"I had a photo of a brick pattern I saw in NC and shopped it around to several companies. Thiago was prompt in responding to my inquiry and providing an estimate. After a clarifications, we signed a contract and work began within a few months. The crew was super courteous and easy to work with. Any issues or concerns I had during the installation were immediately addressed without any hesitation or pushback. I am very pleased with the finished product."

"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"

"Excellent work. Repaired a stone retaining wall. Diagnosed what the original contractor did wrong years ago. Dismantled the retaining wall where is was leaning badly and rebuilt it correctly. Looks great, work done correctly and quickly. Will use them again in the spring for stone porch issues."

"I had a job that was very sensitive and required an operator that was amazingly precise. It was excavating next to a building with zero tolerance for error. I also had a job that required some consultation on what could be done and how to do it. This job was a new pond. Alex easily completed BOTH jobs ON TIME!! First, he made all the work look so easy with his finesse and control over the machinery. When he completed the wall, it looked as if it was dug with a laser! The pond ended up being much harder than I thought. Terribly rocky soil, extreme heat, and lots of vegetation to remove. Again, Alex made it look easy. I was dumbfounded at the amount of material he was able to move in such a short time. The last piece was the price. The estimate seemed too low. After seeing what Alex was able to do, I knew he was undercharging for his experience and expertise. The final bill was EXACTLY what Alex told me it would be. I cannot say enough good things about how he works. Note, he does not even throw out his trash in my garbage can, he takes it home with him."

"Top 1 Chimney Company replaced our roof and installed new flashing around the chimney. The team worked efficiently, protected our landscaping, and completed the project on schedule. The new roof looks amazing, and we haven’t had a single leak since. Highly recommend them for roof replacement and chimney flashing installation."

"They did an excellent job at a competitive price. They removed the limb, branches and cleaned up all the debris. The work was done timely, in a good attitude and professionalism. I suggest describing in detail the work to be done in order to avoid misunderstandings. Walter was very responsive and our satisfaction was important to him and to his crew. Highly recommend and will use them again for the next cycle of trimming/tree work."

"The flat roof of our 2 family house was leaking intermittently after multiple attempts to patch it. I called Milestone and Mik returned my call right away, scheduled a visit within days to inspect the roof and provide his proposal. He arranged for a crew of 4 to come the following weekend for 2 days to install new roofing. Because rain was forecast for Sunday of that weekend, Mik sent a larger crew who finished the job in one very long day. They were extremely hard workers and cleaned up everything before they left. It's been 4 months and a number of torrential rains since the work was completed with no leaks. Mik guaranteed his work for 10 years. I would definitely recommend them!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.  

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.

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 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.

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.
