"This was a fairly extensive project. My backyard was nothing but weeds and rocks and dirt, in pits and valleys. I wanted a green lawn, and different levels, separated by a wall. I picked Pierce because he was well reviewed, and he didn’t try to upsell me. “You don’t need a retaining wall” he said, just stairs. When I was considering mulch rather than seed he said a similar thing “I don’t even think mulch will work with all the thistle you have.” I found Pierce to be very knowledgeable in addressing issues that came up throughout the project, and very efficient. I checked him on the cost of each phase of the project, and I always found his number reasonable. He is a bit of a perfectionist - he wants things done the right way. But the result has been worth it. I now have a beautiful lawn and steps where before there was nothing. He has even followed up with me several times since to check on how the lawn is progressing. I am very satisfied."

"I have used star crew on multiple projects over the past 5 years because of their exceptional quality of work. They have installed floor drains and poured concrete In my horse barn, poured sidewalks around my chicken coop, as well as poured a super flat and smooth flood in my shop for me all of which surpassed my expectations. My projects are a testament to the commercial quality they bring to every job even those in the residential/agricultural setting."

"Paul and Shaquana were great to work with to replace a portion of our sidewalk. Took a little longer than expected, due to an issue with the county that was out of their control. But they communicated well and completed the job with high quality. Would definitely recommend and use them again."

"In late fall, I noticed that a piece of a stone wall abutting my driveway had broken off and was drifting into the driveway. Concerned that the wall would fall into the driveway, I contacted Quinn Brothers Masonry. They came out within two days, assessed the situation and gave me an estimate. The work involved taking down both walls, knocking off old mortar on the stones, and removing ivy. After the walls were taken down, protective covering was placed on the exposed dirt, and drainage pipes and gravel were installed. They then rebuilt the walls, using the original stones. While rebuilding the walls, Patrick Quinn advised me that my stone house foundation had been compromised by paint and old mortar. I authorized additional work to restore the foundation. The paint on the stone foundation was removed and the old mortar was taken out. Then, the entire foundation had new mortar installed. I am extremely pleased with the results and will definitely hire them again."

"Gary was very personable, knowledgeable and competent. He provided helpful ideas and suggestions for the design of the patio. He and his crew accomplished the work in a very efficient manner and the resulting patio was very well built and aesthetically pleasing. The shed pad was exactly what we needed. He left the work site neat and clean We are very happy with the end product and would definitely recommend Gary for this type of work. clean up/pad"

"Excellent. A crew of 3 worked from 7AM to 6:30PM. Removed the old concrete, did all work as explained in the estimate and cleaned up the work area before leaving, all in the same day. We were very happy with the workmanship and would definitely recommend them to our friends."

"I can fully recommend Brison Landscaping. I had made mixed experiences with other firms but Torress and his team were outstanding. They were quick to understand what I needed, asked me about inputs at critical moments of the project, but also provided excellent ideas on how to design, arrange, and and plant things. It's difficult to find teams where you feel full alignment between the owner of a company and his crew, and with Brison Landscaping that was the case. Competitive price, quick work to my full satisfaction, and easy communication. I can highly recommend them and will hire them again."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Proper design and construction prevent erosion and add structural stability to landscapes.

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.

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.  

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.

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.
