"I hired Cove from watching then complete a bridge and driveway(s) repair. I couldn't believe how well the project turned out and how well they remain years later. When my driveway needed repair, I immediately thought of Cove. Juan analyzed the origin of the problem and his crew of professional, polite workers, completed the job quickly and actually went beyond the expected amount of work. The finished project is beautiful and our erosion problem has been solved. Juan is a pleasure to work with and he and his crew go beyond what is expected to please the customer. I would rate him many more stars if I could and I highly recommend him for any concrete work!"

"Will and his team's attention to detail is phenomenal, you can't go wrong with this group for driveway repair and/or an extention. Those driving by were already giving them complements as they worked, never seen anything like it. Must be their Christian work ethic showing through in all that they did (c.f., Col 3:17). As an aerospace engineer, I highly recommend CRC for commercial and/or residential concrete work. A job very well done, and kudos to your team. Eric Skowbo, Melbourne FL."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.  

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.

There are contractors specifically trained in the design and construction of retaining walls. Retaining wall contractors are skilled at dealing with the soil on your property and assessing what kind of drainage should be installed. They will recommend the best materials to use for the project and can handle the processing of permits by local authorities.

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.
