We commissioned Wonderland Masonry - Wheaton to completely renovate both the hardscape and landscape for our front and back yards. From concept to design and execution, Enrique and his team not only met but exceeded our expectations. We are thrilled with our yards and can’t wait to enjoy and entertain as the warmer weather months approach.

We just had Enrique and his team do a 3rd project for us. On each project (chimney rebuild, patio wall modifications and driveway ditch retaining walls) our experience was the same; clear cost proposal, good preview of what they would do at onset of the work and good workmanship. We thought highly enough of Wonderland to recommend them to a neighbor and a family member, and would gladly recommend them again.

Enrique was able to fit our chimney rebuild into a tight window to accommodate our wanting to replace the roof before the weather turned this fall. We are very pleased with the end result.

Wonderland Masonry rebuilt my side steps and porch in bluestone. Enrique and his crew did just a great job and was always willing to listen to any concerns I might have and put me at ease. He also did my daughter's pool hardscape that turned out beautiful, which is how I met Enrique! Thank you Enrique!!.. you and your crew did a beautiful job!!

HAVE QUESTIONS?
Retaining Wall Installation FAQs
We answer some of the most common questions regarding retaining wall installation. Feel free to reach out to us if your question isn't on the list!
- What is the price quote for a retaining wall?
- The national average cost to install a retaining wall is $6,300, with most homeowners in the U.S. paying between $3,500 and $9,400. In general, the average cost per square foot is $33. The total price greatly depends on your wall’s square footage and the materials used.
- What is the most cost effective retaining wall?
- The most affordable retaining wall options are concrete blocks and treated timber. Many homeowners opt for railroad ties as well. However, if you prefer stone, the most affordable solution is granite.
- What is the most expensive type of retaining wall?
- Natural stone is the most expensive material for retaining walls and is also considered the most aesthetically appealing option. The reason behind the high cost is that each stone must be individually placed and secured. This requires more labor and more materials, compared to other types of retaining walls.
- How to calculate the cost of a retaining wall?
- There are several factors you need to take into consideration when calculating the cost of a retaining wall. Start by deciding which material you will use and calculate the cost per square foot. Then, you need to take into account labor costs, which range from $15 to $40 per square foot or $50 to $75 per hour. Last but not least, take drainage into account, which typically costs $80 to $120 per linear square foot.
- How long do retaining walls last?
- How long a retaining wall lasts depends on several factors, including the material used and the quality of the construction. Concrete or stone walls should last anywhere from 50 to 100 years. Timber walls, on the other hand, last around 20 years.
- What type of contractor builds retaining walls?
- To choose a qualified retaining wall contractor, look for someone with qualifications and certifications in construction, engineering, or landscaping. Retaining walls are typically built by landscape contractors or masonry contractors. These professionals specialize in constructing structures that manage soil and enhance landscaping.
