"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. "

"So I originally had an appointment for March of 2026 because of weather and they are booked. I understand now why. Monday morning I received a call from Forman Carter S and he said looks like he can get me done before winter. I was pleased and excited to get my porch fixed. So he came out the next day he had available. That morning he called me let me know he was on the way and made sure the timing would work because I had an appointment to go to. Since he called me that Monday communication was perfect had no issue getting a hold of him. They showed up we went over what he is going to do and how it was. He also took steps make sure that the lifting foam was going mess up my basement so he ensured that the foam would stay outside. He treated my house like his own. Before I left my 30 min appointment he texted me saying they were wrapping it up. It looked amazing. I want to thank Carter and Riley for their great work. They clean my porch and picked up everything before leaving."

NATURE STONE is the largest stone and epoxy flooring company in the United States. Founded in 1989, NATURE STONE engineered a specially formulated, patent-pending, propriety epoxy resin made especially for use in stone and epoxy flooring. This special epoxy is what gives NATURE STONE flooring its beauty, durability and long-lasting qualities. No other stone and epoxy flooring company can compare in quality to authentic Nature Stone flooring.

"Signed a contract back on April 2, 2025. They were supposed to be out on Wednesday, May 21. They called me two hours before they were supposed to be here to cancel because of the chance of rain. We had zero rain here from 7:45 AM all the way to 3:30 PM. I wasted a vacation day as well. Contacted my salesman. He tells me he will get back to me. Here we are two days later and still no idea when the appointment is supposed to happen. Communication is poor at best. Amazing that a company that's been in business this long plays games like this."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Through proper drainage solutions and compacting the foundation soil.

If you don’t backfill a retaining wall—either at all or adequately enough—the wall won’t drain well, and water will be able to pass through it. Poor drainage will lead to a warped wall or a buildup of hydrostatic pressure, which can eventually collapse your retaining wall. If you have particularly sloped land, consult a structural engineer to ensure your hardscaping is adding value to your home.

Yes, including patterns, finishes, and plant integration for aesthetic enhancement.

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. 

A retaining wall can only function as a fence if it’s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn’t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall.
