"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!"

"I contracted David to replace a 21 foot by 8 foot cinder block/brick veneer retaining wall that had collapsed after 60 years. David replaced it with segmented block at a lower cost than directly replacing with cinder block and brick. But the end results were a great improvement in wall appearance and overall home value. Extremely skillful and professional workmen. Best after job clean up I've ever experienced. My wife and I are totally satisfied and highly recommend 2D Pros. Jim T. in Raleigh"

"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

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.

While vinyl is the least costly material for building a retaining wall, the most cost-effective method is to use wood or concrete blocks for a DIY retaining wall under 2 feet tall. Wood is inexpensive but lasts 20 years or more with care. Concrete can cost a little more but is stronger and will last longer with less maintenance.

Most railroad tie retaining walls have a life span of 20 to 30 years, though you may need to replace your wall sooner if it’s repeatedly exposed to heavy rain, runoff, and excess moisture. Railroad ties are typically treated with creosote, which makes them much more durable than untreated wood. Though they last longer, they don’t last forever. For the most longevity, make sure your retaining wall has a sturdy base and steel reinforcements. You should also install drainage to direct water away from the wall.

If you've decided you'd like to skip the cost of restoring a brick exterior wall after considering whether you should repair or replace brick on your house, you can consider installing fiber cement siding over brick for a cost of $2 to $6 per square foot. When done properly, cement siding over brick offers a durable, low-maintenance option that can actually reduce your home's energy costs. It's also attractive. However, improper installation or installation over heavily compromised brick can cause water damage. 

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.
