"They came when they said they were going to and they finished when they said they were going to. The price was fair and reasonable. They cleaned up behind themselves and left no trash. I would absolutely hire them again."

"Garrett arrived on time for our free estimate and was very knowledgeable, answering all our questions. Quote was reasonable and all-inclusive. The wait was less than 2 weeks and he and his crew of 4 were respectful, skilled and quick. Our patio was completed in less than 2 days. We’re thrilled with Brock’s and plan to hire them again. Thanks Garrett and team for a stellar job. We’re enjoying our new patio!"

"The guy that owns this business is a super nice person and the finished work is great. However, they left a pile of roots and dirt in my front yard that the town would not pick up. He said that they would get it but something would always come up...working late or other jobs. What I'm not a paying customer? There was no problem cashing my checks. I didn't try to low ball him on the quote. Anyway, I loaded and Jules of the debris myself. Also, they added a parking pad which I wanted but put a curve on it which causes me to have to run over the area where I'm now trying to grow grass. If I park my truck in the drive and have my wife park on the pad, it's tight trying to get her car onto the pad because of the length of the truck. You shouldn't have to be so careful pulling into your own driveway and inching tour car along so as to not hit the other vehicle. I contacted him about this concern and he said that he did not take the length of the truck into consideration. I told him it was tight but doable. After trying to park various ways, it remains an issue. I emailed him a couple of days later to express the same concern, but received no reply. I choose not to pursue this further so as to not shred my nerves. I will hire someone else to straighten that curve at a later date. To summarize, work and speed of work is good. Paying 8 grand to leave debris in your yard is bad. Sorry, would not recommend based on this and the weird curve."

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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. 

Sand and gravel are two suitable options for filling behind a retaining wall. If you’re building your own retaining wall, you’ll complete this part of the process—known as backfilling—after you finish laying the blocks. Make sure not to skip it—otherwise, you could wind up with drainage issues, which can cause your retaining wall to collapse.

With foundation walls, the slab on grade and force at the top of the wall is resisted by flooring. With retaining walls, the force at the top of the wall is not resisted.

Yes, you can use cinder blocks for many purposes, including retaining walls, foundations, garage walls, and fences. Building a cinder block retaining wall costs between $60 and $200 per linear foot, including materials and professional labor. For a 30-foot-long retaining wall, the cost ranges from $1,800 to $6,000.
