Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"I couldnâ t be more pleased with the exceptional work provided by Rickanâ s Landscaping. I used a local internet search to contact numerous companies for new landscaping installation. It was a daunting task to find someone that fits my expectations. Thankfully, Jeff Rickan contacted me quickly, accommodated my schedule and personally assessed the job site. He is so personable while sharing his expertise and passion for transforming landscapes. He listened closely to my vision and truly wanted to make me, a potential customer, happy. He returned to my home providing a timely estimate and comprehensive plan that worked within my budget. He thoroughly explained everything and made sure to disclose the time frame for the projectâ s commencement. I had no reservations about selecting Rickanâ s Landscaping for such a large important project. Once the project began, the team of workers arrived on time and put forth extreme effort and care. He communicated throughout the entire process and invited me to be incorporated with plant placement and selection before planting them in the soil. The true mark of a great company is experience, quality work and taking care of their customers. In this case, Rickanâ s Landscaping went above and beyond and will absolutely receive my future business - and most likely, that of my neighbors and friends!"

"Their work was good, but I had some major concerns. The retaining wall blocks were ordered without even showing me any styles. They showed up without a call (beyond, if the weather holds, we might be there next week; I'll keep you posted); and the work they did to re-lay some existing pavers and slate was not braced correctly. When I called to say that pavers were moving (after < a week), I was told it wasn't their fault."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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.
