Rickan's Landscape Construction is committed to excellence in every aspect of our business. We uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty, and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"I couldnâ t be more pleased with the exceptional work provided by Rickanâ s Landscaping. I used a local internet search to contact numerous companies for new landscaping installation. It was a daunting task to find someone that fits my expectations. Thankfully, Jeff Rickan contacted me quickly, accommodated my schedule and personally assessed the job site. He is so personable while sharing his expertise and passion for transforming landscapes. He listened closely to my vision and truly wanted to make me, a potential customer, happy. He returned to my home providing a timely estimate and comprehensive plan that worked within my budget. He thoroughly explained everything and made sure to disclose the time frame for the projectâ s commencement. I had no reservations about selecting Rickanâ s Landscaping for such a large important project. Once the project began, the team of workers arrived on time and put forth extreme effort and care. He communicated throughout the entire process and invited me to be incorporated with plant placement and selection before planting them in the soil. The true mark of a great company is experience, quality work and taking care of their customers. In this case, Rickanâ s Landscaping went above and beyond and will absolutely receive my future business - and most likely, that of my neighbors and friends!"

"Their work was good, but I had some major concerns. The retaining wall blocks were ordered without even showing me any styles. They showed up without a call (beyond, if the weather holds, we might be there next week; I'll keep you posted); and the work they did to re-lay some existing pavers and slate was not braced correctly. When I called to say that pavers were moving (after < a week), I was told it wasn't their fault."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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

Yes, you can use cinder blocks for many purposes, including retaining walls, foundations, garage walls, and fences. Building a cinder block retaining wall costs between $60 and $200 per linear foot, including materials and professional labor. For a 30-foot-long retaining wall, the cost ranges from $1,800 to $6,000.

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.
