"Arturo and his crew were and have always been amazing. I have had Arturo working in my gardens for nine years. His quality is unquestionable and the work is lasting. He figured out how to drain water from a back wall and for the first time in 25 years, I had a dry basement - it was remarkable. His hardscape work is beyond beautiful. He put in two retaining walls, while also laying a patio with existing material. People who visit are always taken with the beauty of what he and his crew created. Finally, Arturor is honest, hard working, has integrity and is dependable to a fault. When he finishes a job, the yard is perfect, he carries everything away. He is the only person I allow to do my work."

"I contacted Tony about building a retaining wall in my front yard. Upon receiving my call, Tony was able to schedule an appointment for later that day and gave me a quote within 24 hours. Tony's quote was nearly half of price that competitors gave me. Tony began work literally within the week. He told me he would be at my home at 800 am, and he was there and working by 730 am. He completed the job in three days. On top of completing beautiful work, he was conscientious and respectful of the area surrounding where he was working. He completed a MAJOR construction project at my home, yet there was not a single blade of grass moved out of place. His attention to detail was remarkable. I am incredibly happy with the final result and my experience of working with Tony and AM Masonry. I would encourage you to contact him and work with him for any of your masonry needs."

"The tear down and rebuild was fast. He came and provided an excellent quote, found the right kind of material that should have been used and rebuilt the wall after the huge rain storms caused it to bow out. Will be using him to redo my backyard deck into a paver patio."

"Fantastic company. We've long had drainage issues around our driveway and garage- but no more! The Team at Daybreaker helped us come up with a custom plan to deal with our issues and fully transform the front of our house! We could not be happier with them and love watching neighbors and locals stopping to stare at our new driveway, retaining wall and front porch. 5 stars and many thumbs up!"

"Alex and his team were very professional. They guided us through the patio project and also installed a built-in firepit, custom seating around the fire pit, a built-in grill with a granite counter, a built-in pergola, and a paver installation (custom design). Finished project on time and within the agreed budget. Excellent job!!"

"contacted T&K Builders after discovering mold in my exterior wall, and their response was immediate and professional. The team quickly demolished the affected area and installed the necessary structural supports to safely hold the roof. Everyone on site worked efficiently, communicated clearly, and maintained a high level of professionalism throughout the process. They kept the site clean, protected materials from the elements, and were extremely organized—especially important since we received over four inches of snow the following day. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and stress-free. Their attention to detail, workmanship, and respect for the property truly set them apart. I would absolutely recommend T&K Builders for any future projects and would not hesitate to call them again."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

To maintain the integrity of your landscape, a retaining wall must be installed if the slope of the angle exceeds 35 degrees. The lean of the wall must be 1 inch per 12 inches in height to disperse the weight of the soil uniformly and guarantee the correct drainage of the soil.

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.

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

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.
