"Alonso Landscaping was the only company to respond promptly to my inquiry. Their quote was reasonable and I chose them to replace a deteriorating retaining wall. They showed up when promised and the job took two days. I was very impressed with the employee they sent over, Armando. He was considerate, a very hard worker and explained everything about what he was doing. He was thorough and the wall looks amazing. I would not hesitate to recommend them to you. If the owner reads this, Armando worked his butt off to make it look good. I will definitely use this company again!"

"Installed Mendota Basic gas insert fireplace:  Install went OK except I preferred to use my electrician and there was a mix up between contractors about how to install the wiring so it had to be done over.  Jim tested the fireplace several times.  He gave good instructions to a carpenter about building a box to support the insert. 
Stone tile around the insert:  Jim did a beautiful job, and he arranged the tiles just the way I wanted them.  He worked with my carpenters to design the framing to accommodate the design for wood trim and mantle that I wanted. 
Rebuilt the chimney from the roof up:  The masonry itself is professional.   This took a long time to complete due to the long winter and to various excuses (e,g, deaths, illnesses, other jobs started after ours).   The scaffolding was left up longer than promised and that annoyed the neighbor who could not use his driveway.  Communication on this issue was difficult for all of us.
Concrete cap on chimney:  This looks great.  Jim forgot to do a little piece of cap on the side, but he came back and did it later, no questions asked. 
Tuck pointing: Grinding went well.  Missed a few "bee holes" the first time round.  Jim came back later and filled those in.  
Waterproofing:  this went well.
Block cutting and installing a larger glass block window: Glass block looks great, and matches the other glass block windows in the basement. 
Window well:  Jim used landscape blocks that matched the style and color of a window well around another basement window.  The blocks are level and fit exactly.  They look great. 
Fireplace doors:  Jim picked doors of a style I wanted.  Installation was professional.  I was disappointed that the doors don't seal airtight as I had understood when we initially discussed the job.  I felt this should have been discussed more before the doors were installed.
Epoxy floor:This didn't go so well.  The grinder left many semi-circular and circular gouges in the floor which could not be ground out.  So the floor is very uneven.  Perhaps this was due to the quality of the existing concrete, but I don't really know.  Then the epoxy paint he used didn't cover the floor.  Jim did this over at his expense.  
Communication:  Early on, Jim kept me well-informed about when he would come and arrived as planned.  However, there were times when calls and emails went unanswered for days.   Scaffolding that blocked the neighbor's driveway was not removed when promised.   During the second contract, the number of unanswered calls increased.  Several times Jim promised to come and did not show up or explain why, which delayed all the other work that had to wait until after the floor was redone.  It also meant I was having to arrange for my daughter to be elsewhere on days even when he didn't show up and put off other contractors.  This happened at least half a dozen times.    
Timeliness: There were several delays on the first job, attributed to weather but not entirely due to that, so the job took longer than we expected.  Therefore,  in the second contract we specified a start date (April 26, 2013) and an end date (May 10, 2013) and a penalty for missing the date.  The job was not complete until the end of August, when he came to install the fireplace doors, to complete the tuck-pointing and waterproofing and to redo the floor.

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

While vinyl is the least costly material for building a retaining wall, the most cost-effective method is to use wood or concrete blocks for a DIY retaining wall under 2 feet tall. Wood is inexpensive but lasts 20 years or more with care. Concrete can cost a little more but is stronger and will last longer with less maintenance.

Each design is different, so we can’t say definitively if you’ll need a dedicated drainage system in place for a two-foot retaining wall. However, you can likely skip the drainage, as this project is typically served for walls that are 4 feet tall or more. Even with a relatively low wall, consider drainage if you are building on top of clay or poor-draining soil types or if there are buried water sources nearby, like a well used for other outdoor garden projects.

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.
