"I hired Mark's company in April 2024 but weather (heat & rain) delayed the installation until September. His two man crew (lead by Marco) removed my old concrete patio and installed new Interlock pavers (about 400 square feet) as well as assembled my pergola with completion in six days. Very happy with the quality of work and friendlyness of this crew. I recommend using Mission Brick Paving for any work using pavers."

"Dealing with everyone from BSC was a pleasure. Brandon responded quickly to our request and worked with us on a design for the paver area. They did a beautiful job with the paver area. They are truly artists when it comes to designing and installing pavers. We would gladly recommend them and hire them again if needed. Our yard went from dead grass and overgrown bushes to being the yard that neighbors now stop to look at."

"My first few quotes showed me what the patio would look like with paver bricks and I thought that was my only option. They suggested concrete which I actually wanted originally. They started about a week after our chat and finished the job in a day. It looks really good and clean"

"Our natural stone retaining wall was failing due to improper initial installation by the original contractor several years ago. Brian and Luis came in and totally rebuilt the wall properly with the correct base and drainage to insure a long lasting product. The team arrived as scheduled and completed the work within the timeframe given. We couldn't be happier with the result!"

"I am so pleased with the work Ignacio and Kevin did on my project! We are in the process of selling our house and needed to get the yard in tiptop shape for pictures and an open house. I met with several landscapers I found on Angi’s website, and explained the situation. They were all great, but when I met with Kevin, his professionalism and his understanding of the situation truly impressed me! Kevin and Ignacio, began the project within two days of our first meeting and completed everything in 48 hours! My yard is beautiful! Thank you so much 4 Brothers Landscaping! Kevin and Ignacio are such lovely gentlemen! I will definitely use them again!!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Through proper drainage solutions and compacting the foundation soil.

Small retaining walls still require a foundation of some kind, typically a concrete footing. This helps to ensure the wall is structurally sound and prevents the ground from shifting over time, especially during those winter freeze/thaw cycles. The footing helps spread the weight of the wall and the load it carries over a larger area of the ground, thus assisting with stability. This is true of small retaining walls, larger rock garden walls, and the like. 

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.  

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.

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.
