"After receiving 3 quotes for replacing my deteriorating retaining wall, I chose J&R Chavez Landscaping. Positive reviews, the owner’s assessment, and a reasonable estimate convinced me. I accepted their bid on December 29, 2025. J&R submitted the permit request two days later. Unfortunately, the permit was approved on February 13, 2026, outside contractor control. Work began on February 16, with a good crew working when weather permitted. Delays due to quite bad winter were unavoidable. They discovered the old wall lacked a proper footing so the estimate was adjusted to install a new footing. Jose was transparent about necessary adjustments. The installation took until April 4, 2026, due to weather delays and town inspections. I’m very pleased with the strong, well-drained wall. I enjoyed dealing with J&R Chavez Landscaping with two small issues, communication about delays could be improved and Jose never got back to me about some agreed post job landscaping. Still, great job."

"Soon after contacting Earth Friendly Services, Calvert County Maryland, Phil Murianka contacted me, set a time to evaluate and start the requested drywall repair work.  He was professional and timely.  The work was done quickly and with high quality.  It is obvious that he can do many home repairs and improvements, and he has home improvement work experience to solve unusual problems.  I have already requested more "handyman-type" work be done at my home by Earth Friendly Services.  This company is an asset to Calvert County and the surrounding areas.

"Adrian was great. The estimate was about $20,000 for the second story, composite deck we want which means that the project will be put off for a little while. We will probably get a couple other estimates for comparison at that point, but we were very happy with our consultation experience with Adrian."

"It went very well, Fernando was prompt, courteous and very professional. He constructed a low stone wall using materials previously gathered and did a wonderful job of fashioning them into an impressive and beautiful decorative wall. I intend to use him for additional work, and would gladly recommend his services to others."

"Don did a great job. I needed 2 vanity tops removed and new ones installed, plus a few other odd jobs (remove old door and hang a new one, chalk around kitchen counter, replace wax ring on 4 toilets). He was very nice, very responsive, and did a great job. I will use him again!  Highly recommended."

"We had a wonderful experience with Deck Cetera from start to finish.  My wife and I originally wanted to replace the decking on our 26 foot by 16 foot deck while keeping the existing foundation.  The existing deck was not very old (4 years,) but was built with poor quality wood and didn't survive the Annapolis weather too well.  We contacted a number of companies we researched off of Angie's List and began the meet and greet process.
The biggest issue my wife and I had was that we, like many other homeowners, were rather unsure as to what we wanted.  We knew we needed the decking replaced, but we wanted our yard to look nice and be useable.  I liked the idea of a portion of the deck being screened in and my wife liked the idea of a nice large patio that sits off the deck.
While most the companies we contacted did come speak with us and give us accurate estimates, none gave us as much help and detail as Deck Cetera did.  Jean from Deck Cetera came to our house no less than 4 times and each time she sat with us to discuss options, draw sketches of the yard, estimate cost, and make professional recommendations.  While the other companies we contacted were interested in quoting what we wanted, Jean from Deck Cetera was more interested in ensuring we were happy with our investment and that we were comfortable and happy with our design.
My wife and I must have gone through no less than 10 iterations of our yard design and Jean from Deck Cetera remained patient with us and was sure not to force us into any decisions or to act pushy in any way.  What we decided on was a 3-5 year plan that involved initially replacing the decking and building out the structure of the deck so that it could (in the future) support a screen room, as well a building a nice paver patio off the deck with a sitting wall. 
Deck Cetera had a crew out as soon as we made our decision and the work was done very quickly with no interference to our day-to-day activities.  The workers were extremely professional and the quality of the work is fantastic.  We were very pleased with our end result and will be sure to use them again in the future."

"Excellent! They're very realiable, prompt and showed up everyday. I wanted to be there throughout installation process so I requested that the stop work on occasions when I was going out of town. The rate for installation was cheaper than others I received and their work ethic is great along with the pride they take in providing good quality bricklaying. I highly recommend them. Very easy to communicate with and friendly workers who always gave insight on how I could improve the curb appeal to house. Will be looking forward to working with them more. Have some pillars and flagstone I want them to do. They provided pictures and references to other ones that attracted me into watching them in my dream home. Great group of guys and very hard working! Customer service was great no hidden fees every price was quoted from beginning to end and their estimate of materials needed was right on."

Retaining Wall Installers 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.

Most retaining wall installations can be finished in one to three weeks, but the timeline varies based on factors like wall size and material. The local climate and major weather events, such as storms or flooding, can also extend the project's timeline, as can any holds ups in the permitting process.

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.

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. 

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.
