"I needed to install permeable driveway, They came right away, knew right away what to do, fixed retaining wall which was broken and created retaining wall on other side. Also made an asphalt. They started next day, finished fast and did a beautiful job. I would hire them again and recommend to everybody"

"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"

"Dealing with Legacy Stoneworks inc and Rodrigo was surely a pleasure. He came out to inspect the area that needed to be fixed. Quoted that day. We agreed on the price and with in a weeks time had his crew come out and to do the work. The workmanship was incredible. They did awesome work, they cleaned up after they were done and the project that they said they would do just looked great. I can highly recommend Legacy for any of your stone work needs. The project consisted of replacing pavers stones that have sunken over the years. They also fixed a decorative front retaining wall that was leaning. I think sometimes repairing stone work or a stone wall can be a harder project than starting completely new. Well their work was awesome. Everything matched, everything came out great. Keep up the great work Legacy Stoneworks you’ve earned my trust."

"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."

"Jerry was excellent to work with - knowledgable, communicative, professional, flexible and hard working. The team cleaned up after themselves every evening, came when they said they would come, and most importantly, did a wonderful job of rebuilding out stone retaining wall. We liked the work so much that we added on the project of replacing our very ugly concrete walkways with beautiful new pavers that make a huge difference in our small backyard."

"Given the experience with the roof repair (reviewed herein), I contacted Abalia for help in completing a project I had started: screening in the open front porch to our log cabin. As the entire cabin is constructed of cedar logs, no straight edges, walls, etc. Screening in openings was straight forward (I did most of this), but the porch needed to be segmented (screened-in area, open area) requiring a wall and door to be constructed. Khaled arrived with all the necessary tools (which I did not have), and in short order (4 hours) had constructed the porch divider wall. Very happy with the end product, as we just completed our first warm season with no bugs on the porch!"

"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 questions, answered by experts

Generally, a railroad tie retaining wall consisting of a single line of ties should be between 3 and 4 feet tall—and the height often tops out at around 6 feet. You can go taller, but you may need additional footings and reinforcements, including a second layer of railroad ties to support the added weight of the soil it’s holding back.

Generally speaking, a retaining wall should be between 3 and 4 feet high, depending on variables such as the wall-building material, the purpose of the retaining wall, and more. If you want your retaining wall to be taller than 4 feet, check with your local building ordinance office for the maximum allotment. You may also need a special permit for retaining walls over 4 feet tall.

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.

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.

Yes, you can use cinder blocks for many purposes, including retaining walls, foundations, garage walls, and fences. Building a cinder block retaining wall costs between $60 and $200 per linear foot, including materials and professional labor. For a 30-foot-long retaining wall, the cost ranges from $1,800 to $6,000.
