"Colin did a masterful job of preparing then repairing a series of entries in my upstairs cape home, returned the day after insulation was completed and repaired to “as original condition”. His worker, Eric was also great in removing built-in areas of bath and seeing to their repair. I was very impressed with the entire job. They left the upstairs clean and ready for paint."

"Bob Pino did an excellent job on multiple handyman tasks in my home. He responded quickly, was very knowledgeable, thorough, professional and skilled in the work done. He completed smaller tasks and efficiently repaired an entryway ceiling, with a second person assisting to get it done quickly. His workmanship was skilled and he did a great job with numerous small repairs, installed an under cabinet TV and patiently explained pros and cons of different repair options. I recommend him highly."

"I hired these guys to repair drywall/plaster one of my walls. The response time was excellent and the they always showed up on time. Always cleaned up after themselves as well. 4 stars because they did not do a good job on the part of the wall around my outlet. The outlet was left too deep in the wall which was not how it was before the project. I was told I would have to fix this myself or hire someone else.."

"Ben is the BEST! Ben is knowledgeable, honest and took the time to educate us on our options. We live in a 100 year old home and the foundation needed repair - uncertain as to what was ideal for our home. Ben assessed what needed to be done and did the work! He repaired our foundation and was clean, neat and thorough. Ben is a MASTER at what he does - a real old world craftsman. Thank you, Ben. Paul"

"Hired Agustin to point and rebuild an existing stone wall. In addition, there were other repairs to be done to existing steps and cap. He did a terrific job on the initial work order and we extended the scope of the work to include other repairs. His price was competitive and he was very professional, friendly and courteous. He made sure everything was cleaned up after completion. Would definitely recommend him and would absolutely hire him again."

"Yovanni and his team at Y & C Landscaping and Construction did an amazing job transforming our backyard! They flattened the hill, cleared all the trees and bushes, built a beautiful retaining wall, added fresh loam, and installed a brand new lawn. The backyard looks absolutely beautiful, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. They were professional, hardworking, and paid attention to every detail. I highly recommend Y & C Landscaping and Construction!"

Wall Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Options include concrete, stone, brick, and wood, tailored for specific design needs.

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.
