"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."

"They did work for our rental property and it was fantastic the work that they did! I will actually be bringing them out to my home to do some work for me since they did a good job. I have already recommended them to friends and family and would highly recommend Elson to anyone. He is great!"

"It is hard to overstate the excellent work I had done via Northern Grey Masonry and in particular its owner/principal, Derek Waters. We had an exterior front staircase leading to our front door. Derek was a last minute 3rd bid I almost did as an afterthought and he knocked me off my feet. He immediately gave me several major and very thoughtful redesign tips and helped expand our project signficantly for the better in an affordable way that turned our staircase rebuild into an absolute showpiece. He was comfortable talking to both me and my wife and even spent hours with us in a quarry rethinking stone choices. He was flexible with design and always picked up the phone on the first ring for when we called. We ended up with a stairway that turned an unplanned emergency project into the envy of the neighborhood. He works with his father, also a master mason whose decades of experience added even further to this perfect project. I truly could not recommend him more."

"I had several quotes from different businesses and decided to go with A-ALL as the knowledge was clearly there and the price was also great. Masonry can be tricky but Geo and his crew did a phenomenal job! They were professional, on time and left the site clean after. I will never hesitate to recommend or use them!"

"Very smooth. We were told we would have one or two nights where we would have to flush with a bucket. It was only one night after all. Very professional, neat, and on time. She doesn't cut corners and if something comes up that has to be repaired before the work continues, she shows what needs to be done before doing anything. Very satisfied!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

With foundation walls, the slab on grade and force at the top of the wall is resisted by flooring. With retaining walls, the force at the top of the wall is not resisted.

Railroad ties can be good for retaining walls, but it depends on the area. They have a desirable rustic look and are durable. The problem is they’re treated with creosote, a preservative the EPA says poses a risk to humans and wildlife. Over time, the preservative seeps out of the wood and into the ground. Many areas have banned the use of creosote-treated wood on residential properties. If your area does allow it, never use railroad ties near an edible garden or drinking water source. Instead, use wood that’s treated with an EPA-approved preservative or a wood-alternative composite material.

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.

Yes, you can use cinder blocks for many purposes, including retaining walls, foundations, garage walls, and fences. Building a cinder block retaining wall costs between $60 and $200 per linear foot, including materials and professional labor. For a 30-foot-long retaining wall, the cost ranges from $1,800 to $6,000.

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.
