"We had wind driven rain water seeping in through the masonry on the front of our house. I contacted Disciple Masonry based on numerous positive reviews, and w weren't disappointed. From start to finish, the experience was great. Joey responded quickly to my initial call, and came out to provide a plan of action. They would repoint the mortar joints in the area outside. Inside, parging and waterproofing paint were applied. All commitments were kept, and Scott did an excellent job. His workmanship clearly demonstrated he has a great deal of pride in his work. I was impressed to find that new mulch was applied to work area outside after the masonry work was completed. That's attention to detail. Dan, and Nathan were also helpful with keeping me informed about weather related issues, and answering questions. All in all, it was a great experience. I highly recommend them, and will definitely hire again if needed. Thank you Disciple Masonry!"

"We contacted Pierce L. Shallis Landscaping after doing some research and reading online reviews. We needed landscape remediation as water was building up in the front side of our house (during heavy rain) and wanted a new flower bed as well. I contacted them and they got back to me right away. Pierce came out to take a look and after talking to him, I was confident he had the expertise to do the work. To no surprise, he and his crew did a fantastic job. I defaulted to his opinion about what plants would look great in the flower bed. My only request was a small Japanese maple. The communication was great from start to finish. I would highly recommend this company to anyone as they are both knowledgeable and professional. When hiring Pierce L. Shallis, you will have peace of mind that they will get the job done right."

You can expect a concrete block wall to last 50 to 100 years—or even longer—when it’s built with quality blocks, proper rebar, and a pro installer. Longevity still depends on you keeping the wall clean, sealing it against moisture, and tackling small repairs early. Local climate and soil conditions also play a role, so check for cracks after heavy storms. With routine care, your wall should stay solid for decades.
Look for leaning, bowing, widening cracks, or loose mortar joints—those signs mean your wall could use extra muscle. If you spot any of them, call a structural engineer or masonry contractor. The professional will assess the damage and, if necessary, add rebar, grout, or new footings to shore things up. Acting quickly keeps small issues from turning into costly repairs.
The price to repair a retaining wall depends on the extent of the damage. Patching hairline cracks costs far less than rebuilding sections that have shifted or collapsed. Your material choice and local labor rates matter too—brick repairs run higher than concrete block fixes. Hire a retaining-wall professional to assess the problem and recommend the most effective repair plan before costs escalate.
