"Walter and his crew are fantastic. The are the ultimate in Professionalism and customer service.

"We hired Antonio about 2 years ago. His work was fine, but he was inconsistent in his communication, and unreliable about showing up when he said he would. He also refused to out us on a regular schedule, and instructed us to just call him, but then he did not return calls. We ended up hiring another company. This morning he was doing work for a neighbor at 7:30 a.m., and blocking our shared 1-lane road. I asked if he could pull his truck over so I could pass, and he was rude and dismissive. My husband came out and Antonio (the owner) became aggressive with him and screamed â  just go around!â  (There absolutely was not room). This person is unprofessIonal, rude, and aggressive."

"Working with Chuck and Jose has been awesome. We started our journey by having a pool installed in our back yard by Leesure Pools. We then had a landscape architect draw plans for both back and front yard incorporating the pool. This allowed us to get landscaper quotes using the same drawing. Lifescapes Landscpaping was selected. Working with Chuck and Jose yielded a great surprise. Chuck took our two dimensional drawings (that cost $800) and turned it into 3 dimensional PDF (at no cost to us before we even selected them). This sold us and we saw problems with the $800 paper design that we didn't see before. The landscape elements that Chuck and Jose did are as follows: Concrete walkway/driveway Brick patio/walkway indoor fire place Stucco whole house Gravel Custom Pergola with swing Custom fencing with gates Custom porch T&G ceiling Custom Corbels Metal roof Light fixtures Lanscape lights Grass lawn Sprinklers and drip Landscape plants. Painting This company did anything we threw at them and at a reasonable price. They stayed within budget and put features in that would have cost more. Jose was very patient with our design demands. Jose used pictures given to him of porch covers an pergolas to bring Chucks 3D drawings to life. The results are everything we hoped for. Well done guys!!!"

Originally scheduled for August 27th the installation was moved to the 29th. The crew arrived a little after 10AM and did an EXCELLENT job!!!! Took a little over an hour and a half and it looks great. Thank you."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

The lifespan of a retaining wall varies based on its particular material, whether it was properly installed, how well it’s maintained, and your local climate. Concrete, stone, and brick retaining walls last the longest, with concrete lasting between 50 and 100 years on average. Brick tends to last the longest, with a minimum of one century, under the right conditions. 

Timber retaining walls can start to deteriorate at 20 years, depending on the wood quality, but in the best case, they can last 40 years. Pressure-treated wood retaining walls last 30 years on average.

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.

Poured concrete is likely the cheapest way to build a retaining wall, as this material costs anywhere from $6 to $8 per square foot. The next best budget-friendly option is to use landscaping timbers. These timbers are great for DIY projects, as they don’t require tools to successfully build a retaining wall. Landscape timber costs around $10 to $14 per square foot. Depending on your chosen garden style, you can also go with natural stones or concrete blocks. Natural stones can be expensive if you buy them, but they’re a lot less costly if you can source them from your property.
