"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

If you've decided you'd like to skip the cost of restoring a brick exterior wall after considering whether you should repair or replace brick on your house, you can consider installing fiber cement siding over brick for a cost of $2 to $6 per square foot. When done properly, cement siding over brick offers a durable, low-maintenance option that can actually reduce your home's energy costs. It's also attractive. However, improper installation or installation over heavily compromised brick can cause water damage. 

To maintain the integrity of your landscape, a retaining wall must be installed if the slope of the angle exceeds 35 degrees. The lean of the wall must be 1 inch per 12 inches in height to disperse the weight of the soil uniformly and guarantee the correct drainage of the soil.

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.

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.

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.
