"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!

"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."

"A true perfectionist. Wonderful workmanship. Corrected errors of the original paver installers and added new square footage to my existing patio. Also leveled my hot tub with a color matching concrete pad. Wonderful workmanship and pleasant personality. Highly recommend Luna Masonary for any paver/masonary."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.

A retaining wall can only function as a fence if it’s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn’t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall.
