"I am so happy with my freshly regrouted pavers. It’s better than it was when they were installed. The biggest joy is not having the rains spout against the wall going to the driveway. Derrick did a wonderful job. I just wish I knew about him sooner so he could have done the job originally. He and Sylvia are so personable."

"Boni Ramirez was timely on visiting and providing a price quote. The project start was delayed a few day, which we expected as it was a small hardscape project. Much more timely than any other lower Delaware hardscape contractor we contacted in the past. We would use this firm again."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

Sand and gravel are two suitable options for filling behind a retaining wall. If you’re building your own retaining wall, you’ll complete this part of the process—known as backfilling—after you finish laying the blocks. Make sure not to skip it—otherwise, you could wind up with drainage issues, which can cause your retaining wall to collapse.

To maintain the integrity of your landscape, a retaining wall must be installed if the slope of the angle exceeds 35 degrees. The lean of the wall must be 1 inch per 12 inches in height to disperse the weight of the soil uniformly and guarantee the correct drainage of the soil.

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.

Proper design and construction prevent erosion and add structural stability to landscapes.
