"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."

"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!"

"They were professional. They listened to what I had envisioned, and than provided a cadded drawing with detailed accuracy. It was a much better drawing than three other estimates that I had received from other companies. The cost was in the ballpark with the other estimates. 
They started the project when they said they would, and did a wonderful job putting all the pieces together. The finished project is the perfect extension to my house and yard.

"Ed, with Arbor Hills, visited with us to discuss what our wishes were, developed a landscape that met those wishes and talked to us about our options with the trees we wanted.  The estimate was very affordable and we accepted his bid.  Ed was very easy to work with.  He was easy to contact and allowed us the opportunity to select the trees he was to plant.  Arbor Hills did an excellent job with the installation of the landscape, cleaned up after their job was done, and provided instructions on watering.  Any additional cost was fully explaned in the the email sent with the bill.  I will definately have Arbor Hills do any future landscaping!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you can use cinder blocks for many purposes, including retaining walls, foundations, garage walls, and fences. Building a cinder block retaining wall costs between $60 and $200 per linear foot, including materials and professional labor. For a 30-foot-long retaining wall, the cost ranges from $1,800 to $6,000.

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.

The lifespan of a retaining wall varies based on its material, installation quality, maintenance, and local climate, with an average range of 20 to 100 years. Retaining walls made from durable materials like concrete, stone, and brick generally last a minimum of 50 years. Concrete walls typically last between 50 and 100 years, while brick can last for over a century in ideal conditions. Timber retaining walls can last from 20 to 40 years, depending on the wood quality, and pressure-treated wood walls average around 30 years. It is important to note that a retaining wall can fail prematurely if it was poorly constructed, for example, with inefficient footings or without necessary rebar reinforcements.

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.
