"Beau Jardin Landscaping came to my home for the initial consultation (which was no charge), and I walked them through what I had in mind for the front yard and side of the house. They took pictures of the flower beds while they were there and within a couple of days I had an emailed estimate with computer generated pictures of their vision of what the flower bed would look like with the addition of plants and flowers- I was very impressed with this! I had originally considered just clearing and mulching the flower bed, but was able to see what the finished product would like and decided to have the entire bed redone with plants as well.  
They are very good about responding to questions and text messages and I knew when to expect them- and they worked around my difficult work schedule.
I am very pleased with their work! They have come back since the planting to check on the mulch and spray the beds for weeds. What I liked best is that they selected plants and flowers based on what they thought I would like after talking with me and seeing what I had in mind and they did a great job of this! I would definitely use this service again in the future.

"A difficult experience. Work was fence repair and clean gutters. 3 men came, one was the driver who insisted on waiting inside my home. There he sat for the duration. My partner was away on business, so I was a woman alone (target?) The talker actively negotiated a price. I stood fairly firm, but now think I paid too much. I was told to write the check to cash. No receipt. The "owner" called a few times to check on things. Said the van had broken down, hence the driver. The work was ok, one of the workers got stung by wasps, I supplied a topical medicine. The talker needed: a drill (I didn't have one, they came up with one), an extension cord, screws (I brought out my toolbox), etc. Talker engaged me many times outside while the driver sat in my living room (a complete stranger to me). Talker was a fast talker and said things like "want me to go buy some wasp spray for you?" (I was out). I knew there would be an up-price, and was starting to feel hustled. When it was time to write the check, I went to the back. At that very moment the driver asked to use the facilities. I showed him where, and left him alone to engage with the talker. They basically had me running back and forth. The work on the fence was OK, some of it shoddy. for example, the screws were haphazardly placed, most sticking out (not flat with the wood). Some broken pickets were overlooked. Some pickets were split from their work. The gate repair was good (they used my own spare wood). I would not engage them again for the above reasons."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Each design is different, so we can’t say definitively if you’ll need a dedicated drainage system in place for a two-foot retaining wall. However, you can likely skip the drainage, as this project is typically served for walls that are 4 feet tall or more. Even with a relatively low wall, consider drainage if you are building on top of clay or poor-draining soil types or if there are buried water sources nearby, like a well used for other outdoor garden projects.

DIY is possible for small projects. Professional installation ensures structural integrity and durability for larger walls.

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.

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.  

To maintain the integrity of your landscape, a retaining wall must be installed if the slope of the angle exceeds 35 degrees. The lean of the wall must be 1 inch per 12 inches in height to disperse the weight of the soil uniformly and guarantee the correct drainage of the soil.
