"Vinny was great to work with. He had some suggestions and was not pushing to up the price. He did exactly what was disused for the price we discussed. His crew did an excellent job redoing a paver walkway, installing a new retaining wall and a new paver patio that was straight, level and has the perfect pitch for water run off. I would definitely use him again and recommend him to anyone else."

"I had a job that was very sensitive and required an operator that was amazingly precise. It was excavating next to a building with zero tolerance for error. I also had a job that required some consultation on what could be done and how to do it. This job was a new pond. Alex easily completed BOTH jobs ON TIME!! First, he made all the work look so easy with his finesse and control over the machinery. When he completed the wall, it looked as if it was dug with a laser! The pond ended up being much harder than I thought. Terribly rocky soil, extreme heat, and lots of vegetation to remove. Again, Alex made it look easy. I was dumbfounded at the amount of material he was able to move in such a short time. The last piece was the price. The estimate seemed too low. After seeing what Alex was able to do, I knew he was undercharging for his experience and expertise. The final bill was EXACTLY what Alex told me it would be. I cannot say enough good things about how he works. Note, he does not even throw out his trash in my garbage can, he takes it home with him."

"Top 1 Chimney Company replaced our roof and installed new flashing around the chimney. The team worked efficiently, protected our landscaping, and completed the project on schedule. The new roof looks amazing, and we haven’t had a single leak since. Highly recommend them for roof replacement and chimney flashing installation."

"I contacted Josh at C3 for a quote to prepare and build a flat, level, 18' by 14' base on a slope framed with 3 levels of 6 x 6 timbers to retain 3 individual layers of premium quality aggregate for superior drainage and soil stability. His design was to insure the driest base environment to install a shed that will last far longer than other contractors I spoke with. I couldn't have been happier with my choice of C3. He and his crew were very professional and detailed in the work performed. Always on time and mindful of the surrounding work area and exceptionally detailed in their final cleanup of the site. I would recommend Josh and his company for this type of work and larger projects due to his commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction."

"

They came to cut down one tree as I had the $249 for 400 worth of tree service I believe it was. However, I got an estimate for another very big tall tree that the tip had already cracked and broken off during a storm. It was a disaster waiting to happen, they gave a very good price for the, and suggested I clear the entire area. The best part was when they were done the replace wood retainers that the previous owners must have removed and never replaced. The filled the area with the wood chips from the job and lined the area with the wood retainers along the perimeter. That was above and beyond and I feel that I got a good job for a good price.

The only issue I had was that they told that putting the wood chips down it would smoother the unwanted growth and kill it, which is why I allowed the wood chips. However, that was not the case it started growing back. If I knew I would not have allowed the wood chips until the growth was treated to be killed. As it is right now my lawn guy will no longer mow the growth as he use to because of the unsettled wood chips that the growth is in. I have to figure out what to do now.

"My husband and I bought a fixer upper home 3 years ago. Over the past three years MTL contracting has done each and every update in our new home. From the very beginning, Matt has been amazing! His work ethic is clear as he is punctual and hardworking throughout each and every project. His work is flawless! We could not have been happier with the results of each and every project. From new flooring, to installation projects, to painting jobs and much more, Matt is a truly gifted contractor. There really isn't anything he can't do. I appreciated his honesty and overall professionalism. Every estimate and project was done in a timely manner. My husband and I find comfort in the fact that Matt will always get back to us promptly. Matt was always willing to go the extra mile to ensure the job was done correctly and beautifully. MTL Contracting is the best choice!!!!"

"After meeting with a number of other contractors for our project, we decided to hire MD Construction. We hired MD Construction to replace the failing retaining wall in our driveway as well as installing steps to a paved pathway that leads to our yard. We met with Miguel (the owner of the MD Construction) and he is very knowledgeable with the process and materials involved. They gave us a great price and provided us with a copy of their insurance and NJ contractor’s license. When they started the work, we had very bad rainstorms the entire week, which made their job even harder. However, they were diligent and professional throughout the process and completed the project on time and within budget. The wall looks great and is an appealing improvement to the home. We will be using them again to replace our patio in our backyard."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Rebar is a steel support that goes inside concrete to prevent structural damage over time. Concrete is susceptible to impact, weight, and tension. By inserting rebar into the concrete during the installation, you can help extend its lifespan and avoid hazardous situations where the foundation of your home gives way to tensile forces.

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.

To maintain the integrity of your landscape, a retaining wall must be installed if the slope of the angle exceeds 35 degrees. The lean of the wall must be 1 inch per 12 inches in height to disperse the weight of the soil uniformly and guarantee the correct drainage of the soil.

Each design is different, so we can’t say definitively if you’ll need a dedicated drainage system in place for a two-foot retaining wall. However, you can likely skip the drainage, as this project is typically served for walls that are 4 feet tall or more. Even with a relatively low wall, consider drainage if you are building on top of clay or poor-draining soil types or if there are buried water sources nearby, like a well used for other outdoor garden projects.

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.
