"Curt and his team did a wonderful job in installing a new patio at my home. They were respectful and thorough in discussing the project with me. Curt gave an artistic touch to the patio design which I love. Would highly recommend them!"

"Austin was prompt in my response for a quote, and was able to start the job earlier than he first estimated, keeping in good touch by email thoughout the process. His team initially did some minor repair work leveling sections of the pavers, and then moved on to powerwashing out all the old built up dirt and moss from our pavers and surrounding landscaping blocks - including blocks in areas of the yard I did not think they were going to do. I was out of town for the work, and when I returned the transformation was amazing to see. Payment not required until the work was completed."

"Design One did a great job on our total backyard remodeling project. They tore out our old patio, walkway and landscaping. Then installed a raised paver brick terrace, walls, walkway, stone wall and did all the landscaping and grass to finish the job. We are getting many complements from family, neighbors and visitors. They were on time and were willing to come back to adjust and fit the tile to the beams for the pergola installation."

"Tarek was great to work with, he listened to what I wanted done and didn't try to oversell. He does, and is capable and creative. He got to the project very quickly (which means I have use of a previously "dead" area while the weather is nice). Logistics were impressive, because they needed to bring in heavy machinery,, yet they got everything completed in a day -the choreography was flawless. The crew was amazing - they knew what they were doing, they were meticulous about every detail, and worked REALLY hard. There was virtually no cleanup for me to do (except spread a little mulch around the patio area). They are artists in their work, and the project was worth every (reasonably priced) penny. Two thumbs up!"

"Get written estimate first. (Did not due) Customer satifaction is not there top priority. (Poor) I had some work completed and looked at the results after the fact the next day and noticed somethings were poorly done or not done as agreed apon. Instead of the company answering my calls, texts & emails they left me hanging with poor results and no communication (Stone walled), maybe because they allready recieved payment. So unproffesional of them and now I had to hire someone else to fix the area's."

"Drew and his team did an exceptional job making our landscaping dreams come to life. Drew was incredibly responsive and easy to work with. He kept us updated and did a great job of checking in during the process when little changes were possible/necessary. We are a new construction home in an established neighborhood, so we wanted a certain look. He installed rain gardens, a bio swale, a blue stone paver patio, concrete pads, arbor vitae, two retaining walls, a sprinkler system, and planter boxes, as well as planting many flowers, bushes, shrubs, etc., We are so happy and would 10/10 reccomend!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Proper design and construction prevent erosion and add structural stability to landscapes.

The lifespan of a retaining wall varies based on its material, installation quality, maintenance, and local climate, with an average range of 20 to 100 years. Retaining walls made from durable materials like concrete, stone, and brick generally last a minimum of 50 years. Concrete walls typically last between 50 and 100 years, while brick can last for over a century in ideal conditions. Timber retaining walls can last from 20 to 40 years, depending on the wood quality, and pressure-treated wood walls average around 30 years. It is important to note that a retaining wall can fail prematurely if it was poorly constructed, for example, with inefficient footings or without necessary rebar reinforcements.

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.

Each design is different, so we can’t say definitively if you’ll need a dedicated drainage system in place for a two-foot retaining wall. However, you can likely skip the drainage, as this project is typically served for walls that are 4 feet tall or more. Even with a relatively low wall, consider drainage if you are building on top of clay or poor-draining soil types or if there are buried water sources nearby, like a well used for other outdoor garden projects.

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.
