"K & M property management did a great job on my garden. I hired them to remove poison ivy and trim shrubs on my overgrown garden. The crew was professional, and very courteous. I definitely will hire them again in the future."

"We haven't always had the best luck with landscapers, but that changed with New-View. Very polite and knowledgeable team. Made sure to attend to every request and supplemented our requests with some creative imagination (we wanted perennial flowers and they chose some excellent ones). They were able to deliver their results within a day. For future landscaping work or maintenance, we will absolutely hire New-View again. Best landscapers we have ever worked with."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

While vinyl is the least costly material for building a retaining wall, the most cost-effective method is to use wood or concrete blocks for a DIY retaining wall under 2 feet tall. Wood is inexpensive but lasts 20 years or more with care. Concrete can cost a little more but is stronger and will last longer with less maintenance.

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. 

Regular inspection for issues like cracks or leaning and ensuring drainage stays clear.

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.  

Proper design and construction prevent erosion and add structural stability to landscapes.
