"Only got one month into services when Anthony Palmieri, the owner, left me a voicemail confirming services, then forgot to hang up the phone and proceeded to call me “f***king nuts” not once, but twice, and called his colleague Claudia over to continue to disparage me. My crime? Asking them to complete contracted services after noticing they hadn’t completed them during the first service. I see Anthony often responds to negative reviews and gaslights the reviewer - let’s see him do that when I have his bad behavior on voicemail. Anthony is deeply unprofessional, and his staff is equally rude. Hire any landscaper but this one. 0/10, would never recommend."

"I had the pleasure of working with Manny on my blue stone patio, and I couldn't be happier with the results! Manny is everything you would want in a professional mason—punctual, knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and highly trustworthy. His skill and attention to detail truly show in the quality of his work. The patio turned out beautifully and I was so impressed that I’ve already asked him to do another project for me.

"I interviewed a few people before making my decision using Rok and Iâ m glad I did. I did a complete gut renovation and he basically made my revision come to fruition. Even with the delayed/problems with renovations he always kept me informed. U told me he would always have someone at my house working and that he did. Not like the contractors Iâ ve worked with in the past that say that but then once they get the job.. the â oh someone would be thereâ and no one comes. I had a leak issue and he made it to my house 10 pm to assure it was taken of. Roc is reliable and hard working."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Poured concrete is likely the cheapest way to build a retaining wall, as this material costs anywhere from $6 to $8 per square foot. The next best budget-friendly option is to use landscaping timbers. These timbers are great for DIY projects, as they don’t require tools to successfully build a retaining wall. Landscape timber costs around $10 to $14 per square foot. Depending on your chosen garden style, you can also go with natural stones or concrete blocks. Natural stones can be expensive if you buy them, but they’re a lot less costly if you can source them from your property. 

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.

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.

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

Costs range from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on size, material, and design complexity.
