"It went fabulous! My request was that they pull out the bath/shower combo, and that they do their best not to damage the toilet and tile. They did exactly that! the custom built shower is a couple of inches wider than a standard shower, but it matched up perfectly with the floor tile. They replaced the pipes and moisture barrier. The work was exquisite. I was very pleased! The men who did the work cleaned up after themselves each night. They were extremely careful, and the work was great!"

"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

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.

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.

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.

Poured concrete is often the cheapest material for a retaining wall, costing around $6 to $8 per square foot. Other budget-friendly options include vinyl and landscaping timbers, which range from $10 to $15 per square foot; landscaping timbers are particularly well-suited for DIY projects. Untreated timber and railroad ties are a step up in price, starting at $15 to $25 per square foot. Natural stones can also be a cost-effective choice if you can source them from your own property, but they can be expensive to purchase. High-end materials like steel are typically the most expensive but offer superior durability and aesthetics.

There are contractors specifically trained in the design and construction of retaining walls. Retaining wall contractors are skilled at dealing with the soil on your property and assessing what kind of drainage should be installed. They will recommend the best materials to use for the project and can handle the processing of permits by local authorities.
