VERIFIED LOCAL REVIEWS
Trusted by Homeowners
See what local homeowners have to say about working with Tierra Dura Construction.
“Tierra Dura Construction did a beautiful job at our home! We hired them for two projects last summer - remove/replace a 45' long x 3' tall retaining wall (was railroad ties, now stacked block), and remove/replace a 26' long front walkway (with exposed aggregate). Their crew was polite and came on time every day. We are very happy with the quality of work and professionalism.”
“Gerardo and his crew were great. We had them do a small patio extension with pavers and a gravel pad prepped for a shed. They worked hard, were very professional and did a great job. Gerardo was very easy to communicate with. We are very happy with the job and have already asked them for a quote on fence replacement.”
“Gerardo and his crew did an amazing job on my patio. They were professional, efficient and reasonably priced. 10/10 recommend for any masonry work. I'll definitely use them in the future.”
“I was very happy with the results of my project. Gerardo was able to take my 'vision' for my back yard and make it a reality. Things were done in a timely fashion and I was very pleased with the results. Did everything I asked. I would highly recommend.”
“Very good work, Gerardo is great at what he does. Very kind and great pricing!”
“Gerardo seemed really reasonable. He came out on a Saturday... Not only was it fast, you could hardly tell any work was done, especially the digging to replace the busted valve. Gerardo left it looking like it was originally! The box was in the middle of a gravel path and it didn't even look like the path had been touched, let alone dug completely into! Super happy with his work. Would totally recommend him!”
“We are very pleased with the paver job Tierra Dura (TD) did for us. I received two other bids and they were MUCH HIGHER in cost. The Owner was great at communicating via email and through Yelp. The two man crew worked quietly, cleaned up daily, and kept us updated on the progress.”

TRANSPARENT PRICING LOGIC
How Much Does Installation Cost?
Standard “per-foot” pricing you see online is almost always inaccurate because it ignores real site requirements. A reliable retaining wall is a structural project tailored to your property’s specific slope, soil, access, drainage, and loading conditions.
To give you an honest, binding project investment with zero hidden surprises, Tierra Dura Construction evaluates your terrain in person and provides a full itemized breakdown before a single shovel touches your yard.
- No generic estimates or misleading teaser rates
- Base prep and compaction matched to site conditions
- Drainage + reinforcement plan based on wall height and loads
- Manufacturer-backed materials plus workmanship warranty

CLEAR ANSWERS, NO HASSLE
Frequently Asked Questions
Getting a retaining wall built shouldn’t feel like a guessing game. Here is straightforward clarity on pricing, timelines, and our dedicated residential process so you can make an informed decision.
Prefer to talk directly?
Our team is ready to answer specific yard questions right now.
How much does a residential retaining wall typically cost?
Cost depends on wall length and height, site access, excavation needs, drainage requirements, and whether reinforcement (geogrid) is required. We provide an exact, itemized quote after an on-site assessment so you know what’s included before you approve anything.
Do you build block retaining walls and seating walls for residential properties?
Yes. We build segmental block retaining walls, tiered walls, and decorative seating walls for backyards, front yards, and grade transitions. Every wall is planned for base prep and water management—not just looks.
What is the typical timeline from estimate to completion?
Your on-site evaluation typically takes 20–30 minutes. After approval, scheduling depends on season and scope, but most residential walls are completed in a few days once we begin—longer for tall/tiered walls or difficult access.
What happens right after I request an estimate online?
A project specialist reviews your details and coordinates a convenient time for an on-site visit. You’ll receive a clear, firm quote with scope details and no high-pressure sales tactics.
Do retaining walls need drainage and reinforcement?
Most walls require proper drainage behind the wall (drain rock and often a drain pipe) to relieve hydrostatic pressure. Reinforcement requirements depend on wall height, soil, slope, and loads. We design the build approach around the conditions on your property.
Are financing or payment plan options available?
Yes. We can share financing options when you request an estimate so you can choose a plan that fits your budget and timeline.
