"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!"

"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."

"Adrian and his team did a great job, we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. From recommending a paver that accentuates the colors of our home and a border pattern that looks great every detail was thoroughly executed. The installation was done efficiently and on schedule, completing before promised while also addressing a few additional requests during the job. I highly recommend Cela’s Masonry, they were the best contractor we worked with during our addition project."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Through proper drainage solutions and compacting the foundation soil.

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.

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.

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.

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.
