"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."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Eber Chilel from New England Pavers and Stone, LLC, based at 76 Essex Street, Lynn. He delivered outstanding service by visiting my home to provide an estimate, picking up my supplies at no extra charge, and masterfully installing my fence in just over two hours. The result is a beautifully private space that truly showcases his exceptional craftsmanship. Eber's professionalism and expertise were evident throughout the process, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of top-quality work and would hire him again without hesitation."

"The job included removal of approximately 100 feet of pressure treated landscape timber retaining wall of varying height (2 to 4 feet high) and replacement of a stairway. I can't say enough good things about Renan and his team. The work was completed within the stated schedule. The quality of the work was outstanding. They are trustworthy and honest. The work was done efficiently. Renan explained the work plan in detail and provided estimates when changes were considered. I highly recommend MAGALHAES MASONRY. I have additional work planned for next spring and will definitely hire MAGALHAES MASONRY."

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, answered by experts

Through proper drainage solutions and compacting the foundation soil.

If you've decided you'd like to skip the cost of restoring a brick exterior wall after considering whether you should repair or replace brick on your house, you can consider installing fiber cement siding over brick for a cost of $2 to $6 per square foot. When done properly, cement siding over brick offers a durable, low-maintenance option that can actually reduce your home's energy costs. It's also attractive. However, improper installation or installation over heavily compromised brick can cause water damage. 

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.

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. 

Poured concrete is often the cheapest material for a retaining wall, costing around $6 to $8 per square foot. Other budget-friendly options include vinyl and landscaping timbers, which range from $10 to $15 per square foot; landscaping timbers are particularly well-suited for DIY projects. Untreated timber and railroad ties are a step up in price, starting at $15 to $25 per square foot. Natural stones can also be a cost-effective choice if you can source them from your own property, but they can be expensive to purchase. High-end materials like steel are typically the most expensive but offer superior durability and aesthetics.
