"The brick mason was needed because the company installing a new gas wall furnace had to first remove the old furnace. Its removal resulted in a large through and through hole which went through the wall and the brick. Joseph Little and Home Improvement did the necessary brick mason work which definitely closed my wall on the inside and outside. I was thoroughly pleased."

"Extremely professional! Met with us many times before our project started to ensure they had every detail planned. The workers were extremely courteous, showed up ion time, cleaned up the work area every evening. Worked quickly and efficiently. They did a wall and patio around a new pool that looks amazing, high quality work. Landscaped the entire yard surrounding it. The work was impeccably done! We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Scaped Outdoors and highly recommend them!"

"I will use Garys own words to describe my experience, **I am a pain in the d*** to work with, but I get the job done!** The question then becomes is the work stellar enough to warrant the pain. For me, the answer was no."

Customers say: Quick response

"Pete and his team were phenomenal. They totally transformed my yard adding. a boulder wall, lots of additional usable flat space and a fantastic design. Pete was very knowledgeable and had a great vision for my project and shared lots of ideas. The pricing was fair for the amount of work performed. The project was completed under budget and in a very timely manner. Pete and his team were reliable and got back to me quickly. I really appreciated the quality of the boulders so much that I had another contractor purchase boulders from Pete for my next project."

"The previous retaining wall was in rough shape. They gave us a competitive quote, came in on price, and did a fantastic job. They were very transparent about what needed done and how they planned to complete the work. We intend to have a patio installed in the next few years and will absolutely be using Wall Structures for the work."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Generally, a railroad tie retaining wall consisting of a single line of ties should be between 3 and 4 feet tall—and the height often tops out at around 6 feet. You can go taller, but you may need additional footings and reinforcements, including a second layer of railroad ties to support the added weight of the soil it’s holding back.

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

If you don’t backfill a retaining wall—either at all or adequately enough—the wall won’t drain well, and water will be able to pass through it. Poor drainage will lead to a warped wall or a buildup of hydrostatic pressure, which can eventually collapse your retaining wall. If you have particularly sloped land, consult a structural engineer to ensure your hardscaping is adding value to your home.

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.  

Yes, to build a retaining wall, a permit is required. Similarly, any repairs or modifications to an existing retaining wall require permits. If the planned wall measures higher than 4 feet, most municipalities require designs and permits come through a licensed engineer. In some locations, if the wall is shorter than 4 feet, a permit may not be required. For the requirements in your area, contact your local government.
