"I needed to have work done in preparation for having appliances installed through Home Depot and I was trying to get the site prepped for that. The installation process required shut-off valves above the floor and unfortunately, I have an older home and all of that had to be done. The company was very prompt to respond to my request to have a bid and do the work. The plumber arrived on time and seemed like a friendly person. The plumber then proceeded to get frustrated with me that he was being asked to work which he was calling "unnecessary". As I continued to ask him to do the work that I was paying for, he continued to be frustrated by it and that he would have to talk about this with Home Depot for these "unnecessary requirements". He was worked up by this. While I didn't feel threatened by him, as a woman alone in the house it made me uncomfortable to have a contractor get frustrated/angry in my presence for what I'm paying them to do as if I am making this up. It's just not ok. He never turned the water back on to the appliances when he left. I had to pull out the fridge and turn the water back on. The water to my dishwasher was never turned back on, which I learned later and I don't know how to turn it on so I have to wait for the new one to be installed and wash dishes by hand until then. To set up the work in the kitchen he used a shut off valve in the basement which leaked and ruined the ceiling tiles which now have to be replaced due to water staining. He left those wet tiles on the floor and ceiling open and a mess on the floor for me to sweep up. Also, really not ok. I am not sure what the issue was here with this guy but this wasn't a good experience."

"I hired Lucio Landscaping to level a sand pad for a pool. His men arrived on-time, were professional & pleasant, and did an absolutely perfect job. The area is level and the pool is filling as I write this. I couldn’t be happier."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Depending on who you hire to build a retaining wall, the average cost, including demolition and reconstruction, for a 50-foot wall that's 4 feet in height is between $7,000 and $24,000.

Yes, you can use cinder blocks for many purposes, including retaining walls, foundations, garage walls, and fences. Building a cinder block retaining wall costs between $60 and $200 per linear foot, including materials and professional labor. For a 30-foot-long retaining wall, the cost ranges from $1,800 to $6,000.

Poured concrete is often the cheapest material for a retaining wall, costing around $6 to $8 per square foot. Other budget-friendly options include vinyl and landscaping timbers, which range from $10 to $15 per square foot; landscaping timbers are particularly well-suited for DIY projects. Untreated timber and railroad ties are a step up in price, starting at $15 to $25 per square foot. Natural stones can also be a cost-effective choice if you can source them from your own property, but they can be expensive to purchase. High-end materials like steel are typically the most expensive but offer superior durability and aesthetics.

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.

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.
