"Cory is extremely professional and communicative. We had him design and install plants and bushes, including mulch. And paved a patio for us, including putting in a retaining wall. I was very impressed with the work he did, and it was affordable!"

"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."

"I recommend James Hosmer & his crew at Halo Construction for installing ceramic tile flooring without any reservations. Here is a summary of my experience with Halo Construction: After asking around and finding no one who had been pleased with their ceramic tile installation and interviewing a couple of tile contractors who I did not choose to hire, I consulted Angie's List to find a ceramic tile installation crew to install heavy ceramic tile in an alternating -- grey & white -- diamond pattern in the bottom level of my split level home. After reading the Angie's List reviews, I called James Hosmer of Halo Construction to come and look at my tile project and he came over promptly. My husband and I decided to hire him -- even though we had to wait a month for him to begin work -- because of James's knowledgable and artistic approach to assessing the project. He immediately focused on what we wanted with the tile and layout and -- at this initial stage -- suggested that the decorative trim pieces that I had ordered be placed about 6 inches from the wall instead of directly next to the wall -- as he said the trim would show up better with a little space between the wall and the rest of the tile. And I thought about this for a second and a light went off in my head and I thought -- He's right..... He's right... Why didn't I think of that? And he offered a very reasonable price for labor and I asked him for an estimate of costs for his materials and realized later he was exactly on the money there. I signed the Contract the next day and although I had a bit of trepidation about paying $$ half up front (I only knew him from Angie's List although he did offer some recommendations from people my husband and I knew or knew of) I waited the month until his agreed upon start date and he started right on time and he and his crew were very professional in all aspects of carrying out their job. I communicated with him on the second day about one change my husband & I decided we wanted in the spacing of the tiles and although it cost him some time to redo a section -- he did not complain -- just kept his unerring focus on doing a good job and he ended up doing a great job that my husband and I plan to enjoy for years and years and years. I can't convey how very, very pleased I am with the result of the ceramic tile installation by Halo Construction -- because then I would have to bore you with my three years of selecting tile and samples cracking, advice from architects in the family, and my hesitation to finally commit to doing this first (large, for us) renovation in the home my husband & I bought 17 years ago. It can be a scary process for someone who has heard stories of bad work , etc., so having an outcome with perfect, artistically laid tile has exceeded my expectations. The work is beautiful and James is free to show you photos or to make an appointment to actually see the floor. Because of the pride James & crew take in their work and their dedication to customer satisfaction, I recommend Halo without reservation for any tile project -- big, medium, or small -- this crew knows what they are doing and they get it done right. I had the pleasure of meeting James's adorably cute and plucky three year old and think that when anyone asks her what her dad does, she should reply that he makes other people's houses beautiful! Hire this team and you will not be sorry....

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Small retaining walls still require a foundation of some kind, typically a concrete footing. This helps to ensure the wall is structurally sound and prevents the ground from shifting over time, especially during those winter freeze/thaw cycles. The footing helps spread the weight of the wall and the load it carries over a larger area of the ground, thus assisting with stability. This is true of small retaining walls, larger rock garden walls, and the like. 

Options include concrete, stone, brick, and wood, tailored for specific design needs.

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.

DIY is possible for small projects. Professional installation ensures structural integrity and durability for larger walls.

Generally, a railroad tie retaining wall consisting of a single line of ties should be between 3 and 4 feet tall—and the height often tops out at around 6 feet. You can go taller, but you may need additional footings and reinforcements, including a second layer of railroad ties to support the added weight of the soil it’s holding back.
