"Daniel and his crew did an excellent job. Prompt and thorough communication through the whole process. The retaining wall they put in is sturdy and looks great, plus they finished a day ahead of schedule. His crew also helped remove some old sod and debris in the yard which saved us from needing to rent a dumpster."

"The men that did the work related to the prepping the yard for the retaining wall, placing the rock and pavers for the walkway did a very good job and it really looked nice. I've worked in construction and building maintenance for over 50 years, so I know what's good workmanship and what's poor. The worker who did the framing for the new sidewalk, steps and porch was poor workmanship. Nothing was level or straight and I had to have the other crew correct the forms before concrete was poured. The guys that finished the concrete did an excellent job. Never let D&D workers connect the lawn sprinkler piping to your house water piping. They seem to be handymen, not real plumbers. Beside not installing necessary valves and fittings to winterizing the sprinkler system, all the copper pipe was installed crooked, under stress and not supported correctly. Overall, half the crew did very good work, the other half needs training."

Customers say: Super punctual

"I recently had two retaining walls built on our property by Gabe @ Peppers Landesign Services, and after the heavy storms we've experienced, I can confidently say that they exceeded every expectation. The retaining walls performed flawlessly, they are beautiful and handled a tremendous amount of water without any issues at all. It's obvious that the project was designed and built with quality, craftsmanship and attention to detail. The entire team was professional, knowledgeable, and great to work with from start to finish. It's reassuring to know we made the right investment and we're incredible grateful for the outstanding work. If you're looking for a landscape contractor who stands behind their work and delivers exceptional results, I highly recommend Gabe and his team. Thanks for a job very well done!"

"As Fernando said to me, We are a well oiled machine and indeed they are. I'm very happy with the results. The crew worked fast but efficiently. Our project was a frontyard short retaining wall and a replacement backyard patio using BELGARD pavers."

"Frank was fantastic! We had a bluestone patio installed in our backyard under the pergola, but needed to have it extended. Our original contractor was unwilling to come back for the small project. We are so grateful we found Frank! Not only was he an exceptionally detailed contractor, but when he wasn’t happy with the look of one of the stone cuts, he replaced it. Much gratitude for his great work!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

Costs range from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on size, material, and design complexity.

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.

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.

Each design is different, so we can’t say definitively if you’ll need a dedicated drainage system in place for a two-foot retaining wall. However, you can likely skip the drainage, as this project is typically served for walls that are 4 feet tall or more. Even with a relatively low wall, consider drainage if you are building on top of clay or poor-draining soil types or if there are buried water sources nearby, like a well used for other outdoor garden projects.
