"Outstanding once again! Nicolas always comes through with exceptional work and great customer service. Back in 2014, I had Nicolas install a paver patio with a retaining wall. Now, in 2021, I’ve decided that it was time to add onto the patio along the side of my house. Nicolas and crew did a fantastic job as usual! The side of the house now looks great, has really opened up and now drains the way it should. Nicolas is my go to person for these projects, give him a call!"

"We found David and team to be professional and knowledgeable. We have a HOA, and he provided documentation that we needed. He waited patiently for HOA approval of the project and then put us in line for the project. David stayed in line with our budget and alerted us of issues. We love our backyard pavers and retaining wall!"

"Had requested recommendations from several landscapers on HomeAdvisor and Chris promptly responded. He came to my home to access my needs and we discussed what I was looking for. Within a couple of days, Chris provided a full design layout for my review. Once I approved the design, Chris and team scheduled the installation date (within a week of approval) and completed the entire job in a day. Chris goes the extra mile to ensure his clients are happy and satisfied with the work. He is very professional and easy to work with. I am very pleased with the finished job and wouldn't hesitate to hire Chris again if the need arises! Thanks Chris!"

"The project pricing was inline with the other bids, but they listened to what i was wanting done, explained what they were going to do exactly, did what they said, with the highest quality work. They were on time and completed the work quicker than they originally planned. If anyone needs drainage/run-off problems in their yard addressed I would highly recommend they consider Vert Life. Above what they promised they'd do, they reseeded, fertilized and spread straw over the areas where they had dug. Excellent work quality and great communication. They'd be tough to beat and they offer other lawn and garden services as well. I expect to use them again in the future."
Lawn was till up.
Sod was lay and cut the edges of the bed lines.

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.

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.

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.

Railroad ties can be good for retaining walls, but it depends on the area. They have a desirable rustic look and are durable. The problem is they’re treated with creosote, a preservative the EPA says poses a risk to humans and wildlife. Over time, the preservative seeps out of the wood and into the ground. Many areas have banned the use of creosote-treated wood on residential properties. If your area does allow it, never use railroad ties near an edible garden or drinking water source. Instead, use wood that’s treated with an EPA-approved preservative or a wood-alternative composite material.

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