"We were looking for someone to put in a paver patio and pergola in our backyard at our new home. We met with many landscapers, but Eric and Cornerstone were the only ones to make us feel like they wanted our business and we were their only client. From design to completion, Eric and his team were friendly, helpful, professional, and gave us exactly what we wanted. Their work is high quality and their prices were competitive and fair. Even after the projects completion, Eric and his team came back to button up a few things after a bad storm to ensure that we were happy. If you're looking for a landscaper to treat your home as their own, hire Cornerstone."

"ARC added two bedrooms to my home, I started out with a different contractor who started the job but was very unreliable and had poor workmanship not meeting any timelines. ARC came in and saved the day. I should have started out with them since I had success when they fixed my home after it was damaged during the August, 2016 Baton Rouge flood. They were reliable and did a great job with the two new bedrooms and laying of brick for my outside patios."

"The provider is very responsive and keep the site clean and well organized. They gave me a quote about 10% less than similar service provided by Lowes (which has spoiled contractors you have to wait 5-6 weeks to arrive).

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Generally, a railroad tie retaining wall consisting of a single line of ties should be between 3 and 4 feet tall—and the height often tops out at around 6 feet. You can go taller, but you may need additional footings and reinforcements, including a second layer of railroad ties to support the added weight of the soil it’s holding back.

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.

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.

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

Rebar is a steel support that goes inside concrete to prevent structural damage over time. Concrete is susceptible to impact, weight, and tension. By inserting rebar into the concrete during the installation, you can help extend its lifespan and avoid hazardous situations where the foundation of your home gives way to tensile forces.
