"It has been over a year since Tommy completely transformed our back yard. He rebuilt and added to a huge 75' x 10' retaining wall, then put in a gorgeous paver patio, front steps, and a walking path. Finally he stuccoed the entire lower level of our house. This was a massive project that he and his crew completed ahead of schedule. Tommy and his crew were always on time and worked diligently all day long, no matter how terrible the weather was. We trusted him with all his suggestions and advice, and he proved to be extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of this multi-faceted project. The end result of his hard work exceeded our very high expectations. If you are looking for someone who provides top-notch work and is a pleasure to deal with every day, choose Masonry by Tommy based in Lodi, NJ. They will leave you as impressed and grateful as we are!"

"Tony & crew did an excellent job building a new patio for me. Happy with the result I engaged them in replacing my retaining wall. They were accommodating of my plans and also provided expert suggestions that improved the overall look and value of the construction. They even respond when I call them for minor maintenance works and they show up. Many other contractors will run once they get their money and don't want to be bothered anymore."

"I had a photo of a brick pattern I saw in NC and shopped it around to several companies. Thiago was prompt in responding to my inquiry and providing an estimate. After a clarifications, we signed a contract and work began within a few months. The crew was super courteous and easy to work with. Any issues or concerns I had during the installation were immediately addressed without any hesitation or pushback. I am very pleased with the finished product."

"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."

"Albert was great to work with. I am so happy with the work he did (installed molding, painted a room, patched a wall and painted it, adjust cabinets, hung a baby gate, secured and caulked loose pedestal sinks). I will definitely use his services again and I highly recommend him."

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.

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.

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.

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.
