"In late July, I hired JNR Landscaping through Angie s List for backyard upgrades. After providing pictures and discussing the project, I paid a deposit. Initially, work progressed smoothly as they cleared the area, laid tarp, and added gravel. However, the gravel was not the light color we had requested. I offered to cover the cost for an additional layer of white stone. The pavers were also poorly installed, loose, and not packed with sand. I met with the contractor, Ross, in late August to address these issues. We discussed changes, including larger pavers and the white stone layer. After a lengthy and productive meeting, Ross assured me he would send a revised estimate, but I didn t hear back by September 6. I followed up with Ross and I was sent directly to voicemail. I received a cryptic text that read forwarded info to my dad. He will be in contact with you Since I had never spoken or had any dealings with his dad, I was not quite sure what this was about. Ross s father called me with an extremely hostile attitude, accusing me of leaving his son in the car and berating me for no apparent reason. He was verbally aggressive, unprofessional, and even threatened to tarnish my reputation if I complained. Ultimately this project was done poorly and it is still incomplete. I have been verbally abused and threatened by the owners of this company and I still need to complete this project. I am now seeking a refund for 100 pavers ($1,200), the spray ($120), and an additional $1,780 to cover labor costs I will incur to hire a new contractor, totaling $3,000."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

The lifespan of a retaining wall varies based on its particular material, whether it was properly installed, how well it’s maintained, and your local climate. Concrete, stone, and brick retaining walls last the longest, with concrete lasting between 50 and 100 years on average. Brick tends to last the longest, with a minimum of one century, under the right conditions. 

Timber retaining walls can start to deteriorate at 20 years, depending on the wood quality, but in the best case, they can last 40 years. Pressure-treated wood retaining walls last 30 years on average.

If you've decided you'd like to skip the cost of restoring a brick exterior wall after considering whether you should repair or replace brick on your house, you can consider installing fiber cement siding over brick for a cost of $2 to $6 per square foot. When done properly, cement siding over brick offers a durable, low-maintenance option that can actually reduce your home's energy costs. It's also attractive. However, improper installation or installation over heavily compromised brick can cause water damage. 

Costs depend on material type, labor rates, and additional features like decorative finishes or reinforcement.

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. 

Poured concrete is likely the cheapest way to build a retaining wall, as this material costs anywhere from $6 to $8 per square foot. The next best budget-friendly option is to use landscaping timbers. These timbers are great for DIY projects, as they don’t require tools to successfully build a retaining wall. Landscape timber costs around $10 to $14 per square foot. Depending on your chosen garden style, you can also go with natural stones or concrete blocks. Natural stones can be expensive if you buy them, but they’re a lot less costly if you can source them from your property.
