Prestige Landscape and Design is dedicated to providing outstanding landscape projects for our customers, utilizing innovative design and quality installation. We are focused entirely on landscape design and construction, offering over forty years of experience in all aspects of the landscape field including paver patios, retaining walls, water features, gardens, new landscapes and landscape rehabilitation. Our mission is to maximize and enhance the use, living space and value of our customer's property. Real estate appraisers know that a pleasing landscape can increase property values significantly. "Curb appeal" is considered to be one of the most important factors in selling a home.

"When we purchased our rental, the prior owners had taken out all of the foundation plantings and landscaping, leaving only a sunken front walk, gravel around the perimeter, and two trees in the front yard. Unfortunately, when replacing the sewer line, an incompetent plumber killed our beautiful old maple and the crabapple started to die, too. Moreover, during the purchase inspection, we'd been advised to lower the level of dirt around the foundation, and we had learned that the shape of the terrain was contributing to water in the basement during heavy rains. The front lawn was a weedy, lumpy mess with a pile of wood chips from the dead maple. Enter Prestige Landscape & Design, who I found through Angi.com. I discussed our issues with Ben, who visited the property to assess what needed to be done and followed up with a plan/layout along with pictures of the hardscape materials to be used. All in all, he removed the gravel and dirt around the foundation, sealed the foundation, installed new window wells, installed a drainage system, re-contoured the land, buried the gutter downspouts and sump pump outlet while integrating them into the drainage system, reseeded the lawn, replaced the front walk and door step, and planted a beautiful assortment of perennials, shrubs, and trees. Oh, and he hauled away all the mess that was there before. Doesn't it make you tired just reading all this? Well, according to my tenant, Ben and his small team were tireless at their efforts. Ben was hardworking and considerate, and even the neighbors got to know and like him over the three weeks that he did the work. And the final result was beautiful and impeccable. I feel so fortunate to have found Ben and Prestige Landscape and Design, and if I need future work done, I know who to call!"

"Removal was efficient even though there was a lot more concrete below ground than expected. Made a trip to the hardware store for extra sand to fill in the hole and even hooked me up with a new hoop!"

"I had brush and several trees to remove on a Jackson, MI property owned by my brother in law to prep it for sale. I contacted Lake State Landscaping and they set up a date/time to meet and go over the property site to determine what I wanted done. These guys are good…they scheduled a date/time and cost to have this project done. They got it done when they said it would be done, done professionally and hauled off the debris. They also gave me a military/Veteran discount. I would hire them again without question!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, to build a retaining wall, a permit is required. Similarly, any repairs or modifications to an existing retaining wall require permits. If the planned wall measures higher than 4 feet, most municipalities require designs and permits come through a licensed engineer. In some locations, if the wall is shorter than 4 feet, a permit may not be required. For the requirements in your area, contact your local government.

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.

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. 

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