"The sprinkler system was installed and functions correctly.  However, during the installation process there were white plastic pvc pipes placed 18-24" above the ground directly in front of our picture window and house.  They were placed without asking and made the front of our house look terrible.  We did say something before our HOA stepped in and it was corrected and moved to the side of the house out of street sight.  Our quote also included the removal of a small bush and some surrounding stumps/roots.  It was not completed with the initial work and it took several reminders before they completed the work the following spring, when they de-winterized our sprinklers.  Our sod area was small but it took several requests to level the area before the sod, which was what we had been quoted.  Overall, we eventually got everything done but will not be using this company in the future, including the twice yearly maintenance of the sprinkler system.

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, including patterns, finishes, and plant integration for aesthetic enhancement.

If you don’t backfill a retaining wall—either at all or adequately enough—the wall won’t drain well, and water will be able to pass through it. Poor drainage will lead to a warped wall or a buildup of hydrostatic pressure, which can eventually collapse your retaining wall. If you have particularly sloped land, consult a structural engineer to ensure your hardscaping is adding value to your home.

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.

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.
