"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"

"This is the second time I hired Henry, and I'm so glad I did. He meticulously installed herringbone thin brick in our sunroom and it's just beautiful. He takes a lot of pride in his work, and it shows. Highly recommend!"

"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 made many suggestions that were an improvement to the work. His quotation was detailed and explinations extreemly helpful. The work consisted of cleaning the stone , removing and repalcing motar to the 100+ year old pudding stone retaining wall, encapsulationg the top of the wall, and repairing the entrance stoop with new granite steps and platform and natural stone risers. Jerry worked with his hard working team every day until the completion two weeks later. The wall is next to a city sidewalk and during and at the end of each day the site was meticuously cleaned. The overall change in the appearance to the wall and stoop is remarkable."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Depending on who you hire to build a retaining wall, the average cost, including demolition and reconstruction, for a 50-foot wall that's 4 feet in height is between $7,000 and $24,000.

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.

If you don’t backfill a retaining wall—either at all or adequately enough—the wall won’t drain well, and water will be able to pass through it. Poor drainage will lead to a warped wall or a buildup of hydrostatic pressure, which can eventually collapse your retaining wall. If you have particularly sloped land, consult a structural engineer to ensure your hardscaping is adding value to your home.

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.

They prevent soil erosion, add flat space, and enhance property aesthetics.
