"The re-contouring of our driveway - a double-wide shared with our neighbor (this used to be Crane Street once upon a time) - caused a steep slope and some erosion from our yard into the new driveway, which was lower and smoother than the old one.  In addition, there was a curving gap between the lower part of the driveway and the front retaining wall at the sidewalk.  Plus, stone steps that came down from the yard into the middle of the re-contoured driveway area were interrupted by the new, lower driveway, ending now in a dirt slope.  Finally, further up the driveway there was an area that would have been an obvious step up into the front yard, but was now a foot high drop over a low stone wall someone had built a few years before us.

Burrell studied all of this with us, and made a drawing and suggestions, and saw he could utilize many of the flat stones that had been recovered from a recent garden renewal project we had done.  His quote seemed fair - and less than a ballpark we had been given by someone else - and so we went with it.

His two stonemasons - Juan and Elevardo - worked two long, hot days on this, and accommodated a small design change mid-way through that had them re-do a little of their work.  They are great craftsmen, and knew just how to do their job.  We were hugely pleased by the result!

Customers say: Quality work

"Ben did amazing work installing our concrete patio, firepit, and retaining wall. Ben and his team were always timely and communicated with us every step of the way. He was always willing to go the extra mile (like taking our green bin to the curb!), And cleaned up after himself beautifully. Keeping his customers happy is important to Ben and it shows. I highly recommend Rockman Concrete services for any concrete project one might have!"

"My wife and I hired Forest Landscape to remove our old rotted pressure treated retaining wall by our Koi pond and replace with natural black basalt rock. They also removed our wood raised garden walls and replaced with paver stone with a top cap. They also removed our badly installed basalt rock pathway that was loose and lifting up. The rock pathway was installed only three years ago by Cornerstone Hardscapes. Forest Landscapes installed a stamped concrete pathway where the basalt rock pathway was removed Jose and Rigo Castaneda were very professional to work with and there crew were real craftsman with attention to detail. They showed up on time and worked even on Saturday to finish project on time. We will hire them again for any future projects."

"I just had a addition on to my drive way into a carport and a patio slab w/ a stamp installed by Patrick and his team. Hands down the best and most professional contractor i have ever had to work on my house. He was prompt and on time for a quote, and something that i rarely see: he said he was going to be there at a time and do a specific thing, and he was there at that time and did exactly what he said. Really just blew me away with how professional and nice they were, both him and his team. He was very communicative with every step of the process, there was some weather delays so he contacted me and let me know that the pour would have to wait a couple days. The work looks fantastic and was exactly what i wanted, he even fixed a drain pipe that had a hole in it and the cleanup they did was far beyond any expectation. There is a reason why he has pretty much all 5 star reviews, the work, professionalism, and kindness all speak for themselves when you hire Patrick Masonry and Concrete, i will be recommending him to everyone i know."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.

There are contractors specifically trained in the design and construction of retaining walls. Retaining wall contractors are skilled at dealing with the soil on your property and assessing what kind of drainage should be installed. They will recommend the best materials to use for the project and can handle the processing of permits by local authorities.
