"Andrew was very professional, friendly and accommodating. He gave us a great price and was very knowledgeable. I kept going back and fourth, changing the plan and he was very nice about it and answered all my questions. I would recommend him to a friend or family member without hesitation. He even set me up to pour my own dog pad at no cost since my plan resulted in using the full amount of the trucks capacity. So I m order to keep the cost down, instead of telling me I had to buy another truck, he just offered to set me up so I could just mix and pour a few bags myself. Lastly, we ran into a bit of a issue with my new house s side gate, the builder made the gate too low and ram bolted the studs into the cinderblock wall, thus, the gate could not be taken off and moved. Andrew came up with the solution of trimming the bottom to make room for the pour. I was skeptical, thinking it might look weird, but it looked great. And when I odorants expressed concerns about the issue, his response was even if I have to buy you a new gate, I ll honor my bid. That s legit."

"Just finished a 2 month, $20K project with Back to Eden. Mostly hardscaping - 2300 sqft of concrete (some of it stamped and tinted), drainage, new gate, river rock, new retaining wall with custom capstone, firepit. We are very happy with the results. Pete was very responsive to phone calls and text messages. He has good people working for him and he hires good subs. Pete's crew made sure that the fence was closed up each day so we could let the dogs out and his crew cleaned up after each day's work. We had record rains this year and it slowed things down but Pete's crew worked around the storms. We would definitely hire Back to Eden again - in fact we have a few more projects on the bucket list and will be calling them again."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Even if you think you know how to build a retaining wall theoretically, doing the actual work is a completely different story. There are lots of nuances in building retaining walls, and the slightest oversight can compromise their integrity. Therefore, we recommend you hire a pro to build, repair, or replace retaining walls.

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.

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.

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