"Prior to these guys saving our property, we foolishly hired an under-qualified contractor to install a large patio and retaining wall system. It turned out to be a never ending nightmare from the start that left us with pooling water everywhere, mud leaking thru walls and stairs that were falling apart. We hired Classical Pavers to hopefully resolve all our issues, and boy did they deliver. These guys are true landscape engineers! They uprooted the previously installed pavers, flawlessly re-pitched and graded the base, planned for all the possible drainige issues that might come up, and completely cleaned the pavers and property of any remnants of their work. I could not be happier with the professionalism of every level of their services. I would absolutely recommend them, and only use them for any and all future projects."

"There are not enough good words for me to describe the job Ray, his son Nick and their team did on my project. I am somewhat of a perfectionist and these guys surpassed my expectations. They worked with me throughout the entire process and kept me informed about what they would be doing. I described my vision to Ray and he helped me select materials and a design that would be in my budget. It was a very labor-intensive job as I had a 6 inch thick cement patio and walkway that had to be jackhammered to break up and then carted away.As they worked, they took their time, checking levels often to make sure everything was perfect. The job they did was amazing. It took them almost 3 weeks to complete as it was a very large job so they definitely did not rush through it to get it done. Both the Retaining Wallâ s as well as the patio will be standing long after Iâ m gone ð Ray was very good at getting back to me very quickly when I had questions. He was flexible when I asked for changes to the scope of the project and was very fair with additional pricing. We will be doing a lot more landscape and hardscape work around the house and RMP landscape will be the only contractor I use for this type of work moving forward. I have had issues with contractors in the past, particularly those who use subcontractors. I was happy when I asked Ray if he did so and he told me no, that he had his own team to do all the work. I would recommend Ray and his team with hesitation, If you were looking for a contractor to do any type of landscaping or hardscaping work. Their prices are fair, communication is great, and job is top quality. Weâ ve already received many compliments on the improvements that Rays team made to our property. We sat out on our new patio this weekend with a glass of wine and watched the sun set. First toast to Ray and team for a job well done!"

"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."

"Tito & Son Construction did an outstanding job painting my apartment. I was hesitant at first but after making contact with them I have nothing but great things to say about them. They took their time to prepare the apartment first before painting. They made sure my carpet didn t get any paint stains by covering the floors, etc. I had so many questions regarding the paint quality and type to use on my apartment walls. They were there in every step of the way to make my decisions a lot easier. I highly recommend them, five stars all across the board. Highly professional and best customer service. Thank you Tito & Son Construction!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

Costs depend on material type, labor rates, and additional features like decorative finishes or reinforcement.

Depending on who you hire to build a retaining wall, the average cost, including demolition and reconstruction, for a 50-foot wall that's 4 feet in height is between $7,000 and $24,000.

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.

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.
