"My wife said we needed to build a wall, and that I was going to pay for it. So I called Aidan, and his team built me a tremendous 48' wall in my backyard. It is a beautiful wall. Prompt communication, good work, and a fair price. Great!"

"Damian was very responsive, he came by a few days after i first contacted him and gave me ideas of what to do around the yard.  We reviewed everything that i wanted done and he came back with a reasonable quote within a week.  The work was completed a few weeks after i put in the down payment and he even did some extra mulching that we had not discussed.  The yard looks great and mowing will be so much easier now.  He responded immediately whenever i had a question or sent him an email. Very professional.

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, answered by experts

They prevent soil erosion, add flat space, and enhance property aesthetics.

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.

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.

To maintain the integrity of your landscape, a retaining wall must be installed if the slope of the angle exceeds 35 degrees. The lean of the wall must be 1 inch per 12 inches in height to disperse the weight of the soil uniformly and guarantee the correct drainage of the soil.
