"Mario and his team were excellent. When they arrived they started to work immediately removing the old bushes, trimming existing plants, clearing the beds, adding new plants/bushes , mulch and planting grass seeds. They even fixed a part of my brick wall that was missing some stones. They did a great job!"

"We used Chris Pope and his crew to do a yard clean up as a Chistmas gift for our family in Cincinnati. He came in and trimmed, pruned, weeded, raked, spread bark and hauled away debris. Our son-in-law said it was the best Christmas gift ever! The yard was transformed. Chris was thorough, effecient, and reasonably priced. We are very pleased with Chris Pope's service and would certainly use him again."

"They built a well established retaining wall with flagstone rock. Definitely the best work I have seen hands down when it comes to hardscapes. Highly Recommend!!"

"Professional, on time and reasonable cost. Workers were polite and helpful. Great communication explaining what would be done. Listened to what we wanted and made suggestions. Very personable company. They cleaned up all the old ground cover and plants. Replaced a retaining wall and put in river rock. They created a beautiful walkway down the hill, also. Excellent job!"

"In the last 20 years there are just 2 or 3 contractors I'd have come back and do more work for me and Rob is one of them. Our home is a new construction and we were supposed to have a pool installed in August 2018. Rob came out and walked through the project with us in July. One delay after the next, more rainy days than we can count and next thing we find ourselves in March with the pool finally getting wrapped up!! Rob hung with us the whole time. When we were finally ready, he was ready! He had good ideas on several aspects of the back yard and we love the outcome! The quality of workmanship is excellent. The crew cleaned up after themselves every day and Rob communicated next steps with us frequently so we were not left wondering. We modified the plan several times and Rob updated the quote for us along the way. There were no surprises. He addressed questions and came out for a final walk through before I left on vacation. The pictures speak for themselves (before and after). I would highly recommend Rob to anyone looking for a quality outdoor space! (Note that the concrete around the pool was done by another company)."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Small retaining walls still require a foundation of some kind, typically a concrete footing. This helps to ensure the wall is structurally sound and prevents the ground from shifting over time, especially during those winter freeze/thaw cycles. The footing helps spread the weight of the wall and the load it carries over a larger area of the ground, thus assisting with stability. This is true of small retaining walls, larger rock garden walls, and the like. 

Costs range from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on size, material, and design complexity.

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

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.

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.
