"Outstanding once again! Nicolas always comes through with exceptional work and great customer service. Back in 2014, I had Nicolas install a paver patio with a retaining wall. Now, in 2021, I’ve decided that it was time to add onto the patio along the side of my house. Nicolas and crew did a fantastic job as usual! The side of the house now looks great, has really opened up and now drains the way it should. Nicolas is my go to person for these projects, give him a call!"

"I needed my driveway patched after having a section cut out to repair a leaking water line. I found the company on Angi. I emailed on a Saturday afternoon, had a call from Luna within 2 hours, & an appt was scheduled for Sunday morning for an estimate. He arrived promptly, gave me an estimate. He had checked weather forecast to see when it could be done. By Thursday afternoon, the job was completed."

"Marcos and his team are fantastic! Marcos contacted me the same day that I requested a project quote. He came out to the property, and answered all my questions regarding installing a retaining wall between my house and the neighbor's house. He outlined each step that needed to be done in order to install a new retaining wall that would drain properly. He and his team removed an old timber retaining wall and prepared the slope for a new wall. This meant they had to excavate the slope, remove tree stumps and remove old chunks of concrete and rebar from the area. Once the area was prepared, they dug out a trench. Each day, they cleaned up the area, and sent pictures of the daily progress. The new retaining wall runs the length of the driveway, following the slope for erosion prevention. It is 90 ft long, 3-4 ft high, with a French drain. In addition to the retaining wall, Marcos's team was able to re-grade the back yard and removed an overgrown Island in the front yard. I highly recommend his company! He is very professional & skilled. All of his crew are very polite and hard workers."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

Railroad ties can be good for retaining walls, but it depends on the area. They have a desirable rustic look and are durable. The problem is they’re treated with creosote, a preservative the EPA says poses a risk to humans and wildlife. Over time, the preservative seeps out of the wood and into the ground. Many areas have banned the use of creosote-treated wood on residential properties. If your area does allow it, never use railroad ties near an edible garden or drinking water source. Instead, use wood that’s treated with an EPA-approved preservative or a wood-alternative composite material.

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.

If you've decided you'd like to skip the cost of restoring a brick exterior wall after considering whether you should repair or replace brick on your house, you can consider installing fiber cement siding over brick for a cost of $2 to $6 per square foot. When done properly, cement siding over brick offers a durable, low-maintenance option that can actually reduce your home's energy costs. It's also attractive. However, improper installation or installation over heavily compromised brick can cause water damage.
