"The contractor and crew did a fabulous job of installing a permeable paved driveway and retaining wall. They were respectful of me, my time and property. They kept me updated and explained each phase of the project. I’m very very pleased with the company and the completed project. I highly recommend this company and would definitely use them again."

"Jeff Mottern and his team were fantastic! I had a retaining wall that was bowing outward. The other contractors I contacted told me it had to be replaced. Jeff Mottern and his team recommended an "outside-the-box" solution that worked and saved me thousands of dollars. I highly recommend Jeff and his team!"

"We had a great experience working with Mike and his DC Patio crews. Relationships are important when entering into a big project, and we clicked right away with Mike. During his initial site visit, he listened to what we were looking for, provided suggestions for us to consider on details where we were undecided, and really took it all in as it was a large project wrapping around three sides of the house. He was flexible regarding our desire to source some of our own materials, and provided a detailed, comprehensive estimate that was very competitive relative to other proposals we received. Our project was delayed due to our preferred materials being unavailable as the factory shut down for two months during the initial COVID-19 lockdowns, but once we had a delivery date, DC Patio was able to get us on their schedule and get started. The crews were great: respectful, courteous, polite, tidy. Edgardo and Victor were here almost everyday, and Henry, Marvin, Donaldo, and others joined depending on nature and scope of the day's work. Mike usually came out in the morning to go over the plan for the next day or two and walk through any design decisions that were needed. In the course of about five weeks, the crews were able to remove two old walkways (including jackhammering out a set of concrete steps), add 4-10 inches of soil all the way around the house to create slope for drainage, divert 5 downspouts with underground pipes and pop-up emitters as well as two catch basins, build the crushed stone base for the new walkways and multi-level patio, install a small retaining/seating wall as well as two long, curved steps between the levels, build three small sets of bluestone steps into the house, and install two curving paver walkways, three pavers circles, a fire pit, and a large paver patio, totaling almost 2000 sq ft! And they moved a few large plants and installed some landscape lighting at each stair riser to boot. The last step was to seed the area around the patio for grass, but due to it being early July, we all expected that it may be too hot for the seed to take root even with daily watering. Mike anticipated this and planned to send a crew back in the early fall to overseed, which he did proactively without prompting. The grass seed took hold the second time and now we are all set to enjoy our new spaces this spring! We always like to support local business who take care of their customers AND their employees, and Mike's commitment to communicating with his crews in Spanish is clearly appreciated. The commitment goes both ways - we talked to several of his guys who have worked with him for many years. I would highly recommend considering DC Patio if you're in the market to transform your property with beautiful hardscaping."

"They did a really excellent job installing a new concrete driveway and retaining wall. It was a complex project that required solutions to water drainage problems, which they fixed. Everything looks great! We are 100% satisfied with the results and would recommend."

"Bill came out personally and provided an estimate quickly. He was the fifth of five contractors I had come to my home, and the only one to provide a written estimate. Work commenced about a month later and took less than two weeks from cradle-to-grave. The project entailed demolition of a retaining wall, driveway and concrete stairs, the removal of several cubic yards of soil, pouring two new retaining walls, pouring new steps and pouring a new (wider driveway). Bill's crew did a good job cleaning up afterward, and putting the yard back together, so much so that a landscaper commented how well they did. Would definitely recommend CM for any hardscaping or concrete work around your home."

"While the work went well initially, the end of the job (when foreman was not present) did not go well and wall had to be fixed twice - because the first repair was sloppy and created additional damage. Work was completed a little over 3 years ago and wall is again cracking. If using this provider I recommend the homeowner be present for duration of job to ensure proper attention to detail and understand if there is an problem your correspondence may not promptly be addressed."

"I had a retaining wall and new fence installed by Fairfax Contractor and I could not be happier with the quality of work and the customer service. From working with Ram who worked with me on the estimate to Gary who oversaw the project, they were top notch professionals. They did everything they said they would do with the highest standard of quality and kept in touch with me through the entire process. I could not be happier that I chose to work with Fairfax Contractors."

"Julio and his team did a phenomenal job brining my backyard dream come true. He was able to correct a substandard and incomplete job done by a previous contractor. He is very communicative and has a creative eye. I had a front yard retaining wall, large patio, fire pit patio, outdoor kitchen and walkway installed. It turned out more beautifully than I could imagine. I can't wait to use it next season. If I need any other work done in the future, Julio and his team will be the first I call."

FAQs for retaining wall installation projects in Mount Vernon, VA

With proper design and construction, stone retaining walls can last anywhere from 50 to 200 years. They're built to withstand soil pressure and environmental factors, especially when reinforced with geogrid and constructed on solid foundations. Using quality materials and skilled professionals ensures your retaining wall will be durable for decades.

You can choose between natural stone and stone veneer for your project. Natural stone offers timeless durability and character, while stone veneer provides a sleek, modern look and is lighter to install. Both options are strong and provide good drainage. Consider your budget, maintenance preferences, and design goals to decide which material is best for your wall.

Choosing the right masonry professional is key to ensuring your stone wall stands the test of time. Be sure to check that the contractor has valid licenses and certifications, and a strong track record of quality work. Look at their past projects and read customer reviews. Meeting them in person and getting detailed quotes will help you make an informed decision. Taking these steps will help you find an expert who can build a sturdy and beautiful wall for your home.
