"This was a fairly extensive project. My backyard was nothing but weeds and rocks and dirt, in pits and valleys. I wanted a green lawn, and different levels, separated by a wall. I picked Pierce because he was well reviewed, and he didn’t try to upsell me. “You don’t need a retaining wall” he said, just stairs. When I was considering mulch rather than seed he said a similar thing “I don’t even think mulch will work with all the thistle you have.” I found Pierce to be very knowledgeable in addressing issues that came up throughout the project, and very efficient. I checked him on the cost of each phase of the project, and I always found his number reasonable. He is a bit of a perfectionist - he wants things done the right way. But the result has been worth it. I now have a beautiful lawn and steps where before there was nothing. He has even followed up with me several times since to check on how the lawn is progressing. I am very satisfied."

"Edgar has done everything from tearing down and rebuilding brick stoop walls and topping with new cement toppers, repointing brickwork on the main house to repairing a very high chimney on a terra cotta roof. He also followed us to our new home in a different county and did timely repairs and topped our stone chimney and acid washed the stone fireplace inside. He is very professional and polite, does great work at a fair price."

"Atila is very easy to deal with.  He takes great pride in his work and explains everything.  We worked together on the design and colors.  We came up with a creative solution to where the cuts in the concrete should be to both serve the structural integrity as well as the aesthetic appeal to look more like cobblestone than concrete.  Each day, he debriefed me on the progress and any challenges.  I felt he went the extra mile to ensure the job came out satisfactory to both of us.
It is a nearly year after the work was completed, and I am still very satisfied.  My only complaint is about some puddling in the drive, but overall I still highly recommend Artisan.  I intend to use them to maintain the concrete (e.g. sealing) as would use them again for any new work.

"This was a joint project shared with my neighbor. We are a pair of twin houses. The crew was efficient and tireless in completing the project despite not having the bet weather condition to do concrete work. We would definitely recommend them to anyone that asks."

"The professionalism and honesty with which Mark Sr. handled my project and my situation was beyond something that I have ever seen. I would never think even twice before hiring Mark and his crew again. The work I got done was retaining walls around my patio. The quality of work done was excellent. The entire staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Both Jimmy and Robert, who did the work, were awesome. They kept us informed of what they were doing the entire time. They finished up the work pretty fast as promised. I am so glad I found them on homeadvisor. Great company and folks to work with."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

Small retaining walls still require a foundation of some kind, typically a concrete footing. This helps to ensure the wall is structurally sound and prevents the ground from shifting over time, especially during those winter freeze/thaw cycles. The footing helps spread the weight of the wall and the load it carries over a larger area of the ground, thus assisting with stability. This is true of small retaining walls, larger rock garden walls, and the like. 

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.

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.

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.
