"Prior to these guys saving our property, we foolishly hired an under-qualified contractor to install a large patio and retaining wall system. It turned out to be a never ending nightmare from the start that left us with pooling water everywhere, mud leaking thru walls and stairs that were falling apart. We hired Classical Pavers to hopefully resolve all our issues, and boy did they deliver. These guys are true landscape engineers! They uprooted the previously installed pavers, flawlessly re-pitched and graded the base, planned for all the possible drainige issues that might come up, and completely cleaned the pavers and property of any remnants of their work. I could not be happier with the professionalism of every level of their services. I would absolutely recommend them, and only use them for any and all future projects."

"There are not enough good words for me to describe the job Ray, his son Nick and their team did on my project. I am somewhat of a perfectionist and these guys surpassed my expectations. They worked with me throughout the entire process and kept me informed about what they would be doing. I described my vision to Ray and he helped me select materials and a design that would be in my budget. It was a very labor-intensive job as I had a 6 inch thick cement patio and walkway that had to be jackhammered to break up and then carted away.As they worked, they took their time, checking levels often to make sure everything was perfect. The job they did was amazing. It took them almost 3 weeks to complete as it was a very large job so they definitely did not rush through it to get it done. Both the Retaining Wallâ s as well as the patio will be standing long after Iâ m gone ð Ray was very good at getting back to me very quickly when I had questions. He was flexible when I asked for changes to the scope of the project and was very fair with additional pricing. We will be doing a lot more landscape and hardscape work around the house and RMP landscape will be the only contractor I use for this type of work moving forward. I have had issues with contractors in the past, particularly those who use subcontractors. I was happy when I asked Ray if he did so and he told me no, that he had his own team to do all the work. I would recommend Ray and his team with hesitation, If you were looking for a contractor to do any type of landscaping or hardscaping work. Their prices are fair, communication is great, and job is top quality. Weâ ve already received many compliments on the improvements that Rays team made to our property. We sat out on our new patio this weekend with a glass of wine and watched the sun set. First toast to Ray and team for a job well done!"

"Vinny was great to work with. He had some suggestions and was not pushing to up the price. He did exactly what was disused for the price we discussed. His crew did an excellent job redoing a paver walkway, installing a new retaining wall and a new paver patio that was straight, level and has the perfect pitch for water run off. I would definitely use him again and recommend him to anyone else."

"Start to finish Don and the guys at D&S did a quality professional job. From demolition to install to cleanup we were impressed with the quality of the work. But more importantly we're happy with the new look of our landscaping in the front of the house"

"They did a complete porch teardown and build. They did such a fantastic job. Family owned business, walked us through the process, listened to our concerns, and was very talented and knowledgeable. Price was very very reasonable compared to all other quotes. We would 100% recommend!! I actually already told my Dad to call for his retaining wall and patio. We are already discussing hiring them for other projects!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

A retaining wall can only function as a fence if it’s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn’t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall.  

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.
