"Virgil and his employees took over a project another vendor had completed and turned a negative experience into an exceptional project and experience for me. I wished I would have hired Virgil from the beginning. He was professional, trustworthy, reliable, and all I could have hoped for, as I was trying to manage the project from out of state. Virgil took this responsibility off of my plate and even secured the permits needed for the project, going over and above my expectations and exhibiting exceptional customer service. Virgil cleared land for my site, leveled ground, placed a mobile home, secured a mobile home, created drainage on the lot, and placed the home on the lot appropriately, to preserve the existing trees as much as possible. He also laid gravel for the driveway and completed all plumbing for the property. I give Virgil and his business my highest recommendation, as Virgil is trustworthy, dependable, and an all-around exceptional person to do business with. The value of the services he provided was exceptional in every way. Tom March 2023"

"We had Greenstone install a new granite flagstone patio with granite fire pit and sitting wall. The Green team did an amazing job from design and to the end product. Their crews were so great, professional and nice! We are so happy with their work and are excited to use our new outdoor space this summer!"

"They were very professional and pleasant. They exceeded my expectations. A tree had to be removed and some parts of my gutters had to be replaced. They are more than a water proofing and tree removal business. Hire them they offer multiple services. They would be the first ones that I would call if I needed any service."

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. 

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.

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.  

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.

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.
