"The estimate was reasonable, the installation was completed in a day and per schedule, and the crew did an excellent job of cleaning up after the install. I am quite happy with the job, with only a minor issue with a couple of pieces of pressure treated lumber that were warped or visibly chipped. All in all a great experience."

"They completed a 10 by 14-foot paver patio with a retaining wall on two sides under an existing deck. The project was completed in two days. Marvin told me the names/colors of the materials that would be used so I could view before the project was started. I asked questions at every step and Marvin explained everything that they were doing in detail. I would definitely use them again."

"Xtracare completely changed our patio experience with a stacked retaining wall and a porcelain paver patio that we selected. Our lot is difficult to manage as it slopes towards the back of the house. Their design ideas are excellent and we worked together to plan this well and select materials. They also did an amazing job to control water runoff with a roof drainage system and yard regrading. The office communicates well. The crew was here on time every day and did an amazing job and finished the project on-time and within the budget. A project manager was assigned to us and was very responsive. I would hire them again for sure. Highly recommended."

"We hired Diversified Contractors to install a new patio, walkway and retaining wall at our home during the summer of 2017. The job consisted of removing an existing concrete patio and then installing a new patio and a 60-foot walkway using Westchester pavers. In addition, a 25-foot retaining wall incorporating a new PVC drainage system was installed under an existing deck. The job required a significant amount of landscaping and regrading of our backyard. Diversified Contractors completed the work on schedule and the men who performed the installation were courteous, professional and excellent craftsmen. The manager/owner came by each day to review the progress of the work. He was always accessible to address our questions. We are extremely pleased with the service and could not have asked for a better contractor to perform the work. The quality and design of the resulting patio, walkway and retaining wall have exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Diversified Contractors to anyone who is considering having masonry work done at their home."

"Very thorough preparation--removal of prior driveway, substantial excavation to permit required base of crushed stone and sand, concrete footings around perimeter of driveway to stabilize edges of paver driveway. Very nice work setting pavers, setting trim pavers on edges, trimming pavers to fit where driveway wasn't square, and applying polymeric sand to seal joints."

FAQs for retaining wall installation projects in Ellicott City, MD

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.
