"I had hired this Company based on observation on their prior work in the City where I live and oversee work through the City Engineer. The scope of work included grading, installation of irrigation system and sodding of the affected area within a large, City Owned Sports Complex. Work was performed on a very tight schedule and was completed on-time and looks wonderful. Jimmy Eades worked within tight sports schedules a produced a superior end result! I plan to engage them again on upcoming projects and would recommend them to anyone looking for an outstanding job at competitive pricing."

"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."

"Jose came out promptly to look at our disintegrating retaining wall and spent alot of time looking and measuring and answering questions. He gave us an estimate and began working right away. The work was excellent and he was always available to answer any questions during the process. We will definitely call him again the next time we have any work to be done."

"I called Heath for an estimate on bobcat work to level two areas in our small back yard, one for an above ground pool and the other for a play set with a slide. He visited our site, and after discussing the project and learning of his background as a professional builder we decided to hire him for the excavation as well as leveling with a transit, the construction of a retaining wall, material hauling and tree removal. He was prompt, courteous, responsible and professional throughout the entire project. The quality of the work is excellent and we could not have found a better person to work with. He was a very hard worker and able to complete the work ahead of schedule before rain set in. There were a few changes that we made as we went, and this was not a problem at all. Overall a great experience and I would not hesitate to recommend him and will be calling him for any future work as well!

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, answered by experts

Proper design and construction prevent erosion and add structural stability to landscapes.

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.

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.

Railroad ties can be good for retaining walls, but it depends on the area. They have a desirable rustic look and are durable. The problem is they’re treated with creosote, a preservative the EPA says poses a risk to humans and wildlife. Over time, the preservative seeps out of the wood and into the ground. Many areas have banned the use of creosote-treated wood on residential properties. If your area does allow it, never use railroad ties near an edible garden or drinking water source. Instead, use wood that’s treated with an EPA-approved preservative or a wood-alternative composite material.

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.
