"Great workers! Trustworthy and dependable….Did an amazing job on all our projects, loved everything they did….gravel work, artificial turf, fence building, they did it all and more! Have used them many times and will continue to use them in the future! If you want it done right, there the guys for the job."
"Contractor keep appointment (even though there were 2 or 3 calls expressing confusion about time and day); installed the drywall and cleaned the area. The drywall installation was not smooth and when textured looked amateurish at best. Before I could paint I had to sand several areas and apply canned texture-not the most professional look but time was a factor. the next time the wall is painted will require extensive prep work to make it look professional. Good things: appointment keep; work was done as explained; no extra charges. Not so good: Technician was not a drywall guy. "
"Lobo tree service was pleasant to deal with. They were punctual, hardworking, and friendly. I appreciated their service, and pricing was fair as well."
"Art was punctual, professional, and very knowledgeable about everything landscape related. He performed the work needed and made improvements that were not noted for the estimate. We will call him again for our landscape needs."
"We pulled out the carpet and tiled our entire house. I had no idea how much work tile installation was until we hired R G Enterprises to work on our house and restore it's beauty. The floor looks amazing! Richard and his workers are friendly, professional, trustworthy and do quality work. Their positive attitudes and punctuality were a nice change in today's standards of service. I will be contacting R G Enterprises for all of our future projects."
"Outstanding job! Alejandro Gomez did a great job with his crew to make my patio look wonderful and just the way I wanted. He was very accommodating and professional."
"Humberto and his son, Abraham, are amazing. Very honest, hard working and they are involved in every aspect of the job. They built a large retaining wall for us as well as a split rail cedar fence. They are professional, fair priced, and show a unusual and welcomed level of integrity! The wall and fence are extremely well made and they did all that they said they would do. I would absolutely hire them again, and will for whatever projects we have in the future. I am sure that you will be more than pleased! My mother and brother have since used their services, with similar positive feelings about these men and their products!"
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.
Installation typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the wall’s size and site conditions.
Proper design and construction prevent erosion and add structural stability to landscapes.
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.
Depending on who you hire to build a retaining wall, the average cost, including demolition and reconstruction, for a 50-foot wall that's 4 feet in height is between $7,000 and $24,000.
