"VRN Masonry repaired our patio, repaired the block supporting our garage wall, and poured concrete to fill in under our front porch. They responded quickly and meet our need to get the work done quickly. The quality of the work is very good. We are pleased with the work they did--it certainly met our needs. They also cleaned up well when the work was completed."

"I honestly cannot say enough good things about Hard Worx Concrete. They installed an outdoor basketball court for us, and they did an absolutely beatiful job. Everyone who has seen it wants to put one up in their own yard now! What really stands out about Hard Worx is their experience and their willingness to go the extra mile. We needed metal work removed before we could install the court and they did that. We needed help installing the actual pole and hoop and they did that for us as well. Roger even identified a missing part right away and made an extra trip to install it after it arrived. The job was essentially done, but he went out of his way to make sure our court was fully functional. Roger was so knowledgeable about every aspect of the job. He made special bevel cuts to enhance our playing experience and gave us multiple options for pigment and hoop placement. Hard Worx Concrete are professional, kind, and experts in their field. We hope to use them again for future projects!"

"Two handymen came to perform a variety of odd jobs inside the house.  One of them was eager to get the job done right and he ended up redoing some of the work that the second had done incorrectly.  So, in the end, the work got done but it required careful oversight.  I would be willing to hire the first handyman again, but not the second.

Called and left me a message stating when  they would start, they called me again

 the morning of the service date to let me know when they would arrive. They arrived on time and proceeded to aerate and seed my lawn.


The excellence remains to be seen in whether or not the reseeding will take hold and a nice lawn appears.


Thanks so much.

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

To maintain the integrity of your landscape, a retaining wall must be installed if the slope of the angle exceeds 35 degrees. The lean of the wall must be 1 inch per 12 inches in height to disperse the weight of the soil uniformly and guarantee the correct drainage of the soil.

Generally, a railroad tie retaining wall consisting of a single line of ties should be between 3 and 4 feet tall—and the height often tops out at around 6 feet. You can go taller, but you may need additional footings and reinforcements, including a second layer of railroad ties to support the added weight of the soil it’s holding back.

Through proper drainage solutions and compacting the foundation soil.

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.

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.
