"Sam and his team constructed a composite deck, w/ aluminum rails, a gate and 2 set of stairs. In addition, he rebuilt a retaining wall and added drainage from the house gutters. Per usual, his work was outstanding and he will continue to be my go to for all exterior projects. Would highly recommend him for all projects, large and small (retaining walls, drainage, pavers, decks, etc.)."

"Exceptional service. Tom and his team exceeded our expectations in every possible way during the landscaping process. My wife and I wanted our largest retaining wall rebuilt as it had begun to lean excessively creating an unsightly and unsafe area in our backyard. We met Tom last year to discuss the project and he was easily able to answer all of our questions and offer some suggestions. The proposal was delivered to us in a timely manner and Tom started the project a week earlier than expected. The team working on the retaining wall were impressive. This was a complex wall to rebuild. When the wall was originally built, we learned it didn’t have any 3/4” crushed stone along most of the wall or geogrid in most places. Tom and his team made it look easy. They showed up each day early and on-time. The guys were very friendly and accommodating. In fact, Tom was onsite every day to drop off supplies or ensure everything was progressing as planned. During the entire project, all of the landscape rock, dirt, and material was always delivered on time and the right amount. There were no delays other than a brief rainstorm. Since I was working from home during the construction, I was able to monitor the progress. I felt they really took pride in their work. Yea it’s a retaining wall, but a big one and it was engineered perfectly. It has really made a difference to our landscape. We gained 5+ feet of additional space along the length of the wall too. In addition, we wanted our existing steps down to the backyard replaced as they were built incorrectly. The original spacing was too narrow for anyone to walk down without tripping. We decided on a natural stone step and used a grey limestone. This was a perfect choice. The steps look amazing! Plus, we no longer trip. In summary, I thought this landscape company was a great find and a hidden gem in St Louis. We are so happy with our new backyard and would recommend Tom and his team to anyone!"

"We had a large, difficult project that involved tearing out an old retaining wall and installing a new one. There various obsticles, such as low cable/power lines, nosy neighbors, etc. They maintained professionalism throughout the process and delivered a quality product."

"I purchased a landscape deal on Angie's site - 8 hours of work for the price of 4 hours.  Tom came out to look at what we wanted done soon after I purchased the deal. I asked if he could get the work done by a certain day, which was about 3 weeks away,  He never said he could but, he also didn't say he couldn't.  He emailed me an estimate the next day.  I approved it and he said he follow up with a time.  Ten days later I still hadn't heard from him.  I emailed him and told him we were leaving town in a few days (this was the day I had hoped to have the work done by) and he could do the work while we were gone but he would have to wait for payment until we were back.  He replied and said he hoped to come before we left.  Needles to say he did not come before we left nor did he come the two weeks we were gone.  When we returned home I wrote to him outlining the sequence of events since our agreeing to the contract and asked for our money back since he seemed to have taken on more work than he could handle.  He showed up the next day with his crew and did the job.  We were initially very impressed with Tom's knowledge and looked forward to his company doing the work.  Though we understand weather plays a great role in a landscapers schedule we talked to our son while we out of town and he said it did not rain while we were gone.  So we, unfortunately, will either look for another landscaper or return to our former one.

"Talk about above and beyond!! Wow! The Allen Outdoor Solutions team blew me away with AWESOME SERVICE!! They have maintained our yard and landscape for many years so we asked them to install an irrigation system. The installers were VERY PROFESSIONAL and CLEAN! Our yard was put back in better condition than when they arrived. We chose a HUNTER HYDRAWISE system, which is operated from our Smart Phone. SUPER COOL!!! I also want to mention the office staff and coordination team. We were informed every step of the way before installation and also receive a follow-up call a few days after to make sure everything was operating correctly. THANKS!!!"

"Blake and his crew were amazing! I have them clean out 6 flower beds, replace the old mulch with rock and trimmed up the plants that I wanted to keep. Did everything I asked for and more. Will definitely use them again."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Installation typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the wall’s size and site conditions.

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.

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.  

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.

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.
