"I can only reiterate the other 180 positive five star reviews prior to mine. It was a pleasure working with Alex and his crew! His work exceeded our expectations. They were so polite, easy to work with, extremely professional and knowledgeable. They were here for about a week and left the worksite clean each day when finished. We hired him to replace two walkways, build a gorgeous firepit, construct two rock walls and install Belgium block around a garden. Alex was a great communicator and offered great ideas for our projects. The photos should speak for themselves."

"Leonard and his crew were extremely efficient and hard working. They did a great job at building a back yard patio and stone wall. I was very pleased. They were timely and cleaned up the area nicely. I would recommend them and have them do more work if needed."

"I received a quick response from Talo s Masory owner John Talo. He came to my home the very next day and looked at what I needed to have done. I was loosing land in my back yard and needed a retaining wall. John gave me a quote that was hard to believe. Of course I accepted and gave John a down payment. John started the job in a week or so and finish a beautiful 70 x 3 retaining wall in 3 day s. For an extra fee John offered to reseed and fertilize the lawn. Well I accepted and thank god i did. It was like John and his crew were never there. The wall and yard came out great and I could not be any happier. I would definitely use and recommend Talo s Masonry to anyone looking for masonry work done. Check out some of their work on their website. Amazing company. Thank you John and crew. God bless"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, to build a retaining wall, a permit is required. Similarly, any repairs or modifications to an existing retaining wall require permits. If the planned wall measures higher than 4 feet, most municipalities require designs and permits come through a licensed engineer. In some locations, if the wall is shorter than 4 feet, a permit may not be required. For the requirements in your area, contact your local government.

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.  

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.

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.
