Get matched with top retaining wall installers in Mineral Wells, TX

"We wanted a 10' x 20' patio installed but were not sure what materials to use. The area needed leveling and there was a slope to contend with. Aaron gave pros & cons of using pavers/crushed granite vs flagstone/mortar; no hard sell for either one. He explained we would need a small retaining wall on one side of patio to deal with sloping yard. We went with flagstone/mortar as it would match existing retaining wall and steps. Aaron provided an itemized proposal and placed us on his schedule. Communication was excellent throughout the process. Once started, they were finished in a week. Clean-up was outstanding. The workmanship is second to none. Patio is perfectly level, drainage is exceptional, and the flagstone is beautifully placed. We are so fortunate to have found Tecton Stoneworks on Angi. Highly recommend this company!"

"Pinckard did a fantastic job on replacing my retaining wall. Professional from the start, communicating with me throughout the process until the job was completed. Definitely recommend and will be using them in the future for some other projects I’d like to do!"

"Mr. Luis is the most professional and patient gentleman. He always quickly responded to any of our request before and during the job. Mr. Luis also has the best crew who did an outstanding job to make my broken retaining wall like a new wall again. They also cleaned up the working area nicely. Mr. Luis is very busy, I've waited for more than a week to get the home visit scheduled. But all my wait is paid off since I found the best company to repair my retaining wall! If you can't get the second-day estimate scheduled, I think you shall wait. I highly recommend Arbors and Patios. I will definitely hire them again for my future outdoor improvements."

"I contacted numerous landscapers for estimates and ideas. Out of the five contacted, three showed up for the appt., one never returned my call on his estimate that I liked, one was way overpriced for the work and then their was Mike. Mike listened to our problems and desires and created a design that not only brought in natives plants, removed all grass areas but also corrected a water run-off problem when rains were heavy that was perpetuated from my neighbors pool. Additionally as we worked through the job he improved my desires and suggested alternatives that were put into place and were well thought out and now show a better appeal.

The work took a little over two weeks to complete due to the extensive effort. The crew was professional, work long days and everyday during this period. The boulders lining the drive river bed ranged from 200lbs up to 800+lbs.

After completion of the job we discovered two months later, the run-off of the neighbors water was higher than initially thought and washed out sections of the path running along the dry river bed. Mike came back out re-designed the river bed by running an additional branch from higher on the property into the lower river bed using same materials as the lower river bed. This was done at no additional costs as Mike explained he promised no water run-off problems.  At this time he not only replaced plants that had died but also supplemented additional plants  at no costs.

This spring I contacted Mike for maintenance of the back yard. This included re-mulching the back yard and adding plants. This was at an additional very reasonable cost that was expected. My backyard like most other Texas earth is comprised of clay soil and the hardwood mulch that is being used in slowly reconditioning the soil through decomposition. The costs was far below what I would have spent on my own to do, saved me two weekends of labor (his crew did it in 8 hours) and continued the beautification of the back yard.

I highly recommend anyone who is looking for landscaping work to contact Mike for ideas and an estimate. He was very communicative during the entire process of the initial install, follow-up questions and needs. He also fully explained each plant and how to care for the entire yard in order for the plants to take hold. His willingness to listen to your needs and transform them into real experience is amazing. He goes beyond your expectation, providing value beyond what you thought.

In the past I periodically only used my rear patio but now it is an evening ritual so to unwind from the day's work immensely enjoying my "new" backyard. It was well worth the cost.

"I was pleased with the results.  In addition to bidding on the known issues, the estimator walked around my property and found several other issues including multiple long cracks in the mortar of my exterior walls.  I appreciated this extra effort although the additional work lead to doubling the cost of the work.  The crew went right to work when they arrived.  They worked hard and did a good job, leaving the work areas clean.  They were polite and respectful.  The reworked and repaired areas look great.  The only snafu was a mixup on the scheduling of the actual work.  The crew showed up unexpectedly but it all worked out.  I used a Big Deal discount for part of the work.  I would use Mason man again.

"We found Prestigious Home Designs Remodeling on Angie's list.  We liked everything we read and the fact that most of Derek?s workers are long time employees.  I was not comfortable with the idea of having random sub-contractors in our home. 
We also liked that Derek helps with colors and material selections.  Neither of us have an eye for this sort of thing. 
Derek came out in February and we went over our wish list.  He gave us some great ideas and even recommended against some items (e.g. not necessary to refinish/replace kitchen cabinets).  Our wish list was bigger than our budget, so we started eliminating things and modifying others, with Derek's help.  Several ice storms delayed us getting to Dallas to look at  samples.  But we finally got to his shop and then later met at a couple of stores to finalize selections.  We liked everything he recommended.  Our remodel started on April 2.
Estimated time to complete was 4 - 6 weeks.  They sectioned off the house with plastic and we lived on one side while they worked on the other.  It was challenging for us and the workers, but it was manageable.  All of the employees were professional, polite, and respectful.  I never felt unsafe when I was here alone.  Carlos was our primary contact many days.  He
is a very hard worker and kept us updated on what was happening next (along with Derek's texts or phone calls).  Carlos is a jack of all trades.  He also gave us recommendations on where to put towel bars, cabinet pulls, etc.  (Husband ordered and replaced door handles, locks and cabinet pulls. We also ordered kitchen appliances and stored them until Derek installed them.) 
Lights were added and some replaced with canned LED lights in living room and kitchen. Reading light is positioned perfectly above my reading chair.  LED lights were installed under upper kitchen cabinets.  They make an amazing difference.  Ceiling fans were replaced. 

The project actually took about 12 1/2 weeks (twice as long as we thought it would take) because:

• After work started, we decided it would look better if all of the baseboards were replaced.

• Then everything was looking so good, we decided to re-do the spare bath.  (We could have made selections, but Derek volunteered to surprise us.  We are delighted with the result.)

• • There were days they could not work because they couldn't set up their saws outside due to lots of rain. (It rained 22 days out
  • of 31 in May, and it was the rainiest May since 1941!  (Bad luck for us ...).
  • Sometimes it was too humid to paint.
  • We found honey bees in a wall.  Delayed about a week waiting on bee keeper to come out.  Then Derek?s crew had to fix the wall and paint.

• There was a manufacturing problem with the wood floor we selected and we had to re-order a different floor, which we like

The workers were very respectful regarding our cats.  They never opened a door where 2 inside cats were secured.  When they were driving in or out, they always looked for our outside cat to make sure he wouldn't get squished.  That meant more to us than they realize.  They were very respectful when they needed to come to "our side" of the house to use the restroom.  (We told Derek in advance that we didn't mind if they needed to use it.) 
I felt like Derek worked to keep cost down as we added the baseboards and the spare bath.  Our punch list was purely
cosmetic and mostly paint related.  Everything was completed to our satisfaction.  Derek made final inspection on June 30 and we made our final payment. 
A couple of weeks later, the glass door in the master shower slipped.  Called Derek and the glass man came out within a few hours.  Before he arrived, we showered in the spare bath and noticed a small leak around a bracket at the bottom of the glass.  He repaired it too, even though we had not notified Derek. 
We love everything.  It?s like a totally new house.  It looks modern.  Derek looked at our home and intuitively knew what we would like.  We went with every recommendation he made.  The wood and tile floors are beautiful.  The lowering of the kitchen bar makes the kitchen/breakfast area look much more open and inviting.  The accent walls (living room, dining room and master bedroom) and all of the paint are perfect with everything else.  The accent wall makes the fireplace much more visible. Previously, it sort of disappeared into the wall.  The master shower looks and feels MUCH larger even thought it's the same size.  The custom cabinets in both bathrooms are beautiful and well made.  The spare bath looks much larger too.  All of the work is top quality.  We highly recommend this company.
I don't think I would ever want to do a remodel like this again, especially while living in the house, but if we did we would hire
Prestigious Home Designs Remodeling."

"We worked with the owner Brian and contracted him to install Silver Mist flagstone on our front, back and kitchen porches, as well as build steps a the front porch. After he started the work, we decided to have him build some additional steps, and pull up an old walkway and replace it with Silver Mist. His price to add this additional work was very reasonable.
Brian's crew knew exactly what to do and wasted no time. And when they finished, they picked up  everything, including what was left of the pile of sand they used for making mortar. The yard was left exactly like it was when they started. 
We are very happy with the results and especially the honest way in which Brian dealt with us. When we noticed a questionable place in the stone work, Brian immediately had his guys pull out the stones and corrected the issue without a question. The Silver Mist on the three porches looks great and our realtor said it will increase the value of the house much more the the cost. Next summer we will add a new entry walk and a patio in the front. We will definitely have Stonemastertx do that work.

"Went great. replaced sprinkler heads. Recommended and installed a new system since ours was old and not functioning."
