracked concrete walkway with pavers. Alex and his crew did an outstanding job. Alex is extremely knowledgeable, personable and a pleasure to work with. His pricing is very reasonable. He and his team did a great job. Hard workers, with great attention to detail. I would highly recommend Alex Masonry!"

"Hired Design and Build to install some belgian blocks as an edging for my driveway, specifically to help direct water run off, and eliminate a problem I was having. The two young men arrived on time, and did an excellent job figuring out what would be the best way to solve the problem. They carefully cut the edge of the driveway, dug out a trench, placed mortar, installed the blocks, and cemented in place. They also addressed other possible issues contributing to run off. They took their time and did a beautiful job aesthetically, and cleaned up everything in a very meticulous manner. I have not been having problems with run off since, and am very pleased with the work done. I would also mention that the workers were very well mannered and hard working, and the price was very fair."

"Leonard and his crew did a magnificent job rebuilding a set of stone steps topped with concrete slab and repairing a field stone foundation wall that water had damaged. He and his crew are both skilled artisans and artists. He is polite, honest, and hard-working, and his services, quite reasonably priced, are worth every penny spent. Hire this man."

"They were on time and repaired the 2 walls efficiently and within 2 days. The work was excellent restoring the wall better than they were before. The cost was moderate and I would definitely have them do more work for me in the future."

"Absolutely highly recommend EK! He promptly came out to provide a quote and then maintained seemless & prompt communication. It was a very fair rate (actually the lowest), and, in the end, he did a stunning job (dry retaining stone wall repair). Do not hesitate to hire EK!!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Each design is different, so we can’t say definitively if you’ll need a dedicated drainage system in place for a two-foot retaining wall. However, you can likely skip the drainage, as this project is typically served for walls that are 4 feet tall or more. Even with a relatively low wall, consider drainage if you are building on top of clay or poor-draining soil types or if there are buried water sources nearby, like a well used for other outdoor garden projects.

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.

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.  

DIY is possible for small projects. Professional installation ensures structural integrity and durability for larger walls.

Options include concrete, stone, brick, and wood, tailored for specific design needs.
