Get matched with top retaining wall installation pros in Mound, MN

"I was in emergency need of replacing a timber egress window well and an adjacent paver patio that chipmunks had tunneled into and destroyed. I needed it replaced before it caved into the basement window and now was the time. Secondly, I hoped for finding someone who could install a concrete pad attached to my garage’s slab for a future 3-season screened porch. I was having a struggle finding anyone for either. Patio installers didn’t want to take on replacing an egress window well. Concrete people said they were not comfortable drilling rebar into a 75-year-old garage slab. Greg was able to do all of this! His crew was able to relocate a large stone step used in the old patio and integrate it into a new extension of the newpatio. Greg’s crew was able to masterfully cut the replacement pavers tightly around the existing pergola posts, I was really impressed! The concrete slab was poured within the frame of an existing low-height retaining wall, but the edges were dug out deep enough below the ground for structural support of the future 3-season porch. We needed a railing around the egress well, and while such work is outside the scope of what he would do, Greg referred us to a metal smith who built for us a new railing and metal ladder into the well."

"Drainage and erosion resulted in the need for extensive deveopment of retaining walls. Fantastic work in stabilizing the area and now making it both functional and beautiful. The guys were able to take my vision and make it even better. Attention to every detail."

"Had a small retaining wall installed and it was an all around great experience. No pushy sales or outrageous pricing. Dan was great to work with on the installation. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Clark Companies again on other landscaping projects."

"Artistic Landscapes Inc. was one of many companies we talked to and received quotes from about installing a boulder retaining wall in our backyard to replace aging railroad ties and decking. The backyard is sloped with very limited access to move materials and equipment, therefore many of the companies we spoke with responded with either limited options for landscape ideas or unaffordable prices. Chris came out, listened to our ideas, gave us some of his and told us exactly what we could expect; he quickly put a bid together and we were elated it fell within our budget. 



He and his crew not only worked around the limited access issues, but challenging weather including rain and wet conditions/clay soils. In addition to an approximate 60 foot long boulder retaining wall, they installed 33 paver stones for a pathway, steps as a feature area, additional large boulders for aesthetic enhancements and graded the area to address critical storm water runoff needs. The placement of each stone/boulder was clearly thought through, resulting in a unique and attractive wall versus many of the standard "one on top of the other" looks.



Toward the end there were a few minor tweaks we requested to which Chris and his crew were more than happy to accommodate until they knew we were completely satisfied. Clean up was fabulous too; our front yard damaged by major equipment during the process (which we knew was necessary) was fully restored as promised!



Chris was good to communicate with and very trustworthy in terms of what he committed to delivering. I would recommend Artistic Landscapes to anyone seeking quality work at a fair price, and by someone who knows what works and what doesn't. We absolutely love our new backyard...thanks Chris and Artistic Landscapes!

"In addition to a new paver driveway, Maltese installed a boulder retaining wall as well as a terraced retaining wall. We had an outstanding experience working with Tom and the crew. They were professional and clearly master craftsman. Tom had great ideas and worked with us to accomplish the most within our budget. I would not hesitate to hire them again."

"I called several firms to get quotes on the repair and was surprised by the difference in prices quoted and in one case the scope of work to be performed. Most said that the cement crown and top 3-4 courses of brick would need replaced, one said the chimney would need to be taken down to the roof level which just didn't make sense as the damage was clearly only on the top. Joe was very prompt in scheduling a visit and by the time I met with him I'd already spoken with the other firms so I had a pretty good idea of the work that needed to be done. I liked the fact that he focused on what *needed* to be done rather than what was possible--I was getting these bids because I didn't know what needed to be done and wanted professional advice. Joe provided a clear scope of work and I was confident in his ability to do it properly. The fact that his bid was several hundred less than the others led me to believe that the others were charging more than necessary. Joe was good with communication about when the job would start (3-4 weeks out from my acceptance of his bid), and good with keeping me posted as they got closer to being ready to do the job. The crew showed up within the timeframe Joe said they would, and quickly set up their scaffolding and tarps on the roof around the chimney. After an afternoon's work they had the old materials removed down to the sound masonry and the new masonry and stone drip cap installed. The chimney was properly covered against the rain we got that night. The next morning the crew was back to put on the concrete crown and clean up including washing the chimney. The chimney was again covered as there was the possibility of rain. The following morning the crew was back to remove the covering, scaffolding and do a final cleaning. Each member of the crew was good natured and polite & it seemed to me that they had a good working relationship with each other. Nothing worse than having a bad feeling about the folks doing work for you and in this case there was none of that, these guys were pros and a pleasure to have working on our home. All of the work was just as Joe initially described it. They did end up taking off more brick than originally estimated, so the final cost was $150 over the bid. While I kept an eye on the progress, I didn't realize they'd done more than planned so was a little skeptical when Joe told that there would be an additional charge. Upon inspection I could clearly see what they'd done and I was happy to pay the small additional charge given that they did what was necessary to do a first class job. While I would normally expect to be notified in advance if the bid is to be exceeded, in this case the overage was modest and the work very good so I didn't have an issue with it. The final cost was still hundreds less than the next bid. Overall my wife and I were extremely pleased with Joe, his crew, and the work they did. We would have no hesitation recommending Metro Chimney and Masonry to any of our neighbors. Joe does great work at a fair price and provided a 3 year warranty on the work performed."
