"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"

"Got 4 business names from Angi's. I contracted Edwin to remove my very old, falling apart front walkway and retaining wall to install new. From the start I found him very knowledgeable about his work, really easy to approach, was comfortable talking with and so helpful with making decisions throughout the entire project. Super nice business to work with. These guys worked continuously through the job making sure it was done professionally and was what I was looking for. Like any project changes will come up. He communicated with me every step of the way while keeping within the price range that was originally given to me. "WHAT A TRANSFORMATION". They did a fantastic job. I am so happy and impressed with the outcome. I hope he uses my before and after pics so everyone can see the amazing constructing he and his crew can do. All my neighbors' heads are turning and one already has him under contract. I'm keeping his sign up to let others know who did the work. Hands down I will recommend him to all who are looking for the many jobs this guy can do."

"Henry responded to my inquiry in record time. He said what he was going to do and he worked diligently until the job was done. He was straightforward and kept me informed. He was neat with his work. He made our brick wall and columns look so much better. Henry is a very skilled Mason and I would hire him with no hesitation."

"Excellent service. The job changed on site due to rocks in the way. They cut them out and finished the install. The land edges they filed in nicely so it looked manicured! Done quickly and professionally. The crew was very nice. Definitely will hire again. Cost was appropriate and less than many other estimates i got. So very pleased!"

"I recently hired them two remove two large pine trees, one was hit by lightning and was a threat to fall on my house. They were great to work with. They did a great job thoroughly cleaned the yard after, the crew was friendly and professional. I will use them again for landscaping or if I need another tree taken down."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Each design is different, so we can’t say definitively if you’ll need a dedicated drainage system in place for a two-foot retaining wall. However, you can likely skip the drainage, as this project is typically served for walls that are 4 feet tall or more. Even with a relatively low wall, consider drainage if you are building on top of clay or poor-draining soil types or if there are buried water sources nearby, like a well used for other outdoor garden projects.

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.

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.

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, including patterns, finishes, and plant integration for aesthetic enhancement.
