"I am completing a review that I did not get completed. Creamer construction worked on removing rock and put in clean dirt. The first day I told the workers what I had wanted and 3 of the 4 got to work. The were able to complete removing the lava rock and add the dirt. The rock was harder to remove and in places was deeper. It was hot and thus they tried to cut corners and not remove all the rock. As they got ready to leave I explained that there was still rock under the dirt. So they came back the next day to complete the job as expected. Nick, Kevin and Mark came back and was able to remove the rocks and replaced the dirt with new dirt. I was very pleased with the completed job. If you use creamer construction be sure to ask for Nick, Kevin and Mark to complete your job! They did a great job and I was especially pleased with the way Nick handled the job and was sure to get the job correct! Thanks creamer construction!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

To maintain the integrity of your landscape, a retaining wall must be installed if the slope of the angle exceeds 35 degrees. The lean of the wall must be 1 inch per 12 inches in height to disperse the weight of the soil uniformly and guarantee the correct drainage of the soil.

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.  

DIY is possible for small projects. Professional installation ensures structural integrity and durability for larger walls.

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.
