"They got back to me right away. So happy with the price, I had them do more projects. Things that I thought we would have to wait on, their price was so good, we had them go ahead and do it. They leveled my back yard and tore down a rubble wall and put up a beautiful wall. Makes by backyard seem even bigger. And did my side yard too. Now I have a beautiful level yard. Even my neighbors are envious. They even did more than they said they would do. I have already called them for my next project."

"The crew arrived, toured the job and went to work! This project involved trimming and shaping several overgrown shrubs. The work exceeded my expectations. The crew was friendly, polite, and very focused on getting the job done. I appreciated their advice on one particularly problematic shrub."

"These guys remind me of the Old Days when I worked for All-Work construction. We lived by our word and our quality of work. Yep, these guys are the real deal they gave us a very competitive quote and lived by that quote. They take pride in their work and have great work ethics IE they show up when they say they are going to show up and do what they said they would do. Thank you for all you did. To name a few they, finished the hardwood floor, (other contractor bagged on us), completed all the finishing work and drywall repair/ replacement. Painted the interior and repaired the roof over the Florida room. And completed all the landscaping work."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Each design is different, so we can’t say definitively if you’ll need a dedicated drainage system in place for a two-foot retaining wall. However, you can likely skip the drainage, as this project is typically served for walls that are 4 feet tall or more. Even with a relatively low wall, consider drainage if you are building on top of clay or poor-draining soil types or if there are buried water sources nearby, like a well used for other outdoor garden projects.

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.

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.

Sand and gravel are two suitable options for filling behind a retaining wall. If you’re building your own retaining wall, you’ll complete this part of the process—known as backfilling—after you finish laying the blocks. Make sure not to skip it—otherwise, you could wind up with drainage issues, which can cause your retaining wall to collapse.

Depending on who you hire to build a retaining wall, the average cost, including demolition and reconstruction, for a 50-foot wall that's 4 feet in height is between $7,000 and $24,000.
