"I hired this company to design my backyard landscape and they did a fantastic job. The designer was creative and came up with a beautiful plan that incorporated all of my ideas. The installation process was seamless and the team was professional and efficient. I now have a backyard that I can be proud of and enjoy all year round. I highly recommend this company for anyone looking to enhance their outdoor space."

"Luis was the first to respond to our request for quote. He was prompt and showed up on time. He listened to our ideas and gave some of his own. We ended up with the perfect solution of a low retaining wall around the yard edge and defining a play area around our grand babies play set. We also added a higher retaining wall and garden planter on one side of the yard and a stand alone 3 x 12 veggie garden planter for me. Luis was always on time or called if there was a schedule change (we had rain and a couple of sick days) He told us up front he wasn’t the cheapest nor the most expensive and he lived up to his word. We finished on time and on budget, hard to do these days but communication was the key. By the time the project was done we knew we had a new friend as well as a trusted professional. We strongly recommend you go with these guys, they put their heart and soul into their work!!!!!!!!! The first two photos are before and the others are after."

"We needed to replace a failing retaining wall along the curb of our home. Gregory helped us understand our options, made a plan that matched our needs (textured block wall with concrete footing for long term stability), and gave a very fair quote. The Veria Construction team completed the work ahead of schedule, and did a great job. I would happily refer Veria Construction to a friend, or contact them again for a next project."

"We love the work completed by the employees of San Diego Premier Outdoor. They did a fantastic job of paving all sides of our home, redoing a 30 year old backyard, and creating a cool oasis in which to enjoy outdoor living. Our dog thinks it was all done for her. (see photos) Emily listened to what we wanted redone, and with her creative design ideas, fashioned areas that were beyond our wildest expectations! We just keep walking around and smiling. Andy and his crew of expert craftsmen worked non stop. Neighbors came by daily to find out what was being done and all commented on the work ethic of the crew. Emily came to the site at least twice a day and kept in constant touch as to what was happening and what was to be done next. The paver and light installation that now surround our home, pet turf installation, pergola, and an old wall that needed to be stuccoed and capped were completed to perfection. This is an honest company that is reasonable priced, easy to work with, and strives to meet the customerâ  s wishes. They are reliable, on time, and deliver on their promises. Emily has a a high degree of integrity that is accompanied by a great sense of humor. We highly recommend San Diego Premier Outdo/Users/myralfluty/Desktop/IMG_1424.pdfor. /Users/myralfluty/Desktop/IMG_1421.pdf/Users/myralfluty/Desktop/IMG_1418.pdf Myra F."

"Noe came to our house the day I initiated my search. He completed the job in fewer days than projected! He removed old concrete, installed pavers and cleaned up afterwards - it looks great, plus his bid was lower than others’."

"Mr. Molina provided a reasonable estimate and was able to start work in less than a week's time. My job involved removal of concrete in two areas. I was amazed at how quick he was able to demo the existing concrete, form and place. The results are amazing, I could not believe what a difference it made to the overall appearance of my home."

"Victor was the most professional company that came to give me a bid. He was the only one who gave me a detailed written estimate. He took the time to completely ck my sprinklers made sure of what exactly needed to be repaired or replaced. Planted new flowers, plants & transplanted for me. All new soil where needed. The price was good. I would have been disappointed with any other company. He's charged me a good price for my monthly service. I will only hire him to do the back 1/2 acre. I highly recommend his service."

"I highly recommend AAA Hardscapes - Andy and his team did an amazing job installing my patio pavers. From start to finish it was a seamless process. Andy helped order pavers and materials needed, built a solid foundation, and executed installation in a timely manner. My expectations were exceeded and I have already received compliments. Pricing was very reasonable and quality of work is excellent. I love how everything looks and so glad I went with this company!"

"I got some cheaper quotes but they didnâ t give me the confidence that I felt when Michael anticipated some drainage concerns before I even voiced them. His team solved my drainage issues and gave me a nice patio extension and walkway. They were competent, hardworking and fulfilled promises. Now we are commissioning them for some gravel path/edging work. Some of the estimators I met with seemed incompetent and one was downright slimy and intrusive. So glad I found this company."

"Our new backyard, completed by Rock N Block turned out AMAZING! We haven’t used our backyard for almost 10 years because it was in major need of an upgrade. Brandon came out and helped us design a winner. Entire job was done in 3 days. Great value, and amazing service. Thank you so much!!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

The longevity of flood walls depends on how they were constructed, but most wood, gravel, and cement flood walls last 10 years. While aluminum flood walls may cost far more initially, they can be a good investment as they can last decades and will not be damaged by exposure to the elements.

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.

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.
