If you are looking for a landscape boarder (a low wall to boarder your yard) this is not a retaining wall, and not a service that we provide, please see landscaping for this. We take great pride in our experience, expertise, quality and customer service, that we provide to meet the consumer's needs. It is our mission, to provide excellent workmanship and complete customer satisfaction, from start to completion of a project. In order to understand the needs and expectations of our customers, we take great care to work and communicate with every customer in a professional manner. Our reputation is based on service, safety and quality, regardless of how large or small the job.

"Our retaining wall had been put in incorrectly and had settled, cracked and bowed. The 1st quote I got was for $50,000, yes, 50k! I was told they would have to take out the entire wall and basically take out my entire backyard and then put it back. I don't have 50 grand. Then I came across Ken with Dirt Cheap Escavating. He quoted me 18 grand, they got the engineers seal of approval, replaced only what was needed and only removed a 5' wide swath in the affected area. The workers were polite and respectful. We would definitely use them again!"

Patios questions, answered by experts

A concrete pathway is very durable and can last upward of 30 years under normal conditions. Heavy snowfall and excessive heat may decrease this lifespan over time, as can vehicle traffic and salt applications during freezing conditions. Homeowners in extreme climates might notice cracking and deterioration after just 15 years, while those in more temperate climates should see multiple decades of life from their concrete.

Most standard concrete patios are around 4 inches deep. However, concrete patios that need to support very heavy items, like a hot tub or outdoor kitchen, should be around 6 inches thick to support the full weight of these items. You'll also want to make sure you install rebar for patios that need to support a lot of weight like this.

Whether a concrete walkway or sidewalk needs rebar depends on how it will be used. Walkways and sidewalks meant for light foot traffic don’t need rebar, and you can use wire mesh instead. But concrete surfaces that will see heavy machinery will likely need it.

The size of your driveway apron will vary based on your town's building codes. On average, they range between 12 and 24 feet wide and eight to 15 feet long. One end of the apron usually matches the width of the driveway—10 to 12 feet wide for a single-car driveway—while the street end flares out to allow cars to turn in and out.

If you’ve researched everything there is to know about gravel driveways and aren’t sold on the idea, you have options. Gravel alternative materials for driveways include traditional options like concrete and asphalt. If you want the look of natural stone, stone pavers are another option that sometimes uses gravel around the pavers. For maximum drainage, permeable driveways or brick driveways are also popular choices.
