"Contacted Absolute Appeal to get quote on replacing a 9-year old flagstone patio that was in bad shape and find/fix a leak along one side. Within a couple of days Sonny Lobato (firm owner) visited our home, reviewed what we wanted done and provided a quote for the work the same day. Sonny took a lot of time to in providing information on options for the project and assisting us in selecting the pavers. Once a decision was made the work began in just over one week and was completed (including debris removal and clean-up) in less than a week. The materials had to be moved by wheelbarrow across our front and back yard and Sonny protected the lawn by placing wood planks where the wheelbarrow had to cross the grass. Sonny was on site most of the time work was being done and he did all the skill work. We found Sonny to be very professional and easy to work with. In addition, he kept us informed about what work was to be done and when it was to be done. I would definitely recommend Absolute Appeal."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

With foundation walls, the slab on grade and force at the top of the wall is resisted by flooring. With retaining walls, the force at the top of the wall is not resisted.

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.

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.  

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.
