"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."

"Great in every way!! Started Dec 19 and worked like Santa's elves. They arrive at 7:30 and work til 5:30 and bring their lunch and drinks. They are organized, diligent and Greg is honest and provides great value ( he was half my first estimate to save my pool from going down the hill!) Mine was a specialized concrete project and the slabs had to be jacked up and 85 bags of concrete had to be put under the slabs to form a retaining wall. Then they built a deck and put together a large gazebo. Everything went so well I hired them to finish off my garage and they did THAT quickly and for a good price. Being GREEK descent, Greg knows how to make atone and concrete and rooms that will LAST. He also fixed some plumbing that another handyman did that didn't work. He is pleasant, amenable to changes . I give him a five on everything he does!! Carrie in UTC/UCSD area"

"Thanks to Kent, Carlos and the rest of the team for the great work on converting our front yard to drought tolerant landscaping, expanding/hardscaping our side yard and hardscaping our backyard. From start to finish, C&H exceeded our expectations across the full spectrum of the project: design, pricing, demo, grading, tree trimming, irrigation, fence construction, paver wall construction, drainage, concrete install, plantings, lighting, fit & finish and clean up. C&H has the people, equipment and subs to get the job done right, on time and on budget with few surprises or headaches. They also went above and beyond the scope of the project to make things shine and impressively took the long view that not nickel & diming the customer would ultimately yield the highest ROI (and customer satisfaction). Kent and/or Carlos were on site everyday and proactively asked for our input/approvals while keeping the project on schedule. They also showed great respect during the demo process by saving and relocating existing plants - a great touch. We highly recommend C&H.

"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’."

Greenland has installed pools, spools, water- features, hot tubs, pavers, retaining walls, canary palms, flower beds and pots, irrigation and drainage systems, etc. effectively many varying combinations of hardscape and softscape in landscape jargon. We highly recommend this business!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.

DIY is possible for small projects. Professional installation ensures structural integrity and durability for larger walls.
