"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!"

"Pohl"s Landscaping did an amazing job of putting river rocks around our pool. They started at 8:00 AM and finished at 10:00 AM. Our house is on a hill so it was not an easy job. The project looks exactly how we envisioned it. We will definitely recommend them to our friends and will surely use them again!"

"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."

"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 FAQs, 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.

Rebar is a steel support that goes inside concrete to prevent structural damage over time. Concrete is susceptible to impact, weight, and tension. By inserting rebar into the concrete during the installation, you can help extend its lifespan and avoid hazardous situations where the foundation of your home gives way to tensile forces.

While vinyl is the least costly material for building a retaining wall, the most cost-effective method is to use wood or concrete blocks for a DIY retaining wall under 2 feet tall. Wood is inexpensive but lasts 20 years or more with care. Concrete can cost a little more but is stronger and will last longer with less maintenance.

The lifespan of a retaining wall varies based on its material, installation quality, maintenance, and local climate, with an average range of 20 to 100 years. Retaining walls made from durable materials like concrete, stone, and brick generally last a minimum of 50 years. Concrete walls typically last between 50 and 100 years, while brick can last for over a century in ideal conditions. Timber retaining walls can last from 20 to 40 years, depending on the wood quality, and pressure-treated wood walls average around 30 years. It is important to note that a retaining wall can fail prematurely if it was poorly constructed, for example, with inefficient footings or without necessary rebar reinforcements.

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.
