Clean, professional, respectful and they even helped me carry out my grilling equipment from the garage. Great crew! I absolutely recommend Hilario's for any stone projects you have!!"

"Excellent work. They were very professional and easy to work with. They repointed my chimney and exterior foundation. They did a beautiful job and cleaned everything up afterwards so you couldn’t tell they were there unless you saw what the chimney and foundation looked like before. They did it all in one day and had the absolute best pricing by a wide margin versus the other 5 contractors we got estimates from. We will be having them come back to repoint the foundation inside of our basement soon."

"Starling and his fabulous company have been our landscapers since the fall of 2023 when our work schedules prevented us from keeping up with our yard work. We came to Angi's List and got call backs from several people, but Starling was the only one who came to the house. We were very pleased with the end result and had him come back for a spring clean up. We then let him take over our lawn care plus help with fixing our front beds that needed some TLC. We highly recommend him, and as a matter of fact his crew were just here yesterday starting the spring clean up. Starling is very professional, friendly and always easy to get a hold of when we have a question about something. He spent hours with us picking out shrubs and plants and never made us feel rushed. His crew are very friendly and take great care of our yard. We are so pleased that he showed up to our house on that late fall day!"

A well-built retaining wall can absolutely boost home value. By carving out level space, preventing erosion, and giving your yard a clean, layered look, you raise both curb appeal and usable square footage. Home appraisers estimate a 100% to 200% return on the money you spend on building a retaining wall, especially when you choose durable materials and a design that complements the house.
Material and craftsmanship dictate how long a retaining wall lasts. Expect five to 20 years from wood, 20 to 100 from metal, 50 to 100 from concrete, and up to 200 from stone. Choose quality materials, hire an experienced installer, and schedule routine maintenance, and you’ll squeeze the maximum life out of any wall.
Yes, retaining walls require a drainage system. Without proper drainage, water builds up behind the wall and can push it forward or crack the blocks. Most pros add gravel trenches, perforated pipes, and weep holes to move rainwater and groundwater away. This simple step relieves pressure, protects the foundation, and keeps the surrounding soil in place.
Most retaining walls go up in one to three weeks. Crews start by prepping and grading the site, then pour or set footings, stack the blocks, and finish with backfill and clean-up. Bad weather, complicated terrain, or permit holdups can stretch the schedule, but an experienced contractor will build slack into the timeline and keep you informed.
