"I recently had the pleasure of working with Just Stamping Concrete for a landscape design project, and I cannot recommend them enough! They are a true gem in the industry, and their work speaks for itself."
"The owner and his brother were on site every day. They were diligent, hard-working, and determined to do the best job possible. In addition they were able to install a solar gate to the driveway. I am extremely pleased to recommend this company. 5/5 stars plus more if possible."
"We worked with Ali (sales manager) and Tony (project manager), who took the time to design a project that made sense for our property and our budget, made a number of suggestions and recommendations and were never pushy or tried to "sell" us on something. The crew really went above and beyond to provide top quality workmanship and overall we were in very good hands. Highly recommended!"
"We recently had Mega Power Electric Inc install a solar system and panels. The President and provided excellent communication all the way through the process. He even met with us after installation to explain the almost incomprehensible PG&E bill. Although not the least expensive bid, his was competitive and I felt he was as interested in educating me about solar and the various types of panels and inverter systems as he was in selling a system. He demonstrated how the array of panels would meet our energy needs and as opposed to some of the other companies, wasn't selling us more than we needed. We are very satisfied with our solar system and I highly recommended Mega Power Electric Inc."

"They did the job, but they didn't do it to my expectation. I was watching the way they worked and it seemed like there was communication trouble between the laborers and the owner of the company. The owner would give a different instruction from the one I gave and the workers would do something different. I told the foreman what I needed done and how I needed it done so that he could relay it to the laborers who didn't speak English at all. They didn't clean up as well as I expected them to clean up. I was generally happy with their work, but I was unhappy with how the work turned out. It was a communication problem but other than that, they were nice guys."
"Employees are very hard working gentlemen. Frank is awsome with his crew. Job was done in 3 days. They all cared about your personal belongings in the yard. My neighbors are so impressed that they decided to hire this group for their yard and fencing. I would use this company agaIn and let my friends and neighbors know how wonderful the outcome is on the job that was done. Cynthia R"
"Very professional, easy to get along with. Brisio Garcia (owner) and his employee start their day early and on time. Brisio never asked for any money upfront and on the third day we insisted that he take a partial payment as he was incurring many expenses for tractor, rebar, concrete, etc. Brisio was very helpful in design and color selection. We weren't sure about the stamping and color so he sent us down the street to another job of his that he had recently finished. This helped to visualize the color and pattern. He also provided us with a color chart to help with the selection. At the end of every day they would sweep, hose down, and clean up the entire area. Their tools and equipment were always organized and put away at the end of the day. Never had a big mess to stare at. Would definitely hire again for any future job."

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.
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.
Rebar is a steel support that goes inside concrete to prevent structural damage over time. Concrete is susceptible to impact, weight, and tension. By inserting rebar into the concrete during the installation, you can help extend its lifespan and avoid hazardous situations where the foundation of your home gives way to tensile forces.
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.
