Customers say: Terrific value

"Overall good job repairing the cement apron to my garage. Job was rescheduled a few times for various reasons, but since it's been completed I've had no problems with cracking or chipping. The color is not quite as white as the original cement, but other than that I have no complaints at all."

"Went very well.  I was concerned when he had to open a wall in living room for the duct work, but he assured me that when he was done, I wouldn't know he did any work there, and he was absolutely right. Wall looks the same as it did before, you can't tell it had two big holes in it.  Love my new bathroom.  After tearing out the fiberglass tub surround, he had to fix the wall and then waterproofed everything.  Chris did a great job on the tile, looks wonderful. I'm very happy with my new bathroom.

"It went great! ​The Clark team is fantastic! I could only find one company to install my wood burning fireplace incert but they quoted me more than double the price. I was so happy to hear about Clark Chimney & Madonry, they did a great job for less than half price. Chris was very professional, and efficient and his team were great! Thank you"

"Xtreme Masonry is unbelievable. From the estimate all the way up to the completed project they went above and beyond every step of the way to answer all my questions, while also educating me about my project. The day Terry came out for the estimate I was installing a new front door, he didn't hesitate to offer his knowledge and it really helped me out. Great people and amazing work. I would HIGHLY recommend Xtreme Masonry to anyone who is looking to have any Masonary work done around there home."

"Jeremy Wolfe promptly got in touch with us. Showed up the same day when he said he would to assess the repair needed for our roof. Purchased shingles within the hour and returned to install with his colleague. We were very happy with the work (done in the rain) and cleanup."

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, answered by experts

Options include concrete, stone, brick, and wood, tailored for specific design needs.

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.

With foundation walls, the slab on grade and force at the top of the wall is resisted by flooring. With retaining walls, the force at the top of the wall is not resisted.

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.
