"I highly recommend Masonry by Thomas without any hesitation. Thomas answered my call immediately and arrived within 24 hours to give me an estimate. His excellent communication and responsiveness made for a quick and seamless agreement. He and his team completed the repair of our 110-year-old stone retaining wall with expert craftsmanship and attention to detail. The final result is stunning and honors the history of the home. I would trust him with any and all masonry work. Call Thomas first."

"Vinny and his team replaced a retaining wall on my back patio. Throughout the process, Vinny was flexible in his approach to the project and listened to our requests for specific materials and style of the wall. His pricing was very reasonable, and he was responsive to communication by phone and text. His team arrived on schedule, worked hard, built exactly what we had agreed to, and cleaned up afterwards. I am pleased with the finished product and would hire NJ Select again!"

"I recently had a new roof installed by Pro Build USA, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial inspection to the final cleanup, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. They walked me through the entire process, answered all my questions, and provided a fair estimate with no hidden fees. The crew arrived on time, worked diligently, and completed the job faster than expected without compromising quality. The new roof looks fantastic, and I can already tell it’s made a huge difference in my home’s appearance and energy efficiency. Highly recommend Pro Build USA to anyone needing roof installation or repair. It’s rare to find a company that takes pride in their work like this."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

While vinyl is the least costly material for building a retaining wall, the most cost-effective method is to use wood or concrete blocks for a DIY retaining wall under 2 feet tall. Wood is inexpensive but lasts 20 years or more with care. Concrete can cost a little more but is stronger and will last longer with less maintenance.

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.

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.

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.

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.
