"Austin and Rein Landscaping LLC took over from another "landscaping" company I previously had. Rein was a great improvement over the other outfit. His is a young company, yet they are knowledgeable, professional, and attentive. Austin has been a good listener and has carefully followed the few concerns I had regarding my Hostas and the poison ivy growing along our fence (He eradicated the poison ivy without killing nearby vegetation.). Rein is conscientious and efficient. I highly recommend this couteous young man and his top-notch company."

Kyle arrived with a mini excavator with a post hole digger/auger attachment on the date/time we agreed to. A real pleasure to work with as holes were dug on a very hot Sat. afternoon. He showed up, was very professional and flawlessly completed the job. Would definitely recommend and hire this contractor again. "

Pierce Lawn Care are is a business I created because it is a passion that I love doing. Making each yard look beautiful at a time. I founded this business in 2018 but have been working on lawns since I could use a push mower. I've worked at many trades and have gained much valuable knowledge throughout the years, so I am pretty versatile in a lot of different areas. Lawn Care has been a passion to find since I was a kid and always wanted to have a business of my own. It is a family-based business that take pride in in the work we do. We love getting down and dirty to get the job done and done right. I'm looking at growing this business and be a part of the community that I'm in.

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.

Most railroad tie retaining walls have a life span of 20 to 30 years, though you may need to replace your wall sooner if it’s repeatedly exposed to heavy rain, runoff, and excess moisture. Railroad ties are typically treated with creosote, which makes them much more durable than untreated wood. Though they last longer, they don’t last forever. For the most longevity, make sure your retaining wall has a sturdy base and steel reinforcements. You should also install drainage to direct water away from the wall.

The longevity of flood walls depends on how they were constructed, but most wood, gravel, and cement flood walls last 10 years. While aluminum flood walls may cost far more initially, they can be a good investment as they can last decades and will not be damaged by exposure to the elements.

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.

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.
