"This is my second review for The Illuminators since I have been adding lights as needed. The first time I was blown away, the second time they did not disappoint. My estimator was Alex who is very effective at giving suggestions and ideas regarding the best locations to install the lights. I am extremely pleased with the results and the exterior of our house looks so nice! We like to go on walks around the neighborhood and honestly we believe our lighting is the best! We just LOVE the work The Illuminators do. I think it's worth mentioning the installers names who are very efficient, friendly and very pleasant. Thank you Alex, Laddie, Jaden & Scott. I hope to see you again during the third phase of lights."

"Efrain responded quickly, showed up when he said he would, explained how he would fix the retaining wall (including adding drainage so no future problems arose) and was very communicative. He completed the job when he said he would and it looks wonderful. I would wholeheartedly recommend him based on my experience. Rarely do I find it enjoyable to work with someone on home repair, but he was excellent!"

"From initial consultation until completion of the project: Excellent! Our entire yard had slowly become overgrown; too much to weed, trim, water, etc. I needed to downsize, simplify, but still retain curb appeal. Dean was exceptionally easy to work with, listened well, offered suggestions, made a plan and that was it. He was always available by text or phone and answered every one of our questions and concerns. He and his crew were prompt, efficient and meticulous in their work. Our yard looks fabulous! Dean takes a lot of pride in his business and it shows. We highly recommend D & D Landscaping."

"We hired Brown Enterprise to fix a front walkway that was poorly executed by a previous contractor. They were professional and timely and the walkway looks amazing. We are beyond happy with their work and would hire them again for other projects. The difference from the before and after is tremendous!! Highly recommend."

"Juan and his team were Amazing! Juan returned my calls and texts quickly and answered all of my questions. His landscape design, construction of the retaining walls and suggestions turned out better than my husband and I could have ever imagined. Juan and his team were professional, talented, courteous, and extremely hard working. When we are ready to tackle our back yard, we will definitely be using Juan and his team."

Small jobs welcome

"Unique Landscaping is a perfect name for this â uniqueâ company. Every one of their team members were great! They were professional, and responsible, and worked really hard each day they were here! Fabianâ the company owner was just a great guy all around! They built a beautiful new patio for us, including a retaining wall for decorative and extra â seatingâ purposes. They worked with us on all the design details, even if we requested more time or additional sample materials. Unique also redid our front and side stoops. There were a couple of small â glitchesâ along the wayâ ¦ not surprising with any major projectâ ¦ but when we pointed them out, Fabian was really great in making sure things were done appropriately to address any concerns. We highly recommend working with Unique, and recommend booking early since their great work and reputation mean their schedule fills up fast!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Installation typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the wall’s size and site conditions.

Depending on who you hire to build a retaining wall, the average cost, including demolition and reconstruction, for a 50-foot wall that's 4 feet in height is between $7,000 and $24,000.

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.

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.  

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.
