"Follow up needed for more rocks and pump replacement. Rocky has been here after months of responding. Now he told us he has parts needed for repairs in his truck but has been over 6 weeks and still not done. WHy, as he stated he had Covid, family deaths, and illnesses. We have been patient and understanding, but this has to end- get the job done, please. It is now one year that we have not had the water garden working correctly."

"Uhl Stonework and Epoxy Floors were awesome!!! I was not sure what I wanted and how it would work out, but I was heavenly surprised by the results. Richard was very knowledgeable and helpful in helping me make a decision on how to complete my two projects. One consisted of having stone laid for my trash bins, so that they would not be sitting in the grass in my backyard. Also, Uhl built a rock bed with a stone wall in my backyard. I will be hiring them for my next project when I am ready to proceed. Thank you Richard and your team!!!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

With foundation walls, the slab on grade and force at the top of the wall is resisted by flooring. With retaining walls, the force at the top of the wall is not resisted.

Generally speaking, a retaining wall should be between 3 and 4 feet high, depending on variables such as the wall-building material, the purpose of the retaining wall, and more. If you want your retaining wall to be taller than 4 feet, check with your local building ordinance office for the maximum allotment. You may also need a special permit for retaining walls over 4 feet tall.

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.
