"Ryan did a great job with communication throughout the project. He worked with us when we decided to add our front walkway and an overlay and new front step on our front porch. The results were amazing! They did a fantastic job!"

"Great costumer service from all. The gentleman removing old sidewalk, and forming new one, were great in making sure that the end product would be the best outcome. Explained everything. Project completed quick once it started. I'm happy with the new sidewalk."

"The crew was very professional and friendly and did a very good job. Some damage to our garage wall occurred and they immediately came out and repaired it. 
I would definitely use Nu-Crete again for concrete removal or installation.
A person who installs garage doors for a living happened to see our new garage floor and he said the floor was considerably better than most of the new floors he'd seen (presumably not installed by Nu-Crete) and he asked us for Nu-Crete's name so he could recommend them because he is often asked by homeowners for recommendations and until he'd seen this floor he didn't really have anyone to recommend."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

Most railroad tie retaining walls have a life span of 20 to 30 years, though you may need to replace your wall sooner if it’s repeatedly exposed to heavy rain, runoff, and excess moisture. Railroad ties are typically treated with creosote, which makes them much more durable than untreated wood. Though they last longer, they don’t last forever. For the most longevity, make sure your retaining wall has a sturdy base and steel reinforcements. You should also install drainage to direct water away from the wall.

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.

Options include concrete, stone, brick, and wood, tailored for specific design needs.

There are contractors specifically trained in the design and construction of retaining walls. Retaining wall contractors are skilled at dealing with the soil on your property and assessing what kind of drainage should be installed. They will recommend the best materials to use for the project and can handle the processing of permits by local authorities.
