"Juan and his team work incredibly efficiently. They get the job done on time or ahead of schedule. If something doesn’t seem right, they fix it no questions asked. There are certainly areas of needed improvement, but I would definitely hire them again. Areas for improvement are: Cleanliness: I expect the job site to be cleaned up at the end of each day. We have young kids and unfortunately a lot of trash and sharp tools (such as razor blades) were left about the job site every day. Quality: While they would fix things that were pointed out, the finish work or craftsmanship lacks finesse. Things like turf edging, walls, and pathways not being straight. Something I’m frankly surprised was so prevalent even after I expressed the importance of this on multiple occasions. Ground cover installed very thin so weed barrier still shows through in many places. I’m grateful for all the hard work and I would encourage the above points to be improved to strengthen the business and quality."

They provided a detailed plan and were able to work within my budget. The installation team was professional and the work was completed on time. I highly recommend this service for anyone looking to enhance their outdoor living space."

"Luis and his crew did an amazing job. They worked for 3 days trimming hedges, bushes and vines. Removing bushes that were breaking a retaining wall. They trimmed our palm trees. They hauled away rusted patio furniture, wood, metal, and an old jacuzzi cover. Then they mowed, edged, and blew all the walkways and the patio. They were timely and courteous. I was so pleased with the work that I’ve hired them to do regular lawn service."

"It took us almost a year to be able to get our retaining wall done. Kristian and Quetzal Landscaping did a fantastic job including dealing with our neighbor and his concerns. We are moving out of the area, however, if we stayed and needed another wall built Kristian would be our go-to guy. Thank you so much Kristian."

"Emily and her team at SD Premier Outdoor were absolutely amazing to work with, turning our front and back yard dreams into reality! We had never tackled a landscaping project, so we needed a partner to walk us through the entire process from start to finish. Emily first took our rough ideas and created an immersive 3D design to help us visualize what it would look like on our lot specifically. She sat with us and made live edits so we could tinker with the plans and ensure we were comfortable with the designs. She brought us to various projects in our neighborhood to inspire ideas and help us feel confident in our choices. She took us to look at paver options in person, and accompanied us to the nursery with her greenscape team to pick options. She even helped us through the process of submitting our landscaping application to the HOA, which was no walk in the park! The installation itself went very smoothly. She was able to accommodate a trip we had previously planned and use that time to install the pavers while we were out of town. While we were in town, her crew was extremely professional and easy to communicate with, and clearly expert craftsmen. Before, during, and after installation Emily was easy to work with, always available by phone or text, and generally a joy to interact with. We'd happily recommend Emily and SD Premier Outdoor to anyone looking to improve their landscaping!"

"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’."

"Ismael did a retaining wall and patio pavers for me. He responded quickly with a fair price. His team started early every morning with great attitude and they work til the job is done. I have recommended him to friends. I'll definitely call him when I have another project."

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, 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.

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.  

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. 

Through proper drainage solutions and compacting the foundation soil.
