"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!"

"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!"

"Estimate matched another contractor. 
He was thorough, comfortable to work with and answered all of our questions.
Day 1 they removed old walk and set up forms.
Day 2 they prepped the stone and mesh. Poured and finished. 
Day 3 they removed forms.
Design matched up well with the existing public walk and driveway.
The crew was careful to mask off a recent set of steps to assure no concrete would splatter.
As with any concrete work, the nearby lawn is disrupted and the homeowner is left with re-landscaping.

"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."

"They came out the first good weather day to bid my job and came the next day to do brick work on my sidewalk. Very industrius,, pleasant, and they did the preparation, which included removing an industrial glue, very carefully. They showed up when they said. Rates were very reasonable, considering inflation. Highly recommended."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Generally speaking, a retaining wall should be between 3 and 4 feet high, depending on variables such as the wall-building material, the purpose of the retaining wall, and more. If you want your retaining wall to be taller than 4 feet, check with your local building ordinance office for the maximum allotment. You may also need a special permit for retaining walls over 4 feet tall.

Even if you think you know how to build a retaining wall theoretically, doing the actual work is a completely different story. There are lots of nuances in building retaining walls, and the slightest oversight can compromise their integrity. Therefore, we recommend you hire a pro to build, repair, or replace retaining walls.

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.

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.

Costs depend on material type, labor rates, and additional features like decorative finishes or reinforcement.
