"We spent 3 months trying to find the right contractor to tear down and rebuild our deck. We hire Brian ONeill after receiving a bid and discussing the project with him. He listened to what we wanted and worked with us to come up with the correct deck configuration that we wanted. He is a true craftsman and exceptionally easy to work with. We couldn't be happened with the finished product and that he did everything he said he would do and was a complete pro before, during, and after. Thank you Brian!"

"Perfectly! The quality of their work is exceptional. They are extremely dedicated to their performance the quality of their work. If parts they ordered are not up to their quality standards, Kris & Aaron find parts that match. Everything matches and looks beautiful. Even the retaining wall is gorgeous. When I wanted the tops of my gates to reflect my garage window shape, Aaron matched them beautifully. They look spectacular Natural Vibrations has one team. Because there are not separate teams with associated quality control issues, everything is always beautiful. I suspect they could do anything connected to construction. And would report honestly if they couldn’t. Because of their commitment to quality, at times I have had to wait for them. They are totally and completely worth it and are not the only construction company I will use. They are very honest; I have had no hesitation leaving them in the house or supplying them with means to enter if I am away. I recommend Natural Vibrations without reservation."

"Done within one week. Superb job trying to match other panels with textured Cement block. They went above and beyond to do my big job. They really know masonry. They are very friendly and courteous. Hole left by a vehicle is now closed in and matches the rest of the wall, and is stronger and supports the other weaker panels. It could have only been done better if Slump Stone was still available. The texture job they did to make it match looks better than the one done down the street."

"We had an excellent experience working with Vitoria Pavers Contractor! We wanted to update our long driveway by removing the old concrete, installing pavers, and repaving and reviving our side yard. From start to finish, the process was seamless. Mike from Vitoria responded to our inquiry promptly and came to our home to discuss our options. He provided thoughtful recommendations, and we loved his ideas. The project took about a week, and throughout that time, the Vitoria team was professional, communicative, and respectful of our space. They ensured that the large equipment and materials were not disruptive to our neighbors, which we truly appreciated. The final result was fantastic, and even after the project was completed, they returned to address a small lingering issue—showcasing their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Vitoria Pavers is a great company to work with, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-quality paving services!"

"I just completed a job with Landscape Solutions in Los Gatos and wanted to share my experience with anyone who might be looking for a landscape company. Our project was a small yard with a combination of hard surface and the installation of artificial turf for our dogs. I was surprised how good it looks and the dogs seem to enjoy it as much as real grass. I interviewed a few companies and chose Landscape Solutions based on how easy they were to talk to and how transparent they were with their process including design and billing. The entire job went very smoothly. I changed a few things after we started, and they were upfront about how that would impact the time to completion and the cost. In both cases their estimates were accurate. Their pricing was competitive and given the quality of the finish product and the ease of working with them I found it to be very reasonable. The guys they had doing the work were very professional, polite, and easy to work with. They cleaned up after each days work and returned the next morning right on time. I appreciated that they were very respectful of my time and my home. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and I have already recommended them to a friend who may need work done in the future. They are a 5 star contractor. I highly recommend them. They did an amazing job with the lighting and the drip system as well."

"Carlos and his crew did a wonderful job installing a new paver patio at our home. It was our first experience with pavers, and Carlos guided us through the whole process from design, material selection and installation. His crew was punctual, professional and respectful. When things unexpectedly occurred or were outside our expectations, as is typical in such projects, Carlos went above a and beyond to make sure we were happy with the situation and final product. The result is a beautiful paver patio. It rare to find a company so committed to customer satisfaction. Highly recommend."

"Acer Landscaping & Tree Service were a pleasure to work with. They provided a fair and reasonable quote for removing several trees and their stumps in my backyard. Since the owner was in my local area, he was able to visit the site and provide a quote on the same day I called. The owner and his crew were onsite early and worked efficiently and professionally while maintaining social distancing and/or wearing of face masks. I'm very pleased with their services and will hire them again for future work."

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.

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.

While vinyl is the least costly material for building a retaining wall, the most cost-effective method is to use wood or concrete blocks for a DIY retaining wall under 2 feet tall. Wood is inexpensive but lasts 20 years or more with care. Concrete can cost a little more but is stronger and will last longer with less maintenance.

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.

Regular inspection for issues like cracks or leaning and ensuring drainage stays clear.
