"Miller construction takes great pride in their work as exhibited by their schedule, very prompt. I had new concrete driveway and sidewalks installed. They listened to special details like the color I wanted mixed in the concrete to accent the driveway in the sunlight. The patio installed I wanted rounded corners and special details done and WOW These guys are incredible. These are special features that only qualified professionals could take on the tasks I will be using Miller construction in the fall for other concrete work to be done. I would recommend Miller Construction to anyone. If asked to endorse miller construction I would be honored. The work the team has done has changed not only the value of my home but the happiness I share with my family."

"I have been using Lawn Care Solutions since I moved into my home in 2015. From big projects (drainage installation, landscaping, walkway), to routine spring and fall clean up, Mike and his team are the only ones I would trust. Their attention to detail, communication, and quality have always been top notch. I wouldn’t consider any one else for my lawn care needs!"

"Estimate matched another contractor. 
He was thorough, comfortable to work with and answered all of our questions.
Day 1 they removed old walk and set up forms.
Day 2 they prepped the stone and mesh. Poured and finished. 
Day 3 they removed forms.
Design matched up well with the existing public walk and driveway.
The crew was careful to mask off a recent set of steps to assure no concrete would splatter.
As with any concrete work, the nearby lawn is disrupted and the homeowner is left with re-landscaping.

"I highly recommend this company! They removed four pine trees from our yard with care and efficiency. The Luke and Kenai were punctual, knowledgeable, and took great care of our property throughout the process. After removing the trees, they leveled the area, spread grass seed, and covered it with straw so the yard would recover nicely. The cleanup was excellent, and they left everything looking better than expected. We couldn't be happier with their work."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Yes, to build a retaining wall, a permit is required. Similarly, any repairs or modifications to an existing retaining wall require permits. If the planned wall measures higher than 4 feet, most municipalities require designs and permits come through a licensed engineer. In some locations, if the wall is shorter than 4 feet, a permit may not be required. For the requirements in your area, contact your local government.

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.

Each design is different, so we can’t say definitively if you’ll need a dedicated drainage system in place for a two-foot retaining wall. However, you can likely skip the drainage, as this project is typically served for walls that are 4 feet tall or more. Even with a relatively low wall, consider drainage if you are building on top of clay or poor-draining soil types or if there are buried water sources nearby, like a well used for other outdoor garden projects.

With foundation walls, the slab on grade and force at the top of the wall is resisted by flooring. With retaining walls, the force at the top of the wall is not resisted.

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.
