"Luke and Trent are exemplary and knowledgeable professionals. Their quote was very reasonable. They showed up at the exact time and day the promised. These men are courteous and very professional. They had a few obstacles to maneuver around, as they were digging out the hole for the egress window. They did it with great skill and precision. My wife and I are grateful we found this company to do our work. 5 STARS +++"

"Like some of the other people have stated.. they are pricey and they are also extremely busy. We worked with Andy as the sales rep and he was a great guy. We told him what we were willing to spend at most and he made sure we got everything we wanted for that price. I think people who are new to construction work might see these guys as a hassle but in all honesty.. the men they had working for us were some of the hardest working and fastest working men I’ve ever met. Everything was done in a week and a half.. and it is STUNNING! My only complaint is that we were supposed to get it started 8 weeks after signing and it didn’t start til about 12 weeks.. like I said though.. it’s a very busy time of the year. COVID-19 has everyone at home with their honey-do list and EVERYWHERE is booked. I would absolutely recommend Cronkhite.. always negotiate on price.. and make sure to check the work being done. Don’t watch them do something wrong and complain about it after.. If you have questions then ask them!"

Tripp Landscaping has strived to provide top-notch landscaping service to the Springfield area. Its success is reflected in the many satisfied clients the business has seen over the years. Like most businesses, Tripp Landscaping had humble beginnings. It started as a small operation owner/founder Mark Tripp began at his Springfield home in 1978. He had only a handfull of employees. It wasn't long before the business grew too big for Mark's home, so he set up shop at his first retail location on 6th Street, Springfield. As the company grew and evolved, Mark decided in 1992 to move the business to its current location on Woodside Rd., in Springfield. Tripp Landscaping currently includes a nursery stocked with high-quality trees, shrubs, and perennials, in addition to an office where design creation and presentation take place.

"I had a disappointing experience with Sprinklawn for their lawn irrigation services. Here's what happened: The crew arrived late for the first appointment, which was supposed to be done in 30 minutes to an hour. They couldn’t force air out of two zones because they didn’t have the right tools or enough time. The technician said someone would have to come back later to fix it. On the second visit, the team tried again, but still couldn’t find the valves. Instead, they hooked the pressure to a sprinkler head, which isn’t the right way to do it. This crew came 20 minutes early and spent less than 20 minutes on the job. They said they were too busy and would need to finish it in the spring. After they left, I noticed a sprinkler head in my yard was broken. I had replaced that head less than two years ago, so I think it broke during their work. When I told the technicians my concerns, they just said they didn’t have enough time. When I called customer service, they gave me the owner’s number. The owner, Gary, was very matter-of-fact and said the way they handled it was the only option because my system is old. My main concerns are: Sprinklawn doesn’t seem to fix problems correctly the first time. Their process seems to add extra stress to my irrigation system, causing more issues later. Customer service is poor. They didn’t even offer a credit for the sprinkler head they broke. I won’t use Sprinklawn again because of the poor service and lack of care. I gave two stars because they have been good at repairs in the past when they had enough time and the right tools. But this experience was very frustrating."

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.

Railroad ties can be good for retaining walls, but it depends on the area. They have a desirable rustic look and are durable. The problem is they’re treated with creosote, a preservative the EPA says poses a risk to humans and wildlife. Over time, the preservative seeps out of the wood and into the ground. Many areas have banned the use of creosote-treated wood on residential properties. If your area does allow it, never use railroad ties near an edible garden or drinking water source. Instead, use wood that’s treated with an EPA-approved preservative or a wood-alternative composite material.

Costs depend on material type, labor rates, and additional features like decorative finishes or reinforcement.

Options include concrete, stone, brick, and wood, tailored for specific design needs.

With foundation walls, the slab on grade and force at the top of the wall is resisted by flooring. With retaining walls, the force at the top of the wall is not resisted.
