"I was impressed on the first meeting to discuss project. Cruz Hardscapes arrived totally prepared to start and finish the required work. 2 days from start to finish and we had a beautiful, functional, and well made sidewalk. Will definitely work with Cruz Hardscapes for any future projects."

"The initial start date was delayed by a couple of weeks since he was backlogged.  They did a good job of removing the old landscaping and overgrown ivy.  The stone walls were well done and the work went fairly well.  There were a few problems with broken irrigation pipes and cut wires but all those issues were taken care and were back to working well.  There was also a broken shutter that took over 4 weeks to get replaced but that was also taken care of.
The real issue I had was with the original quote and price that I agreed too.  I was offered to reduce the quoted price by $250, which I agreed to but there was no mention of reducing the number of plants in the landscape design.  When I went over the list of plants on my design with the final job, there were 4 plants that were missing and Billy stated that those had been removed from the original design which added up to the $250.  I told him that I had no idea that the plants were removed, there was no update to the landscape plans to indicate the removal.  He offered to add the plants for an additional charge which I declined.  I told him that I was not pleased with this surprise and he apologized for the issue but could not add the plants at no charge.
I know he had a lot of issues with his staff and salesman but I cannot recommend him based on my experience.

Retaining Wall Installers questions, 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.

Even if you think you know how to build a retaining wall theoretically, doing the actual work is a completely different story. There are lots of nuances in building retaining walls, and the slightest oversight can compromise their integrity. Therefore, we recommend you hire a pro to build, repair, or replace retaining walls.

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.

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.

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.
