Customers say: True professional

"Boni Ramirez was timely on visiting and providing a price quote. The project start was delayed a few day, which we expected as it was a small hardscape project. Much more timely than any other lower Delaware hardscape contractor we contacted in the past. We would use this firm again."

"Ivan and his crew were great! We had them clear out alot of our overgrown backyard and take down several medium and large trees. They were easy to communicate with, had very affordable pricing, and provided excellent, professional service. We will likely use them in the future and highly recommend them to others."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Yes, to build a retaining wall, a permit is required. Similarly, any repairs or modifications to an existing retaining wall require permits. If the planned wall measures higher than 4 feet, most municipalities require designs and permits come through a licensed engineer. In some locations, if the wall is shorter than 4 feet, a permit may not be required. For the requirements in your area, contact your local government.

They prevent soil erosion, add flat space, and enhance property aesthetics.

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. 

If you don’t backfill a retaining wall—either at all or adequately enough—the wall won’t drain well, and water will be able to pass through it. Poor drainage will lead to a warped wall or a buildup of hydrostatic pressure, which can eventually collapse your retaining wall. If you have particularly sloped land, consult a structural engineer to ensure your hardscaping is adding value to your home.

Costs depend on material type, labor rates, and additional features like decorative finishes or reinforcement.
