"I recently purchased a commercial building, and the back lot had a massive pile of dirt/concrete/clay due to a billboard being installed over a year ago. The dirt pile was unmanageable with shovels, so we needed professional help. BJ was able to manage the humongous pile, by hauling about 75% away, and grading the lot with the rest. We're now left with a nice, level, space to regrow. He additionally cut an approach through the rear gate so that the fence would swing all the way open, and cut an approach for a garage door that will soon be installed on the side of the building. He's professional, fast, and easy to work with. Would absolutely recommend his services "

"Be sure to get detail of work and estimate in writing. She dropped off 5 high school kids to lay a 9x 20 area of sod. No prep work. She then ran to get 3 shrubs and 2 small hostas for my landscaping job. One round midget arborvitae had a Lowe?s tag left on it. Yes, that is all. See attached before and after. She was supposed to trim and clean under pine. She charged $87. To trim about 4 branches under my pine tree. Then $25 to spray weed killer under it. They were her less than an hour and a half. She was so nice and kind to me I trusted her. I paid her $1200. In cash. She said she would come back and balance the right side of my porch with the arborvitae?s. Then she wouldn?t answer my phone calls or respond to my text messages for 2 weeks. I finally sent message thru FB and she told me she did what we agreed upon and she wasn?t coming back to my home. Totally shocked that she was not going to come back and do what she told me she would do. "

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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. 

Rebar is a steel support that goes inside concrete to prevent structural damage over time. Concrete is susceptible to impact, weight, and tension. By inserting rebar into the concrete during the installation, you can help extend its lifespan and avoid hazardous situations where the foundation of your home gives way to tensile forces.

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.

Poured concrete is likely the cheapest way to build a retaining wall, as this material costs anywhere from $6 to $8 per square foot. The next best budget-friendly option is to use landscaping timbers. These timbers are great for DIY projects, as they don’t require tools to successfully build a retaining wall. Landscape timber costs around $10 to $14 per square foot. Depending on your chosen garden style, you can also go with natural stones or concrete blocks. Natural stones can be expensive if you buy them, but they’re a lot less costly if you can source them from your property. 

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