"As usual with Mike and his crew, the job went great. It was a fair price and Mike supplied the inspiration for great retaining walls. The job took only one day because his crew worked their tails off. The end result is an 100% improved back yard. Our hom"

"Our backyard in Warwick had a hideous six foot hill that NO ONE wanted to deal with. I had several companies come out for estimates, and most of them ran in the other direction. Once we finally found a company to start the job, they left us with an even bigger disaster. Cappella Enterprises came to the rescue for us. Rob (the owner) arrived literally within a few hours of me calling him. Unlike the other companies, he was calm and confident about taking the job on. He wasn't hesitant about fixing someone else's mess. Rob was also very passionate about educating us on the details of our project, and gave us the knowledge and tools we needed to protect us from a few fraudulent "contractors". Within a few days, he helped us get on track with permits and engineered drawings, guiding us every step of the way. As the owner/operator on site, he was involved with every step of the process. Decisions made quickly to keep things moving along. They worked 7 days a week until the job was done."

"I contacted Brian and we scheduled an appointment for a consultation for work across my entire property (approx 1.5 acres). The property presents a handful of challenges including a huge hill that would require a large retaining wall. Brian was extremely knowledgeable and was able to both answer and fully explain the reasons why he answered my questions how he did. He had some awesome ideas to limit the need of the 8 foot wall and maximize ground space utilizing other areas of the yard. The overall plan that we came up with is phase 2 of a construction project that is taking place at our home as well. We collectively decided that it would be best to wait until the addition is complete prior to starting the exterior work. Unfortunately this put us into the Spring of 2020, but that is no fault of Landscape Impressions. In all honesty, we have many friends who are Landscapers and who offer quality hardscape services. We spoke with Brian and Landscape Impressions on a referral from a co-worker and we're thoroughly impressed with his knowledge and apprentice honesty. His quote for significantly more work than we had originally planned was substantially less than the five others that were interviewed. Hope to be enjoying his teams completed work before Memorial Day of 2020."

"We are absolutely thrilled with the patio and wall Roger and crew built for us. Everything was top notch. It is hard to find a provider as friendly, punctual and competent as they were. It was very nice to see how the crew functioned so well as a team, right from start to finish. The patio looks great! Would hire them again in a second."

"John and his crew recently completed a stone wall and fence for our property. A severe storm had damaged an existing wall/fence. The previous wall and fence was removed, and the site was prepared for the new installation. John and his crew arrived on time each day, and did an exceptional job. They worked long days to get the job done both quickly and with great skill. We were thrilled with the outcome, as were all of our neighbors."

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, answered by experts

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.

A retaining wall can only function as a fence if it’s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn’t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall.  

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. 

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.

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.
