"Itâ s hard to find contractors who are reliable and want to deliver the best possible product and experience to their customers. But these guys were just that! I had 2 large areas of turf installed. They were very communicative, reliable, precise, and quick to get the job done. There was a slight hiccup with the suppliers turf, which showed a slight seam when installed. Joe followed up to ensure the install was perfect. Without me even mentioning the seam, he ended up replacing and upgrading the entire project with a better quality turf. No additional cost and was completely finished in 2 days. Wow! The turf and install is absolutely beautiful. Couldnâ t be happier!! Recommend these guys all day long. Hire them! Thank you, thank you Joe!!!"

"They took on our small, challenging job that no one else would even quote out for us. The result is amazing and a reflection of the experience and knowledge the owner, Freddie Paz, has at his craft. They even came out during a holiday week so we were able to enjoy the backyard patio over the holidays with our family. I definitely recommend this company."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

The lifespan of a retaining wall varies based on its material, installation quality, maintenance, and local climate, with an average range of 20 to 100 years. Retaining walls made from durable materials like concrete, stone, and brick generally last a minimum of 50 years. Concrete walls typically last between 50 and 100 years, while brick can last for over a century in ideal conditions. Timber retaining walls can last from 20 to 40 years, depending on the wood quality, and pressure-treated wood walls average around 30 years. It is important to note that a retaining wall can fail prematurely if it was poorly constructed, for example, with inefficient footings or without necessary rebar reinforcements.

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.  

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.
