"BY THE YARD placed a stone fascia on our home that not only repaired a cracked retaining wall and a failing foundation, but also gave our home an aesthetically pleasing overhaul. We received complements from our neighbors. Their work crew, led by Brett Benton, were professional, timely and very helpful with work scope recommendations. I highly recommend them."

"Matt is a very nice person, generally professional and responded timely to texts and emails. The weather interrupted our project multiple times but considering that, he and his crew worked hard and were here when they said they'd be. Matt was very knowledgeable about types of sod for our different areas of yard. He did overestimate how much sod it would take but deducted the leftover from the final cost. He offered us a discount to book with him earlier than originally planned. We took the offer but after the work was done, made us wonder if his crew also discounted the quality of work. We went with Matt because of the wonderful ratings online and the discount. However, the quality of work was seriously lacking. They left big gaps between rolls of sod, ruts in our yard from their equipment (filled some, didn't others), lots of debris in the curb around our property, didn't roll the sod very well (lots of lumps and bumps), re-seated some pavers on front walk from equipment damage but didn't fill paver gaps with sand. We are really surprised by all this because of the wonderful reviews he got on various websites. We wish him well but honestly can't recommend. Disappointing for the cost."

"I needed a 40x40 concrete foundation for my 3 car garage and extensive driveway/sidewalks installed connecting it to the main house. He and his workers did it all professionally and timely. I am very pleased with the results. Frank is a conscientious person and does things the right way. He also gave me a really good price for the big job. I highly recommend Greystone Concrete Masters."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Small retaining walls still require a foundation of some kind, typically a concrete footing. This helps to ensure the wall is structurally sound and prevents the ground from shifting over time, especially during those winter freeze/thaw cycles. The footing helps spread the weight of the wall and the load it carries over a larger area of the ground, thus assisting with stability. This is true of small retaining walls, larger rock garden walls, and the like. 

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.

Even if you think you know how to build a retaining wall theoretically, doing the actual work is a completely different story. There are lots of nuances in building retaining walls, and the slightest oversight can compromise their integrity. Therefore, we recommend you hire a pro to build, repair, or replace retaining walls.

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.  

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.
