"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."

"Just wow! I could not have hired a better crew. Our house looks amazing. They did such a great job at a reasonable cost, the neighbors hired them too. I can't say enough about these talented guys. They showed up on time, were very professional. They used Behr stain that is warrantied for 25 years. It looks gorgeous.

I look forward to hiring this crew again for future projects. They went above and beyond all expectations. Highly recommend this company.

"There isn’t anything this man cannot do. On this day Andy came and added a 4 plug outlet on wall, put TV mount up, and put 75” TV up on mount. Under it went in a floating shelf as well. I continue to approve of his work, work ethic and overall self. Very pleasant and he listens to what you want done. He will remain in my ever so important contact list."

"For several years, we had experienced an inch of water coming into a section of our garage every time it rained. We contacted APW to install a drain system that would address the problem. I was a bit concerned at first about how the final product would look. I should not have worried as it looks great and works perfectly. After several days of heavy rain recently, we have had not a drop of water make it into the garage. I am no longer concerned about slipping on puddles or having waterlogged boxes and tools getting moldy in the garage. I've already contacted them for a secondary project on the other side of my house."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

If you don’t backfill a retaining wall—either at all or adequately enough—the wall won’t drain well, and water will be able to pass through it. Poor drainage will lead to a warped wall or a buildup of hydrostatic pressure, which can eventually collapse your retaining wall. If you have particularly sloped land, consult a structural engineer to ensure your hardscaping is adding value to your home.

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.

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.

To maintain the integrity of your landscape, a retaining wall must be installed if the slope of the angle exceeds 35 degrees. The lean of the wall must be 1 inch per 12 inches in height to disperse the weight of the soil uniformly and guarantee the correct drainage of the soil.

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.
