"In order to install, they had to demo the old windows and re-create the openings to fit the new windows, as well as replace some siding. They did an excellent job, at a reasonable price for the amount of work it entailed."

My husband and I cannot say enough about how happy we are with the service and outcome of our yard.  We pride ourselves on doing things ourselves; however, when the owners of Fresh Cut showed us photos of their own backyard, we really started getting interested in hearing about what their ideas would be for our backyard.  They invited us to see their backyard in person so that we could compare size and proportions of yards and we absolutely fell in love with their yard.  We were originally only planning on doing landscaping around our pool but when we saw how, when looking at their yard, your eyes take you from the house to the complete back portion of their yard, we knew we wanted to do something very similar with our yard.  Upon walking out of their back door, their beautiful pergola, pavers and landscaping around them lead you to an eye-catching fire-pit and outdoor oasis. We already had a pool but they helped us map out a similar plan for the flow of our backyard.  The truly amazing part is how their work actually made our yard look so much bigger than it already was.  We started with just a pool and ended with a total transformation.  We get constant compliments on our yard and know that the investment will not only give us years of happiness, but it will also greatly increase our property value.  We are in the process of adding a separate paver area with fire-pit, landscaping, and outdoor furniture to increase our seating and to be able to fully enjoy our yard even during the cold months. Major or minor, I would definitely recommend Fresh Cut to anyone looking to beautify their yard.

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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

There are contractors specifically trained in the design and construction of retaining walls. Retaining wall contractors are skilled at dealing with the soil on your property and assessing what kind of drainage should be installed. They will recommend the best materials to use for the project and can handle the processing of permits by local authorities.

Poured concrete is often the cheapest material for a retaining wall, costing around $6 to $8 per square foot. Other budget-friendly options include vinyl and landscaping timbers, which range from $10 to $15 per square foot; landscaping timbers are particularly well-suited for DIY projects. Untreated timber and railroad ties are a step up in price, starting at $15 to $25 per square foot. Natural stones can also be a cost-effective choice if you can source them from your own property, but they can be expensive to purchase. High-end materials like steel are typically the most expensive but offer superior durability and aesthetics.

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.

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.
