"Well-spoken. Hard working. They tell you what they will do and when. And that's exactly what they do. They went over and beyond to make sure we had an attractive, long-lasting garage floor. They know concrete and they know what tools to use. I know our job had a big surprise. When they started to remove the old floor, they found another floor underneath. We had no idea. It caused them more work in the prep, but they didn't balk or hesitate or ask for more money. I wish we had more work for them, but we don't. Absolute certainty that, if we ever need any concrete work in future, this is who we'll call. A"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Costs range from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on size, material, and design complexity.

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.

The longevity of flood walls depends on how they were constructed, but most wood, gravel, and cement flood walls last 10 years. While aluminum flood walls may cost far more initially, they can be a good investment as they can last decades and will not be damaged by exposure to the elements.

Costs depend on material type, labor rates, and additional features like decorative finishes or reinforcement.

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.
