"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

Small retaining walls still require a foundation of some kind, typically a concrete footing. This helps to ensure the wall is structurally sound and prevents the ground from shifting over time, especially during those winter freeze/thaw cycles. The footing helps spread the weight of the wall and the load it carries over a larger area of the ground, thus assisting with stability. This is true of small retaining walls, larger rock garden walls, and the like. 

The longevity of flood walls depends on how they were constructed, but most wood, gravel, and cement flood walls last 10 years. While aluminum flood walls may cost far more initially, they can be a good investment as they can last decades and will not be damaged by exposure to the elements.

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

Installation typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the wall’s size and site conditions.

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.
