"We’re so glad we contracted with Ortega. They handled all arrangements effectively, guided us through the design work while keeping the job within our budget, prep’ed a challenging plot and delivered a solid patio pitched perfectly and on schedule. I highly recommend Camilo and team."

"Kevin and his father did a fabulous job! We needed to have our trees trimmed, weeds removed, and hedge cut/removed. They both worked efficiently, completing each task required, were courteous and professional. Very easy to talk to and very pleasant to work with. Additionally, they cleaned up the area spotlessly and hauled away all the debris. We would definitely use them again."

"Keith and his two employees did some demolition work in the basement of my house. They worked very hard for almost four hours. It was a big, dirty job and they did a very good job. I would hire them again if I had more demo work to do."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

There are contractors specifically trained in the design and construction of retaining walls. Retaining wall contractors are skilled at dealing with the soil on your property and assessing what kind of drainage should be installed. They will recommend the best materials to use for the project and can handle the processing of permits by local authorities.

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.

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.

Most railroad tie retaining walls have a life span of 20 to 30 years, though you may need to replace your wall sooner if it’s repeatedly exposed to heavy rain, runoff, and excess moisture. Railroad ties are typically treated with creosote, which makes them much more durable than untreated wood. Though they last longer, they don’t last forever. For the most longevity, make sure your retaining wall has a sturdy base and steel reinforcements. You should also install drainage to direct water away from the wall.

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.
