"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!"

"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."

"They did an extraordinary job building my new sidewalk and front step. They did the job in just two days! It looks fantastic! The work was amazingly clean. All the mulch and gravel, etc., they had to move to install the sidewalk, they replaced. The new walk has made a huge improvement to the looks of my yard and home. They were easy to work with. Communication (by text) was excellent. I was kept posted on everything they were going to do. The invoice had an itemized list of all the supplies and procedures regarding the installation. I am absolutely delighted about the new walk!!!"

"The fence work was performed on a wet muddy day. The crew did a good job of not doing damage to the lawn and cleaned up the work area. The crew installed the fence the way that I requested. There is a large dip in the lawn and the crew installed the level across the dip as requested."

"She spent more time explaining and walked everywhere. She even looked at some plats I had and gave us some research on we could do because it is a wetlands area. I had to call her back. She was very helpful even before she did the work. She's very professional and very timely. She was very prompt. She's got over 25 years of experience. She knows her tress; she told us what trees to remove and recommended trees we could plant."

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, answered by experts

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 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.

Generally, a railroad tie retaining wall consisting of a single line of ties should be between 3 and 4 feet tall—and the height often tops out at around 6 feet. You can go taller, but you may need additional footings and reinforcements, including a second layer of railroad ties to support the added weight of the soil it’s holding back.

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.
