"I hired er walls in 2018 to remedy damage done by previous excavator to install a retaining wall that left my neighborhood road in jeopardy of collapsing. They promptly arrived on the job to begin the work of fixing the problem that was left by the previous excavator. Excellent communication with me every step of the way through the process. So pleased with the work that I have had them back to do other projects over the last couple of years. Has constructed my retaining walls to last a lifetime with no further worries or maintenance. Excellent work and a truly good outcome in correcting a problem caused by someone else. I highly recommend this company."

"It was excellent. It turned out nicer that I imagined. They workers were very friendly. Pat Stollenmaier, the principle, was very helpful on working on the design and was very interested in making sure the finished design was what I wanted. We had quiet a bit of rain so the work got delayed but not because of anything they could control. I plan to use them again in the future"

Customers say: Super punctual

"Hired ZR Landscaping to rebuild a retaining wall with paver patio that was poorly installed just four years earlier by another contractor. Zach diagnosed poor drainage behind the wall as the reason the wall base was washing out. Zach had a detailed, competitively priced written proposal to me in under 24 hours. He offered to reuse some of the existing blocks to reduce the total cost. Our project was scheduled just a few weeks out, not months out like a couple other contractors had proposed. The crew was punctual and very hard-working for a solid four days. Crew leader Julio answered all our questions and kept us informed through of each level of the new installation. Zach came back by himself to see the completed project, answer a few questions and make sure we were satisfied."

"WNC Stone Works provided exceptional workmanship and customer service for a small landscaping project. James, the landscaper, assessed the area and suggested perennials that will thrive there. The promptness and professionalism of James (and Megan at the office) were much appreciated. The project was completed in just a few hours, exceeding our expectations and replacing an eyesore with a beautiful garden area to be enjoyed year after year."

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, answered by experts

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.  

Proper design and construction prevent erosion and add structural stability to landscapes.

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. 

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.

Regular inspection for issues like cracks or leaning and ensuring drainage stays clear.
