"I highly recommend Armando and his team! Heâ s come out to do a variety of projects at our home (building a retaining wall, installing a flagstone patio, updating barriers for mature trees and building up the grading from our home following foundation repairs). Each time, he provides a thorough estimate, clearly communicates timelines and has provided high quality work. We are very pleased with our experiences working with Armando!"

"Peppers Landscapping was amazing to work with. We had a lot of work done overall; new landscaping, stamped concrete work, gas fire pit install. Gabrielle was up front and provided guidance (pros and cons) to items we were debating about doing. The work came out with such quality and truly could not be happier. One item of note is, we removed the grass and added turf to our yard. Need to compress my photos as they won’t upload :/"

"Rich Che and the CNS Empire Landscape crew did fabulous improvements on our family home in Wheat Ridge. They corrected drainage on three sides of an addition so water flows away from the house instead of into the crawlspace; replaced 30 feet of exit pipe from the perimeter drain around the foundation of the addition; installed new sod; and removed weeds from landscaped rock areas in the front yard. The improvements look great. Shortly afterwards, I engaged an inspector to check the foundation. The inspector said he visits about 400 houses each year, and this drainage remediation is among the best he’s seen."

"Henry walked us through the process and gave us reasonable quotes. We ended up postponing work done due to the pandemic and Henry honored the original quote. Our old timber retaining wall was rotting. Henry and his team replaced the timber retaining wall with a stone retaining wall and helped clear out rocks and plants. He also built a retaining wall garden in front of our house. Henry helped us pick out trees and plants suitable to our preferences for a mountain feel with medium to low maintenance. We are very satisfied with the quality of his work and would hire Henry and his team again for any future landscaping projects."

"Short version. Awesome design, met all of my requirements. Blown away by speed and quality of the landscaping work which I asked them to continue on and do. No reservations about recommending them every single time. Fernando and his team were just fantastic. Long version: Landscaping contractors are hard to read. There are so many of them, and some can talk a good game and then take 3 months because it's actually just two guys in a truck. So I was nervous until the first day when I think eight people, in safety vests showed up and began the project. I was having a full landscaping removal and replacement. Day one, the fence was out, and the new one was halfway up. Over a very short period of time, back yard slope was reduced and an excellent retaining wall installed. New French drains, new cement path from front driveway all the way to deck in backyard. Sprinklers, rocks, grass, bushes, sod, all came in waves. They used good equipment, took great care to not damage neighbor lawns, etc. On the design, I'd asked for something a little more modern, not xeriscaped, but less wasteful, and they delivered. I paid the extra for the 3D rendering which was awesome. It made it very easy to see what I was going to get. They were open to questions and suggestions, sent me the options on stuff like outside lighting and stain colors when appropriate, so again, no surprises. The worst thing I can say about the entire project was somebody forgot to toss a bottle in the trash one day. That's it. No damage, no surprises, no disappearances, none of the nightmares I've had with other landscaping projects in previous places. This was a dream. The idea of spending this much money (since it was a total redo) was very stressful, but seeing it come together so quickly and so nicely really helped a bunch. Final thought, Comcast probably didn't bury your cable deep enough, and even though it's located correctly, it will probably get ripped out. It took Comcast 3 weeks to fix it. That was not awesome and isn't Colorado Sunshine's fault. Be prepared."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

If you don’t backfill a retaining wall—either at all or adequately enough—the wall won’t drain well, and water will be able to pass through it. Poor drainage will lead to a warped wall or a buildup of hydrostatic pressure, which can eventually collapse your retaining wall. If you have particularly sloped land, consult a structural engineer to ensure your hardscaping is adding value to your home.

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.

Regular inspection for issues like cracks or leaning and ensuring drainage stays clear.

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. 

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.
