Wonderland Masonry came highly recommended from another related industry professional. For which I am glad to have followed their suggestion! From call to completion everything they did was top-notch, exactly as they had recommended, and the work was beautifully and meticulously done. True craftsmanship. Pricing was great, fair, clear and concise. Working with Enrique and his team was easy and exceptional. They listened to and 100% understood what I needed - then took care of the situation. I would highly recommend Wonderful Wonderland Masonry if you are looking for a job well-done, completed on time, quickly and on budget!

Our chimney was damaged due to hail. Wonderland Masonry did a great job replacing the entire chimney. Our house is 20 years old and somehow they found a way to find the perfect color match despite the house having 20 years of sun exposure. You could never tell it was replaced. I highly recommend their work.

They went above and beyond. The issue and damage was a little more extensive. The masonry and chimney repair looks fantastic. We have an older home and they found the bricks to match. Finished in two days. Quick. Professional. Fixed issue. Great service.

Wonderland Masonry was recommended to us by a friend who’d had a wonderful experience with them. They replaced our old, original chimney crown last month and it looks beautiful. These guys know what they are doing!

The guys were great. Professional, responsive to messages and on time with their projections. I would recommend this business for masonry. They worked on my bluestone, seating wall, chimneys, and limestone window sills.

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.
