"Jeff, Leonard and all the workers are the BEST !! My new yard is my favorite place to hang out. They listened to my dream, took into consideration my budget and gave me what I asked for. They also completed it when they said they would ( that never happens). The workers were nice as well as respectful of my space. They even put up with my naughty dogs when necessary. If I ever decide to do my front yard I will definitely be calling them back."

"Very well. The men worked very hard in very hot weather. They completed the job a day early. They always left me a text when they took a break or needed to pick up something and they cleaned up their mess. I am very pleased and will use them when I’m ready to work on the side yard."

"Fausto and his crew were easy to work with, professional, and friendly. We wanted to extend our existing patio and add a pad for shed. Fausto came out to my house, took measurements, offered ideas and sent me a quote that evening. When his crew came out to set the forms for the concrete some plants had to be removed and it was done with care for the surrounding area. We had a fence post that needed repair, I asked if they could handle that too the answer was yes and fence problem solved. When it's time for the walkways I know who I am going to call.

Mary’s Pest Control Locally Run, Built on Trust Clark Pest Control was founded in 1940 and it was started by a World War II veteran the owner’s grandpa, the company soon became a thriving business with 26 locations that served residents as well as businesses throughout California and Northwestern Nevada. With that many locations, it became one of the largest pest control companies in the United States and one of the biggest in the West. The business was started by my family, for whom I worked my entire life. My father was an owner and a general manager of Clark south. However, they sold the business to a major corporation, and is no longer run by our family, so to carry on the tradition, I left the company to start Mary’s Pest Control. Our pest technicians will provide you with guidance on pest-proofing your home. Among the services we provide are the control of rats, mice, and other rodents, as well as bed bug control, termites, and mosquito control. We have been in this industry for as long as we can remember. Mary’s Pest Control is based on the principles our family has established since the inception of our business. With decades of knowledge and expertise, we have the top-of-the-line chemicals and equipment to treat and prevent any kind of infestation. Surviving and thriving, we made sure our customers were satisfied. Working on over twenty-four branches, we were one of the biggest pest control companies in California. However, soon we sold our company. But our client’s loyalty motivated us to kick start the family business again, and we’re here to serve you once again. Same Vision, Better Solutions – Mary’s Pest Control.

"Great service from Mary's Pest Control, I even noticed I had some spiders 🕷️ that were making webs from my roof eve to the ground. Mary's eliminated them 👍🏻"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, to build a retaining wall, a permit is required. Similarly, any repairs or modifications to an existing retaining wall require permits. If the planned wall measures higher than 4 feet, most municipalities require designs and permits come through a licensed engineer. In some locations, if the wall is shorter than 4 feet, a permit may not be required. For the requirements in your area, contact your local government.

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.

If you've decided you'd like to skip the cost of restoring a brick exterior wall after considering whether you should repair or replace brick on your house, you can consider installing fiber cement siding over brick for a cost of $2 to $6 per square foot. When done properly, cement siding over brick offers a durable, low-maintenance option that can actually reduce your home's energy costs. It's also attractive. However, improper installation or installation over heavily compromised brick can cause water damage. 

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.
