"I have used Mason Works on a previous project in 2017 (new stone wall and front step repair) and was very happy with their work. This project was to replace driveway including matching previous stone wall, add granite curbing to right side and complete replacement of existing asphalt. Stone wall is great, granite curbing is great but does not fully match in size or color (they explained that this is typical when ordering granite) and driveway really is just OK. They use a more course asphalt mi than you'd typically see and they explained that it lasts longer. My issues with driveway: • Driveway not evenly smooth, quite a few rougher spots • Section on side of driveway that you can see it's not evenly rolled • They said to wait 5 days to park on it and I waited 3 weeks instead but there are several tire marks already from parking on it"

"Silvio's team did a great job re-laying my bluestone patio and building several retaining walls in the yard. He was very responsive to make sure the work was done to my liking and his crew members were polite and took care to minimize damage to existing plantings. The price for the work was reasonable and I would recommend this team."

"Rich from RJ services did a spectacular job installing the tile of my second floor cape house shower stall and vanity! Rich was nothing but professional, timely with completing the job, and very clean. Along with his obvious skill and knowledge he is a very pleasant and sociable man. At all times he was polite and courteous, punctual and kept us informed of his progress. The end result of his labour is very impressive and just what we were hoping for I would highly recommend his services for your tiling needs and we will certainly be using RJ services in the future."

"Marconi is wonderful! He did such a beautiful job with our retaining wall, taking it apart piece by piece and rebuilding it to perfection. He was very prompt with responding to our request for a quote and a week later we had a new wall, amazing! We will definitely use Marconi again for other jobs as they arise."

"Our yard is on top of a hill and had a lot of soil erosion. In order to prevent that we needed a retaining wall done along the fence. We contacted multiple contractors but none came close to Ruben for value. He did an excellent job in laying concrete blocks and building a fence on top of it. The final result was exceptionally professional. We got more than or money's worth."

"John and his team were awesome! We hired them to complete a full cleanup of shrubs and bushes, flowers, weeding, and mulching. We had just bought the house from someone who let the outdoors go, so getting a fresh start was well worth it. John was very kind and upfront and transparent with everything concerning pricing, services, and kept us in the loop during the whole cleanup process. Boyd was much more reasonably priced than competitors, but we believe that did not take away from the quality services that we received. Thank you!"

"I am extremely happy with the work that was done. Eddie was terrific. My walls and steps were in a sad state and unsafe. He Took care of everything and was extremely respectful of my budget. His work is outstanding, my stone walls look better than they ever have and the steps are so much nicer than they were before. He definitely went above and beyond my expectations. He's honest, He came right when he said he would and price was exactly what he said it would be and absolutely no mess. I couldn't be happier and I recommend him 100%!"

"I recently had front steps and a landing installed at my door entrance, and I'm thrilled with the results. The combination of veneer and granite not only adds an elegant touch but also ensures durability. The installation was seamless, enhancing both the aesthetic and functionality of my home entrance. Highly satisfied with the craftsmanship and overall quality."

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.

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.  

Yes, to build a retaining wall, a permit is required. Similarly, any repairs or modifications to an existing retaining wall require permits. If the planned wall measures higher than 4 feet, most municipalities require designs and permits come through a licensed engineer. In some locations, if the wall is shorter than 4 feet, a permit may not be required. For the requirements in your area, contact your local government.

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.

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.
