"Steven and his crew did an amazing job with our paver patio and sitting wall. His team arrived when he said they would arrive, and the project lasted as long as he estimated. The crew from Superior Hardscapes was professional, timely, and neat. From the moment we met Steven, we knew we could trust him to create a patio that would look good for our backyard. We would highly recommend Superior Hardscapes for any outdoor project."

"We selected Hardscapes in late July 2020, and they were able to do the work in January 2021. We knew upfront they had a waiting list. They built a 70 feet long retaining wall as the existing one was railroad ties and it was failing. The new wall looks excellent. It took about a week to do, and it was rough work since it had been raining consistently. I also requested them to redo our stairs in the same area. While I should be most impressed with the wall as it is fabulous, I really love the stairs. It was excellent work. The gentlemen working were all very nice and did a great job cleaning up every day. The neighbors even complimented on how thorough they were with clean up. The owner came to the site every day staying as long as was necessary each day managing the project and reviewing work that had been done and tweaking if he thought it was needed. He was also very easy to contact and responsive if he wasn't on site. The owner appears to take pride in his work which is a very positive attribute. While he was here since we were very happy with the end product we also had him quote us on some other possible projects. In short, while there is a decent wait time, it is definitely worth it."

"The team did an excellent great job replacing 2 large retaining walls, including relocating one of the walls further from the house. They removed some small trees, installed drainage, and used the excess dirt to re-landscape part of the back yard which they seeded. They also replaced a wooden deck with a concrete patio. They were very professional, flexible and easy to work with. They made sure I was satisfied with their work. I recommend them! They do quality work at a reasonable price."

"Aspect did a wonderful job bringing our vision to life! We needed a fence installed in our backyard two weeks before our wedding and Joe EXCEEDED our expectations. He was responsive, came out immediately for a free quote and scheduled the work to be completed within a week! His team came in and worked quickly and efficiently to give us a beautiful wooden fence in time for our big day! He even gave us tips on how to paint and take care of it. Two years later, the fence is still in great shape and we will be working with Aspect to complete our backyard vision- the deck is next! I highly recommend Aspect for all of your construction needs!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Even if you think you know how to build a retaining wall theoretically, doing the actual work is a completely different story. There are lots of nuances in building retaining walls, and the slightest oversight can compromise their integrity. Therefore, we recommend you hire a pro to build, repair, or replace retaining walls.

Yes, to build a retaining wall, a permit is required. Similarly, any repairs or modifications to an existing retaining wall require permits. If the planned wall measures higher than 4 feet, most municipalities require designs and permits come through a licensed engineer. In some locations, if the wall is shorter than 4 feet, a permit may not be required. For the requirements in your area, contact your local government.

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

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.

Proper design and construction prevent erosion and add structural stability to landscapes.
