"Leo and team replaced our driveway, installed a patio, and built a retaining wall with an enclosed fence. They were on time, worked incredibly hard, and did a great job. He was flexible, understood our needs and overall a very nice guy. Highly recommend."

"Absolutely love our new patio and retaining wall. We also had the team clean up under our deck and add river stone. Everything was done impeccably. The team was very kind and hardworking. They worked through rain and colder temps and worked from 730am-6pm. Bernie came out to provide the quote and gave me great advice and was always available to call/text for any questions or concerns between the first call and until the work was completed. He also helped us coordinate with the landscapers who could help us with our irrigation system since it needed to be put back following the patio installation. It was a pleasure to work with with them. They were recommended to us by friends and I would definitely recommend/hire them again."

"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"

"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."

"Ultimately, the decision was made to retain more of a horticultural service in order to address removal of some invasive plants and blight issues with fruit trees in the yard. With that said, these folks were prompt in getting back to me right away, and I met with a gentleman named Steve. He was so friendly, helpful, thorough, knowledgeable and very professional. It is evident that they really care about what they do! Honestly, they would be my choice for maintenance services, so I will very likely reach out to them again in the future once the plant issues are resolved."

"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."

"Highy recommend Dave and his team at Kingsley Improvements. Installed a beautiful new vinyl fence for us in just one day. The guys were a very long day in the scorching heat to get it done and my wife and I couldn't be happier. Very professional, courteous, respectful, knowledgeable and responsive."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

Through proper drainage solutions and compacting the foundation soil.

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.  

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. 

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.
