"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."

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Railroad ties can be good for retaining walls, but it depends on the area. They have a desirable rustic look and are durable. The problem is they’re treated with creosote, a preservative the EPA says poses a risk to humans and wildlife. Over time, the preservative seeps out of the wood and into the ground. Many areas have banned the use of creosote-treated wood on residential properties. If your area does allow it, never use railroad ties near an edible garden or drinking water source. Instead, use wood that’s treated with an EPA-approved preservative or a wood-alternative composite material.

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

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.

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