"Re-graded asphalt drive next to garage to prevent water entering garage during storms. Difficult job that required forming a slight swale. Flawless! Weâ ve had huge storms and no water in garage. Professional crew, totally focused on the job. Would definitely hire again."

"From initial inquiry to job estimate and finally job construction/completion all personnel at Maryland Excavating communicated well, were on time, polite, courteous knowledgeable, professional and highly skilled. The construction team laid out, formed up and poured me a custom concrete walkway that I had only envisioned in my mind. Their team skills made my vision and concept walkway a reality in short time. The finished job is EXACTLY what I wanted. They are a great team. I recommend their services and I would hire them again."

"The job went well. There were some issues with the supplier. They sent the wrong pavers and we had to reorder. That was beyond VRN's control. Once everything arrived the job went smoothly and quickly."

"I honestly cannot say enough good things about Hard Worx Concrete. They installed an outdoor basketball court for us, and they did an absolutely beatiful job. Everyone who has seen it wants to put one up in their own yard now! What really stands out about Hard Worx is their experience and their willingness to go the extra mile. We needed metal work removed before we could install the court and they did that. We needed help installing the actual pole and hoop and they did that for us as well. Roger even identified a missing part right away and made an extra trip to install it after it arrived. The job was essentially done, but he went out of his way to make sure our court was fully functional. Roger was so knowledgeable about every aspect of the job. He made special bevel cuts to enhance our playing experience and gave us multiple options for pigment and hoop placement. Hard Worx Concrete are professional, kind, and experts in their field. We hope to use them again for future projects!"

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, answered by experts

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

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.

Railroad ties can be good for retaining walls, but it depends on the area. They have a desirable rustic look and are durable. The problem is they’re treated with creosote, a preservative the EPA says poses a risk to humans and wildlife. Over time, the preservative seeps out of the wood and into the ground. Many areas have banned the use of creosote-treated wood on residential properties. If your area does allow it, never use railroad ties near an edible garden or drinking water source. Instead, use wood that’s treated with an EPA-approved preservative or a wood-alternative composite material.

Most retaining wall installations can be finished in one to three weeks, but the timeline varies based on factors like wall size and material. The local climate and major weather events, such as storms or flooding, can also extend the project's timeline, as can any holds ups in the permitting process.

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