Best retaining wall installation pros near Katonah, NY

"The project went extremely well. I can’t say enough about the professionalism shown by James Walsh and his magnificent crew. I called for an estimate after reading all the glowing reviews on Angie’s List. The fact that my location was in Northern Westchester was not an issue. He was very accommodating. We spoke about what I wanted and the ideas I had and he offered his opinion and sometimes alternative suggestions based on his vast experience. Due to changes in the weather, the start date was delayed, but James kept in touch throughout. On the first day, he and his crew came out to inspect the site and take measurements. They also manually broke up the concrete walkway...with sledge hammers?. For the next three days after that, they were here every morning at 7:30 am. His crew was amazing. They and James all worked together like a well oiled machine..not wasting any time. Their craftsmanship was outstanding! You could see the respect that they had for each other. James was great at finding solutions to potential problems. With the driveway apron, there was an issue with the depth of buried Verizon cables. With no info from 811, Verizon, or the City, I was ready to give up on the project. James was very encouraging saying that they would go very slowly and carefully and make it work somehow. In the end, we had no problem with the installation and it turned out beautifully. In another instance, the stone yard did not have the pavers that I’d chosen for the walkway and James went with me to select a new paver, offering valuable advice about the preferred size and layout suitable for my space. We selected a 3 piece paver set that neither of us had intended and it looks fantastic. He discovered that, because of a height difference, we could not use the same pavers bordered by bluestone on the front door platform. We decided to just go with all bluestone on the platform to maintain a uniform height. After trying to brainstorm other options, James suggested a colored bluestone for the center. I was a little hesitant because I did not want the colors to clash. He reassured me that it was neutral enough to work. I trusted his judgement and it looks wonderful! James is a very trusting person. He asked for no money upfront or throughout the job...no 1/3 now, 1/3 halfway through, 1/3 at the end. With him it was simply he does what you ask him to do, and you pay him when he’s finished. That’s rare these days. There was no additional monies tacked on at the end of the job....even if he paid more for materials than anticipated. The costs were not passed on to the client. The job site was left immaculate. All debris was removed and even some that they didn’t generate! All in all, I would not hesitate to work with James and his crew again. They were very meticulous in every detail. You could see the pride that was taken in what they were doing. James is very lucky. He’s got one of the best crews around. At the end, he and I walked through to inspect each of the areas. James was very patient in answering all my questions and concerns. After that, it was “call me if there are any problems and I will come back and fix it” and they were gone. After having worked with James for a mere 4 days, I’m sure he meant it! You will not regret hiring Rock Solid General Contractors!"

"Frank and his team did an exceptional job replacing my retaining walls, front and rear steps, installing a backyard patio, replacing our front walkway and replacing our driveway. It was a big job and I'm so glad we went with his team. Frank has fair and honest pricing with top-notch work, his team was very respectful and hard working while going the extra mile to make sure everything looked just how we wanted it to. I can't recommend Moretti Landscaping enough!"

"Jose and his crew did a beautiful job installing retaining wall. Consummate professional, clear communicator. Left the job site clean and tidy. I will hire again."

"I hired Alex Masonry to remove and rebuild a retaining wall that was leaning. After some discussion, I decided to expand the project to include new bluestone caps and to re-do my cracked concrete walkway with pavers. Alex and his crew did an outstanding job. Alex is extremely knowledgeable, personable and a pleasure to work with. His pricing is very reasonable. He and his team did a great job. Hard workers, with great attention to detail. I would highly recommend Alex Masonry!"

"Absolutely brilliant service, can't recommend more highly. Punctual, quick, quality work, responsive, diligent and made great suggestions. Asphalt driveway and travel trailer pad look awesome. Temporary fix for another driveway crinkling while we sort out retaining wall was excellent also! Highly recommend."

"Fantastic!!! Highly recommend Terra Fernandez Contracting. Price was right and workmanship was beyond perfection. I will rehire again this spring for more renovations I have in mind."

"Professional and courteous team, respected our home. Quick response and scheduling work, within two weeks of initial estimate request. Rebuilt front steps, using existing stones. Performed work safely. Also repaired back wall, removed and replaced broken cement stucco. Work completed on time, cleaned up after work complete. Competitive pricing."

"This company did a tremendous job in tearing down a railroad tie wall and building a new retaining wall on my property as well as steps leading from the retaining wall. The owner of the company was present on a daily basis and very responsive to all of our needs. They are true Craftsman and they did excellent work and kept the job site clean on a daily basis. They were also near the lowest bid of multiple contractors that I reached out to. I would certainly recommend them to others and I would use this company for future projects."

"Manuel did an excellent job in installing all new doors. We were very satisfied and will hire again for future jobs"

"Frank's crew expanded my driveway footprint, built beautiful stone retaining walls, and finished the job with the best paving work I have seen. A tip of the hat to the crew that was hard working and polite, and who worked through the extremely hot weather of late late August. Best Value out there. Thanks for the great work!"
