"I was faced with the perfect storm of a failed sewer line that led to need to replace foundation wall, install a new retaining wall and pour a new sidewalk. After speaking with a number of contractors, Staats was an easy choice. Serena and Bo from start to finish displayed a level of integrity, professionalism and care that I haven't experienced from another contractor. This was a long project, complicated and caused considerable stress and anxiety. Bo and Serena kept in close communication, answered my myriad questions promptly, always giving me a sense of confidence. In finishing the work they paid attention to detail and went above and beyond in assuring I was comfortable with the final product, which looks amazing, a neighbor immediately tried to hire them and my neighbors walking by remark on how great everything looks. I can't recommend Staats highly enough, and they will certainly be my first call if I have any masonry questions or needs in the future. Again, can't Bo and Serena enough!"

"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!"

"The most important detail is that CP stands by its work. A problem did develop over the winter, but company made it clear that they would make repairs gratis. I've only had this kind of work done once, so I can't compare the experience to that of any other company, but these guys were competent and responsive. I do wish I'd been onsite to check the work as it progressed; they could have cleaned up a bit better. Still, largely satisfied, as was a neighbor who also used them and recommended them to me.

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

If you've decided you'd like to skip the cost of restoring a brick exterior wall after considering whether you should repair or replace brick on your house, you can consider installing fiber cement siding over brick for a cost of $2 to $6 per square foot. When done properly, cement siding over brick offers a durable, low-maintenance option that can actually reduce your home's energy costs. It's also attractive. However, improper installation or installation over heavily compromised brick can cause water damage. 

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.

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.

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.
