"They did absolutely beautiful work. The wall looks wonderful and better than I imagined. The team came on-time, completed the work in a day, and I paid the amount that the estimate came in at. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again!"

"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."

"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."

"We hired them to build a retaining wall to level out our sloped backyard and install a new patio. They recommended natural bluestone bordered by classic bricks, and wow?what a difference! The stonework is flawless, perfectly level, and handles heavy rain with zero drainage issues. It looks like a high-end resort back here now. Worth every penny."

"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."

"Nayol and crew were just amazing! I now have a beautiful new bathroom. Their work is exceptional - so conscientious and attention to every detail. The tile work is just beautiful. Everything was installed with such care. Nayol is so easy to work with - communication throughout the project, answered all my questions, offered good suggestions, attended to any concerns I had. Crew always pleasant. Took care to clean up at the end of each work day. Very reliable, they really care about doing a quality job and are so nice. Went above and beyond. Tito & Son Construction are the ultimate professionals. Highly recommend. Would definitely use again."

"We have used D&S Landscaping for a number of years since moving to Metuchen. We couldn't be happier with the level of service and responsiveness from Don and his team. They have such great ideas and are always willing to work within your budget by offering different options. We recently had Don and his team install a paver patio in our backyard. Don provided a plan on how we should lay it out and showed us different paver combinations. We are thrilled with the finished product. I HIGHLY recommend D&S Landscaping for any Landscaping or Patio needs.......They even plow snow!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Generally, a railroad tie retaining wall consisting of a single line of ties should be between 3 and 4 feet tall—and the height often tops out at around 6 feet. You can go taller, but you may need additional footings and reinforcements, including a second layer of railroad ties to support the added weight of the soil it’s holding back.
