"Alan and his crew did everything that I asked in a professional manner. I watched videos from YouTube that showed how professionals built retaining walls and installed patios and Limitless Landscape used the exact same techniques, performing the work carefully to assure high quality. However, I would advise anyone that has retaining wall work done using Highland blocks, or any blocks that are squared in the corners rather than rounded, to have the wall ends squared rather than rounded because of the way the blocks are shaped. Also, we had Unlimited install a wooden Pergola. They did an excellent job constructing it and it looks fantastic. At the end of the job, Alan and his crew erectedthe fencing that had been removed and replaced the damaged turf promptly. Alan is very conscientious and cares about pleasing the customer."

"We couldn't be happier with our work. It was a very fair price and the work was amazing. Our old retaining wall was rotting and now we have a beautiful stone retaining wall. We will definitely be using them again in the future for any projects."

"Ran into difficulties not caused by the contractor.  This left the project unfinished for sometime and then it was hard to get them back to finish the project.  However, the quality of the finished project was completed as was agreed and specified.

"Derek showed up at the appointed time and date to discuss our landscaping needs.  We informed him of our budget and told him he had free reign to suggest  some interesting ideas...we were mainly interested in having something that would make our yard stand apart from other houses in the neighborhood.  As promised, within 2 weeks of his initial consultation, we received via email a .PDF of the design plan, including the names of the proposed flowers and shrubs.  We were provided with a web address of where we could see pictures of the plants, as many were unfamiliar to us.  In our excitement over the plan, we decided to add some additional items...landscape lighting to the front and some landscaping around a maple tree and bird bath in our backyard.  We asked that the old retaining wall stones be re-purposed for the backyard to save on costs.  Derek readily replied yes to our changes and submitted a revised bid.  We approved the final plans and set a date to begin work. There was a few days rain delay, but of course that was not their fault. The crew that dismantled the old retaining wall were careful with the stones and constructed a nice border around our tree and birdbath.  They completed this project with some hostas around the tree and some some day lilies between the tree and birdbath.  It was finished with some cocoa brown mulch.  The leftover stones  were neatly stacked against our fence by the back gate.  The front yard plants, accent boulders, new retaining wall and lighting ended up to be beautiful!  The crew that arrived each day were courteous, professional and cleaned up the driveway and steps at the end of each day.  The person in charge of the plantings shared tips on how to care for the plants.  There were 3 smaller plants that did not hold up well in transfer from the nursery, due to the heat.  They watered and fertilized everything and told us to watch them.  If they did not perk up, they would be replaced.  We are so pleased with the results and spend all of our free time on the front porch enjoying the new yard!  We highly recommend Penton and would certainly contract with them again!

"We couldn't be happier with the retaining wall that was built for us! From start to finish, the entire experience was outstanding. They worked incredibly hard every single day, completed the project much faster than we expected, and the quality of their work is excellent. Their pricing was very affordable, especially considering the level of craftsmanship and attention to detail they put into the job. On top of that, they were some of the kindest, most respectful, and easiest people to work with. They communicated well, answered all of our questions, and truly cared about making sure we were happy with the final result. If you're looking for a landscaping company that is hardworking, honest, reasonably priced, and delivers beautiful work, we highly recommend them. We are beyond pleased with our new retaining wall and would absolutely hire them again for future projects!"

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.

Options include concrete, stone, brick, and wood, tailored for specific design needs.

Through proper drainage solutions and compacting the foundation soil.

Most retaining wall installations can be finished in one to three weeks, but the timeline varies based on factors like wall size and material. The local climate and major weather events, such as storms or flooding, can also extend the project's timeline, as can any holds ups in the permitting process.

Yes, to build a retaining wall, a permit is required. Similarly, any repairs or modifications to an existing retaining wall require permits.
