"Eddie was great to work with! We had a limited time frame to adhere to town inspections and Eddie and his team knew exactly what we needed and quickly got the job done. The results were great and even the inspector acknowledged the impressive repair. They were able to put a knocked out garage wall back on the foundation and repair the interior dry wall. I would recommend this company for any professional contract work due to their reasonable price, ease to work with and quality of work."

"When we first sat down with Joe from Masonry Hardscapes, my wife and I knew he was the right guy for the job. He was polite, professional, easy to talk to and most importantly, he listened. We had a dream plan to extend our front porch and install paver walkways, a paver driveway, a paver patio, a stone retaining wall and cap everything with Boral/Westlake cultured stone veneer. It was going to be a big job and we really needed somebody to hold our hand (so to speak) and walk us through the best way to plan and complete the project, and that is exactly what Joe did. He met with us several times before the project began and explained everything to us in detail. The job went very smooth throughout, the men were incredibly professional- always on time, hardworking, polite and most importantly, the craftsmanship was second to none. We were so happy with the quality and price that we added many other aspects to the job; some were our ideas and some were great suggestions from Joe. We added a cultured stone veneer chimney, stone veneer wainscoting to the foundation of the house, stone piers and a wonderful custom stone veneer mailbox (that was Joeâ s idea). Joe was very focused on doing the job correctly and completely, he made sure to include dry wells and proper drainage to all areas of the job as well. Anytime there was an issue of any kind, Joe was flexible and worked with us to find a solution. Joe even installed PVC fencing for us to complete the project- including putting matching stone under the fences where needed- this looks beautiful also. I almost forgot to mention that they also ripped and replaced my entire front concrete sidewalks and installed an absolutely beautiful paver apron to match the rest of the project in the Cambridge Ledgestone 3 piece design kit in Limestone Quarry Blend color (smooth)/ no texture with the same 4 1/2 x 9 coal inlay. The compliments from everyone have literally been non stop and they always ask who did the work because it is so obvious that it was done correctly and with precision. What makes Joe and Masonry Hardscapes different from the rest, is not only the top quality craftsmanship, but also that he is ready to custom build whatever you want and he will work with you to figure it out. That is what he did with us and it turned out amazing. All in all, we couldnâ t be happier with the incredible job that Joe and his men did for us. It was a complete outdoor transformation of our home and Masonry Hardscapes did a fabulous job!"

"Torres Contracting helped us with installing a new sidewalk, paved driveway (with specific requirements re design), a side area for the garbage cans and cement for part of a back porch. We hired Tony and Torres Contracting after a lot of due diligence. Tony is a busy man and communicates efficiently by text. He and his daughter addressed all my questions and concerns by phone, email and text. Further the team was excellent- including Juan, Edwin and several others— honest, technically very good and incredibly hard working especially in very hot weather! Torres Contracting was fair on pricing, the project was done in a la efficient manner and the work product is excellent. I am grateful we hired Tony and his company and I highly recommend them as a trustworthy company that does excellent work! Bottom line: Responsive, excellent work, fair price, active communication to understand expectations! 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, answered by experts

Most railroad tie retaining walls have a life span of 20 to 30 years, though you may need to replace your wall sooner if it’s repeatedly exposed to heavy rain, runoff, and excess moisture. Railroad ties are typically treated with creosote, which makes them much more durable than untreated wood. Though they last longer, they don’t last forever. For the most longevity, make sure your retaining wall has a sturdy base and steel reinforcements. You should also install drainage to direct water away from the wall.

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.

Through proper drainage solutions and compacting the foundation soil.

Poured concrete is often the cheapest material for a retaining wall, costing around $6 to $8 per square foot. Other budget-friendly options include vinyl and landscaping timbers, which range from $10 to $15 per square foot; landscaping timbers are particularly well-suited for DIY projects. Untreated timber and railroad ties are a step up in price, starting at $15 to $25 per square foot. Natural stones can also be a cost-effective choice if you can source them from your own property, but they can be expensive to purchase. High-end materials like steel are typically the most expensive but offer superior durability and aesthetics.

The longevity of flood walls depends on how they were constructed, but most wood, gravel, and cement flood walls last 10 years. While aluminum flood walls may cost far more initially, they can be a good investment as they can last decades and will not be damaged by exposure to the elements.
