Retaining Walls

I am looking for someone to help us with a small construction project: repair of a retaining wall that currently encloses a planting bed in the front of our house (currently consists of rotting away railroad ties), running of electrical to install lighting on front steps, and installation of a charging station for an electric car. I'm not sure if there is one outfit that can do all of this, but any leads on any part of it would be helpful. The house is in Berkeley. Thanks so much. 

I would love referrals to a reliable, reasonable contractor who can do a retaining wall and decking. Thank you!!

I'm looking for someone to rebuild a brick retaining wall and an adjacent planter. This would include demo, debris removal and hopefully reusing some of the existing bricks. Do you have a recommendation for someone that did a similar job? This is one of many yard projects for us so I'm looking for a reasonable rate. Strong possibility of more work in the future. We received one quote from someone who left their flyer on our door, but I would like to get at least one more quote and hopefully a recommendation from a previous customer.

We need to get a wooden retaining wall and fence replaced, and I could use advice and recommendations, either for specific contractors (the recommendations in the archive are fairly old), or for what the work should entail. The retaining wall is about 4 feet high, plus there is a fence and an arbor along the top of the wall.   I had two different contractors look at the wall, and they recommended very different things, and at very different prices.   One person is proposing ground posts, "buried 36" deep, in concrete, about 4 feet apart".     The other person is proposing anchoring the wall 'laterally', by means of rebar that would be attached to a concrete slab they'd install a few feet uphill from the wall. (Both are proposing installing a French drain, so that part is similar.)     36" deep doesn't sound like a lot to me for something that is supposed to hold back 4 feet worth of hillside, plus a fence and arbor, but I don't know what is necessary or recommended.  I'd be grateful for advice or recommendations. 

We purchased a house 4.5 years ago where the only updates the owners did was to terrace and design the yard. Amazing! However, as we are trying to make changes to the design, we've learned (and have observed from issues with the walls) that the stacked stone walls were not built appropriately. Examples include insufficient anchoring concrete for walls higher than 3', gaps between stone with nothing to secure them, small base stones supporting a lot of weight. 
We asked the landscape architects (licensed) to come look at the work, and they refused. They deny having any copies of the work, as it was done nearly 10 years ago at this point. Previous owners don't claim to have any documentation but they did include the price of the work in the sales paperwork. 

The person we'd like to work with brought their masonry person who says all the walls need rebuilding. This is an easily $50k project before we do anything else. Our original budget was much less than that, as that's a lot to invest when there are other critical things we need for our home still. 

We'd prefer not to approach this litigiously, but we are also at a loss. We've contacted our own home owner's insurance, as we are concerned about structural stability (walls are already pitched toward the house), and they said it's the architect's business insurance that would be responsible. 
I would appreciate insight into whether anyone else has dealt with this or the appropriate and less contentious (and ideally least costly!) approach. Are we incorrect in expecting the work (originally >$100k!!!!!!) to be sound?

I asked this question two years and didn't get any responses so I thought I'd try again. Can anyone recommend someone to repair a failing retaining wall? I'm looking specifically for repair specialists and do not want to replace the wall at this time. Thank you.

We have a large retaining wall that's on its last legs that we need to rebuild with permits. We also want to do some other landscape related work in our backyard, like a deck addition, building planters and other less heavy duty items. Are there good firms out there that can handle both the design and construction aspects of all of these projects for us? We've had some work done on our house and I'm getting construction research/decision fatigue; would love to work with a reputable one stop shop for all these projects if one exists. Thanks for your advice and recommendations.

I have a 50 ft retaining wall that is falling down in my back yard.  I didn't see any current posts with recommendations for this type of work.  Does anyone have someone they would recommend who does quality work at a reasonable price?
