"B & J Pools installed us an in-ground pool late last year. They do great work. I would recommend them to anyone. Stayed on the timeline they presented and completed the pool on time. We love our pool and kids have been in it everyday this summer. Highly recommend B&J pools."

"The whole process went quite well.  We met with Jake in June where he fully described his services and what he envisioned for our area.  Having received several glowing recommendations from others that had used him (for example, he installed the water feature in the butterfly house of our local botanical gardens), we asked him to submit a design.  He provided an overall design about a week later that we liked and we gave him the approval to put us on his calendar.  One thing we liked about Jake was he was upfront and honest, letting us know the design might change once he started working the area; he likes to let the area dictate the design, not the other way around.  If it was going to be a significant change, he would stop work and discuss the changes with us.  Luckily he "read" the area correctly the first time and there were no significant changes. Jake's calendar is very full so the first time he could fit us in was mid to late September. Due to delays on other projects that was pushed to mid October, which we don't consider unusual for this type of project.  He estimated it would take 10 days to install; it took 13 mainly due to having to order and wait for a larger pond liner than expected.  Jake's crew was professional, polite, and worked very hard.  They arrived on time and worked the entire time.  He also installed landscaping around water feature and he used quality, sizable plants and didn't skimp on the cost (camellias, gardenias, encore azaleas, hawthorns, etc).  When we asked him to make one change (cement the rock retaining wall so the dog wouldn't knock it down), he agreed with no increase in cost.  And finally, he returned after the install to go over maintenance of the pond equipment and water plants.

In short, we are exceedingly pleased with this company, would use them again, and definitely recommend them to anyone considering a water feature."

We had a minor leak in my bedroom closet. He went into the attic and could not see where the leak was coming from. He looked for the leak from the roof as well and he let me know that my roof should have about 7 years left in it. He was on time and polite but only at my home for about 15 minutes.

"We recently  bought a house built in 1952, and if one could imagine, we are having a lot of work done, which requires us to deal with several different company's. After all the company's we have dealt with, this is the first company that showed up on time. I was very impressed with Chris's work because the wall he built where the door used to be looks like it has always been there. It blends in perfectly. At the completion of the job, Chris cleaned up the area as if he was never there. I  highly recommend this company because he takes pride in his work and is very customer orientated. Plus, I was very happy with the price.

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

There are contractors specifically trained in the design and construction of retaining walls. Retaining wall contractors are skilled at dealing with the soil on your property and assessing what kind of drainage should be installed. They will recommend the best materials to use for the project and can handle the processing of permits by local authorities.

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.

Yes, to build a retaining wall, a permit is required. Similarly, any repairs or modifications to an existing retaining wall require permits. If the planned wall measures higher than 4 feet, most municipalities require designs and permits come through a licensed engineer. In some locations, if the wall is shorter than 4 feet, a permit may not be required. For the requirements in your area, contact your local government.

Most railroad tie retaining walls have a life span of 20 to 30 years, though you may need to replace your wall sooner if it’s repeatedly exposed to heavy rain, runoff, and excess moisture. Railroad ties are typically treated with creosote, which makes them much more durable than untreated wood. Though they last longer, they don’t last forever. For the most longevity, make sure your retaining wall has a sturdy base and steel reinforcements. You should also install drainage to direct water away from the wall.

A retaining wall can only function as a fence if it’s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn’t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall.
