"The estimate was reasonable, the installation was completed in a day and per schedule, and the crew did an excellent job of cleaning up after the install. I am quite happy with the job, with only a minor issue with a couple of pieces of pressure treated lumber that were warped or visibly chipped. All in all a great experience."

"Very thorough preparation--removal of prior driveway, substantial excavation to permit required base of crushed stone and sand, concrete footings around perimeter of driveway to stabilize edges of paver driveway. Very nice work setting pavers, setting trim pavers on edges, trimming pavers to fit where driveway wasn't square, and applying polymeric sand to seal joints."

"The only way to safely bring down this tree was to limb it down carefully while using a bucket truck in the driveway as the only means to get at the tree properly.  Additionally, care needed to be taken with removing the one trunk from directly over top the expensive light fixture on the lamp post, and in addition, avoiding damage to the garage dormer.
I had observed Ballard Enterprises in my neighborhood before and I knew they had the proper equipment and training to bring this tree down safely.
I was informed at the time of signing of the contract that the team was about two weeks out on their current schedule, weather depending. This was fine with me as I wasn't in any particular hurry as long as I got the tree down before winter storms. 
Roughly right at the two week mark, Tim called me the night before the work to let me know the crew was coming the next morning at 8:00 AM.  The crew showed up ahead of time in the morning the next day and promptly got to work.  The crew leader deftly manuevered the bucket truck around the trunks of the River Birch, quickly delimbing and guiding the limbs by rope to the ground by using a spin block attached to a high spot on a separate trunk.  The ground crew would gently lower the limbs down to the ground and piled them neatly in the driveway.  With only trunks of the tree left, the crew leader carefully removed sections of trunk, tying the sections off with rope. The ground crew waited until each section of the trunks were cut free and hanging clear before lowering them to the ground.  Once the tree was down, the crew used a claw machine to grasp all of the downed limbs and drag the limbs down the driveway to the road where the limbs were disposed of in the shredder attached to a truck.  The trunk sections were loaded onto a truck as well and all local debris was raked up and disposed of.  By the way, not one trunk, limb, or twig touched either the expensive light fixture on the lamp post, or the garage dormer.  To this I credit Tim's crew and the expert way they go about their business.  Having a crew with all the correct training and equipment is essential and Ballard Enterprises has that, and they are professional and safety conscious.  The stump grinding occurred about a week later, early on a Saturday morning one of Tim's crew showed up with a truck and the stump grinder in tow.  This person made quick work of the stump and was gone in probably about 30 to 45 minutes.
I can't say enough about the excellent Tree Service work that Ballard Enterprises performs, and I will definitely use them again.

"Miguel and his crew were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. They repaired crumbling exterior brick walls on our 1915 brick townhouse and did a great paint job. He was extremely responsive and worked with our timeline. They did an amazing job at an affordable price. I’ve worked with many contractors and they were by far the most efficient, dependable, and even left our space cleaner than it was before they started. They went above and beyond to address our concerns. Would definitely hire again in the future."

"Great Falls originally built a stone fireplace in my family room. I was so happy with the results that I had them do interior walls of entire man cave basement with carderock stone. Later they built a three-tiered stone patio with retaining walls. The quality of stone work is the best!"

"The whole project (installing a retaining wall) was seamlessly executed and I was completely satisfied. Because John K. took the time to carefully and patiently explain the various options and the details of how the project would unfold, I chose D&D (of course, the competitive price was also key). They took care of all the approvals with the HOA, began work on time as scheduled, and finished a day ahead of schedule,"

"They covered our entire 1/2 acre property which a few years back was the runner-up in the Baltimore Sun's best gardens review. Edged and cleared out all of our beds, spread 10 yards of mulch, and rebuilt a 70 yard long french drain. Our neighbors commented "It's looks like something you see in a magazine." We agree! Amazing team -- so polite, attention to detail, and hard working. Love these guys!"

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.

Depending on who you hire to build a retaining wall, the average cost, including demolition and reconstruction, for a 50-foot wall that's 4 feet in height is between $7,000 and $24,000.

Most railroad tie retaining walls have a life span of 20 to 30 years, though you may need to replace your wall sooner if it’s repeatedly exposed to heavy rain, runoff, and excess moisture. Railroad ties are typically treated with creosote, which makes them much more durable than untreated wood. Though they last longer, they don’t last forever. For the most longevity, make sure your retaining wall has a sturdy base and steel reinforcements. You should also install drainage to direct water away from the wall.

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.

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.
