"We hired Xtra Care to help us renovate our backyard, build a new deck, and install a new retaining wall, plus install some plants appropriate for the shade level of the yard, and build a walkway to address erosion of the soil along the side of our house. From our first encounter with Cleber, the owner, we were eager to work with them. Cleber had many ideas about how to better use the space we had (which wasn't much) and how we could accomplish our goals of having a space to sit, a space to eat, and a space to cook and grill outside. His enthusiasm and creative thinking helped us immensely. Angela's drawings and proposal arrived very promptly after our first conversation. We booked the 3D rendering as an additional option so we'd get a sense of what we were going to achieve with the space and their ideas. It was a smooth and interactive process; Angela took our questions and suggestions and modified the plans to better accommodate our goals, and I really appreciated the customer input form they include so they have a sense of what customers want before they begin. The process of digging out the yard, installing the new wall, the plants, and the deck, was addressed by three teams of people. CJ's team was taking on the hardscaping, and they were all meticulous with keeping the area as neat as possible, and with making sure the gates were closed afterward to keep our dogs inside. Diego's team installed the deck and demolished the old one, and I really appreciated that his crew reattached the old side stairs from the old deck to the back of the house so we and the dogs could get in and out safely. Tim's team took on the plant relocation (we had some hydrangeas we wanted to move, along with some yews and some hostas) and they were quick, considerate, and meticulous as well. Our experience was terrific from start to finish. Despite weather delays, supply delays due to the pandemic, and coordinating all the different pieces of the proposal, the project took only a few weeks, and we are so very happy with our new deck space. We have probably tripled the amount of usable space in our back yard. Xtra Care did a phenomenal job, and we'll hire them again to address our front yard and driveway area in the future."

"Great drawings and very professional. I’m putting this project on hold until the fall. It appears there’s other items on the foundation wall that needs to be taken care of before the landscaping company can do their job"

"They were amazing. I mean it really looks good. I think that if I paid less, it might not have looked quite as good. They were really professionals that knew what they were doing. The way they did the retaining wall just looks really really nice. I would give them higher than an A in some way. They were so nice. There were so many of them, and they worked so fast. They were experts. The salesman was also excellent because he took into part what I was trying to convey, and he designed it. He kept showing me, and we kept sort of tweaking it. You want that. They were punctual. They were scheduled for a week or so later, and I called and asked if they could come earlier because they had an opening in their schedule. They like to keep their crews working constantly, and I had really wanted it done as soon as possible. So I agreed. They came and they were right on time. They worked very hard. They always cleaned up after themselves. I mean so many leave a mess or leave a part of it undone. Plus, it just exceeded my expectations of how it looked in the end."

"Brothers Pavers Inc did an incredible job with this repair. This was my first time hiring anyone for this type of home repair, and I could not be happier with the result. They were thorough with the inspection/quote. Always communicative, easy to get a hold of and prompt with responses. Very polite, efficient, and reliable. I cannot recommend them highly enough."

"Hyzri was prompt, professional and responsive. We had an old concrete retaining wall and stairs that were crumbling and an eyesore. He quickly demolished the old wall and rebuilt the new wall and stairs, completely transforming my rear alley entrance. I would definitely recommend Desire Masonry."

"This is the second time we used Mason and his crew. Capitol Hill home that needed a stucco makeover. The house looks great and the entire process was seamless and stress free. Mason is a pro and his communication every step of the way is fantastic. His crew works hard and are very meticulous with every detail. Would highly recommend."

"East Coast Landscape Design did an amazing job when part of my retaining wall fell after a storm! They came right out to assess the damage and they were able to have their crew out there the following week. The communication with the company was exceptional too and the wall looks beautiful and it is safe!"

"The five-month journey that we spent with Chris, Nicoleta, Nate, Elmer and all the team at GSB Builders has beaten any of our expectations and delivered a beautiful second-floor addition, which includes a master suite and office space. After a lot of hesitation, Chris, Nicoleta and Nate convinced us to take the step forward, captured our main ideas and proposed a design that has greatly improved, not only the space and appeal of our own house, but also the neighborhood. We really appreciated their listening to our ideas, down-to-earth and professional demeanor, and knowledge about all aspects of the construction which helped us overcome our initial fears ahead of an unknown journey. The construction was well executed by a professional team led by Elmer which was always friendly, tidy and respectful of the family’s privacy while workers had to enter the house. Their work ethic and professionalism is truly impressive. We valued the extreme responsiveness of Chris and Nicoleta during critical moments, such as during a thunderstorm which damaged part of the roof under construction. The GSB Builders team reacted swiftly to repair the parts damaged by the unexpected weather conditions, which avoided further damage to the house and major disruption in the family’s life. We truly appreciated Nicoleta’s design expertise and knowledgeable guidance on choosing bathroom fixtures, and her overall warm and approachable personality, which made this project also really fun. In fact, over the course of working together, we have come to appreciate each other deeply and have come to view Nicoleta and Chris as friends of the family. No major construction project is without bumps and stress along the road, and ours was no exception. What mattered is that we were always able to rely to the GSB team to do their best to rectify any problem and solidify our trust. We will continue working with the company on other projects in the future and will recommend their service to friends and family without any hesitation."

FAQs for retaining wall installation projects in Washington, DC

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.
