"The job entailed:
(1) removing old, beat up Bermuda grass;
(2) leveling out the back yard (removing an ineffective swale which rendered the yard difficult to walk in);
(3) removing prior stone walled garden areas - without damaging the plants;
(4) laying out the wall - this took us a while, with Scott patiently repositioning stones an inch or two to create a wall line that is aesthetically pleasing;
(5) installing a drain system behind the wall, and packing it with clean, black dirt ($600 worth of it!);
(6) capping off the wall with decorative stones, which were glued down for stability - creating extra seating in the garden;
(7) laying sod - gorgeous, thick, premium fescue cut to precise bed lines;
(8) repositioning existing sprinkler heads to provide coverage to the garden above the wall;
(9) trenching bed lines in the large front yard (which has healthy, but invasive, Bermuda grass) and refreshing the pine straw mulch at the bed lines throughout the yard;
(10) cleaning up the job site.
In just under a week, Ground Cover transformed a sad-looking yard into a place we enjoy inviting friends. I love looking out the kitchen window to see the graceful curves of the wall, and I look forward to filling the new easy-access garden with plants.
Summary: The first thing I appreciate about Scott is that he takes the time to consult with the homeowner on the  best plan for the job: when to schedule it, what materials to use, how to arrange for deliveries at just the right time, etc. The second thing I appreciate about Scott is that he follows through on his plan, consults when there are new decisions to be made, takes great care not to damage existing structures (like our underground sprinkler system) and brings talented, hard workers to do the job. We've hired Ground Cover before, so we were confident hiring them for this much larger job."

Small jobs welcome

"George is a pleasure to work with....dependable, pleasant, patient, and a great listener. He's fair, shows up, and does good work; what more could we ask for? George did both carpentry and tile installation for us. We picked a tough tile pattern for an oddly shaped/angled room, and he did a beautiful job. He has great attention to detail and helped us solve all sorts of quirky problems to make things look their best. He has been patient with supply delays, helpful with trouble shooting as we make decisions, and good at helping us think through things to make good choices through our renovation. We had searched for months for the tile we wanted and had finally purchased one we could tolerate. When George found out we didn't love it, the night before he was supposed to start laying it, he referred us to a tile source that had exactly what we wanted...and was so patient in the delay that caused. Gotta love that kind of integrity! He's the best tiler we've used and is making our new trim look lovely. He's our new "go to guy" for all things home. Hire him....just not at the same time I need him at my house. :) I'm putting George on speed dial."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Even if you think you know how to build a retaining wall theoretically, doing the actual work is a completely different story. There are lots of nuances in building retaining walls, and the slightest oversight can compromise their integrity. Therefore, we recommend you hire a pro to build, repair, or replace retaining walls.

DIY is possible for small projects. Professional installation ensures structural integrity and durability for larger walls.

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.

While vinyl is the least costly material for building a retaining wall, the most cost-effective method is to use wood or concrete blocks for a DIY retaining wall under 2 feet tall. Wood is inexpensive but lasts 20 years or more with care. Concrete can cost a little more but is stronger and will last longer with less maintenance.

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.
