"Abled Vets Construction made then entire process simple and stress-free. They were here when they told us they would be. They were finished before the deadline given and the entire area was cleaner than when they started. The work was top-notch. The company is respectful and understanding of individual needs and wishes in regards to their homes. I was highly impressed with the entire process! We would definitely recommend them for handling your construction needs!"

"First of all, Thomas and his crew are the hardest working guys I have ever seen, each worker knew what had to be done and did it, there eye for detail was amazing, they went way beyond what was needed to make sure my patio was going to be perfect and it is, I very pleased with everything and their bid was lower than all others by 600.00 to 800.00, they even cleaned up in the street where their trucks had been parked, yes I would hire Larkins Brothers for any project I needed done in a second, no need to have a bunch of contractors that might show up and might not show, anything I need will only take one call, Larkins Brothers."

"Awesome job, showed up when he said he would, charged a fair price.  Finished the job quickly, safely and cleaned up the area when finished..  It was a difficult tree to remove, next to the road with a lot of traffic going by during the removal.  It was a very tall, old and thick tree.  He and his guys were great.  We will hire again if needed.

"Chad and his crew are fair, friendly and talented. CML installed a 40 yard shared driveway with sidewalks and patio for my neighbor and I. They work incredibly efficiently and pay attention to the fine details that make concrete look so great. I would highly recommend for any concrete project!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Regular inspection for issues like cracks or leaning and ensuring drainage stays clear.

Generally speaking, a retaining wall should be between 3 and 4 feet high, depending on variables such as the wall-building material, the purpose of the retaining wall, and more. If you want your retaining wall to be taller than 4 feet, check with your local building ordinance office for the maximum allotment. You may also need a special permit for retaining walls over 4 feet tall.
