"Excellent! On the first day, the crew completed all of the prep work. On
the second day, they worked the entire day to complete the project a
full day and a half ahead of their estimated end date for the project.
On the second day, the yard was transformed from lackluster to amazing.
We couldn't be more pleased with the work.
I talked to three
other companies before choosing Southern Appeal Landscape. They were not
the lowest bidder, but they were the only company that actually
diagnosed the problem and offered real solutions. They were prompt,
professional, and they did all work as contracted. The team who worked
on our yard obviously loves their work and they take pride in
perfection. The owner's two sons were part of the crew, and they worked
just as hard as the other crew members. Overall, this was a very
pleasant experience.

"It went well. Very hard workers - personable but professional. They were willing to work very closely with us to get the most bang for our buck. As its an old house that hadn't been kept up, a lot of serious problems were discovered when walls were torn out, floors ripped up, etc., so adding new electrical systems, plumbing/sewer systems, etc to make things safe and up-to-code, added time and unexpected expense. We weren't able to do all we'd have liked to do because our budget was limited. We will update the main bathroom, restore our patio and redo our old hardwood floors as our income allows, and we'd certainly go back to them for that work. Dan's the man!!! :-). He can do anything, it seems!!!

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

With foundation walls, the slab on grade and force at the top of the wall is resisted by flooring. With retaining walls, the force at the top of the wall is not resisted.

Each design is different, so we can’t say definitively if you’ll need a dedicated drainage system in place for a two-foot retaining wall. However, you can likely skip the drainage, as this project is typically served for walls that are 4 feet tall or more. Even with a relatively low wall, consider drainage if you are building on top of clay or poor-draining soil types or if there are buried water sources nearby, like a well used for other outdoor garden projects.

Sand and gravel are two suitable options for filling behind a retaining wall. If you’re building your own retaining wall, you’ll complete this part of the process—known as backfilling—after you finish laying the blocks. Make sure not to skip it—otherwise, you could wind up with drainage issues, which can cause your retaining wall to collapse.

Generally speaking, a retaining wall should be between 3 and 4 feet high, depending on variables such as the wall-building material, the purpose of the retaining wall, and more. If you want your retaining wall to be taller than 4 feet, check with your local building ordinance office for the maximum allotment. You may also need a special permit for retaining walls over 4 feet tall.
