"I need urgent leaf removal before the snow started falling and called past 4pm on Wednesday and he showed up to get rid of my leaves by 9am on Thursday! I was worried about cost so when we reached the time cap, he left extra bags so I could finish the bit at the end and stay within my budget. Thanks so much for being available so fast and saving me so much trouble!"

"Eder and his team did a great job! We are very pleased with the final results. They extended our patio, poured a shed pad, created a walkway from the driveway through our back gate all the way down the side of our house and connected it to the new patio and shed pad. The work was quick and professional. Always communicated when they would be here and his quote was spot on. I highly recommend their work. Best quality for the price you will find in the area!"

"I would highly recommend this company. I found them to be timely, professional, hard working and very friendly. I even noticed the brush pile I had in my back yard was hauled away. I didn't even ask for this to be done. I really appreciated the initiative this company had. Thank you Ty for doing such a great job. I'll be calling you when the leaves and snow start falling!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Generally speaking, a retaining wall should be between 3 and 4 feet high, depending on variables such as the wall-building material, the purpose of the retaining wall, and more. If you want your retaining wall to be taller than 4 feet, check with your local building ordinance office for the maximum allotment. You may also need a special permit for retaining walls over 4 feet tall.

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.

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.  

Each design is different, so we can’t say definitively if you’ll need a dedicated drainage system in place for a two-foot retaining wall. However, you can likely skip the drainage, as this project is typically served for walls that are 4 feet tall or more. Even with a relatively low wall, consider drainage if you are building on top of clay or poor-draining soil types or if there are buried water sources nearby, like a well used for other outdoor garden projects.

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.
