"Eddie and his crew did a fantastic job rebuilding the wing walls and pouring new concrete steps at our house. From bidding to contract to work and cleanup, E&B were easy to work with and provided excellent results. Would definitely hire again."

"We hired this company to replace our crumbling front stairs, the curved front walkway, another set of stairs, rebuild the retaining wall in concrete, and install new railings. Fidel and Daniel were responsive and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. They took the time to answer all of our questions. The level of communication and customer service stood out to me and showed me how much they care about the quality of their work. The new concrete, retaining walls, and railings look amazing. We are getting compliments on it. Everything was completed professionally, and the finished product is functional and beautiful. I recommend this company for quality concrete work and excellent customer service."

"Pete and his StoneMark crew installed a beautiful paver patio for us. Pete was great during the planning phase, using his expertise to make suggestions for the design. He dealt with all the permits, and was personally there for the inspections, to make sure nothing was missed. The crew was neat and professional throughout the project. We couldn't be happier. Well be using StoneMark next year for our backyard patio and fire pit, and the following year for our driveway."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Through proper drainage solutions and compacting the foundation soil.

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

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.

They prevent soil erosion, add flat space, and enhance property aesthetics.

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.
