"I have worked with Ramiro Perez from Perez Landscaping for several years now. He has built large and small retaining walls, installed patio and driveway pavers, built stairs, replaced fences, fixed sprinkler systems and completed other work for me both in Reno and Tahoe. He has ALWAYS provided great service at a fair price and completed the work in a timely manner. He also stands behind his work 100%. Ramiro and his crew are easy to work with. He is honest, reliable and has a great work ethic. I highly recommend him."

"Superb Workmanship! I had a retaining wall, and a paver deck done by this company, and both jobs were above my expectations. Very impressive. They were punctual, organized, and the clean up was immaculate. Their quote was extremely reasonable. I highly recommend this company ‼️"

"Frank and his team did a great job. I obtained numerous quotes and the reason I hired Frank was because he treated me respectfully and did not act like I was an unknowledgable female as others did. He is very responsive and provides excellent customer service. We even had an unexpected snow storm so the team went above and beyond late at night covering up my driveway to protect our new concrete. I highly recommend this company!"

"The preparation work was done properly. Overall, the concrete work was very good, but a few spots could have had a better finish (concrete retaining wall surface was not completely textured). The pads had to be perfectly level and not sloped for structures, and this was done correctly. The only concern is the less than consistent communications with the project coordinator. It took several calls to their office manager to get the project leader to either contact me or set up the workers for my site. There was also a delay from finishing the prep work and the start of pouring because another job had priority over mine. The job took longer than planned, and the crew had to work late into one evening to finish the installation. Clean up was performed the next day. Overall, I am satisfied with the work, and the price was reasonable."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

The lifespan of a retaining wall varies based on its material, installation quality, maintenance, and local climate, with an average range of 20 to 100 years. Retaining walls made from durable materials like concrete, stone, and brick generally last a minimum of 50 years. Concrete walls typically last between 50 and 100 years, while brick can last for over a century in ideal conditions. Timber retaining walls can last from 20 to 40 years, depending on the wood quality, and pressure-treated wood walls average around 30 years. It is important to note that a retaining wall can fail prematurely if it was poorly constructed, for example, with inefficient footings or without necessary rebar reinforcements.

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

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.

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.
