"They built a well established retaining wall with flagstone rock. Definitely the best work I have seen hands down when it comes to hardscapes. Highly Recommend!!"

"We used Chris Pope and his crew to do a yard clean up as a Chistmas gift for our family in Cincinnati. He came in and trimmed, pruned, weeded, raked, spread bark and hauled away debris. Our son-in-law said it was the best Christmas gift ever! The yard was transformed. Chris was thorough, effecient, and reasonably priced. We are very pleased with Chris Pope's service and would certainly use him again."

"They removed a weed infested ground cover that was beyond manageable. Put down a double weed block later, installed river rock and plantings. They removed and replaced a retaining wall that was aging with beautiful stone blocks. They removed weeds and dead plants behind our house and landscaped it for easy maintenance. The workmen we're on time, worked hard and completed the job in the time promised. All workers were polite and courteous."

"In the last 20 years there are just 2 or 3 contractors I'd have come back and do more work for me and Rob is one of them. Our home is a new construction and we were supposed to have a pool installed in August 2018. Rob came out and walked through the project with us in July. One delay after the next, more rainy days than we can count and next thing we find ourselves in March with the pool finally getting wrapped up!! Rob hung with us the whole time. When we were finally ready, he was ready! He had good ideas on several aspects of the back yard and we love the outcome! The quality of workmanship is excellent. The crew cleaned up after themselves every day and Rob communicated next steps with us frequently so we were not left wondering. We modified the plan several times and Rob updated the quote for us along the way. There were no surprises. He addressed questions and came out for a final walk through before I left on vacation. The pictures speak for themselves (before and after). I would highly recommend Rob to anyone looking for a quality outdoor space! (Note that the concrete around the pool was done by another company)."

"A 2-3 day job was spread out over 10 days. It was hot when they pour the cement so it dried really fast and made the finished product not look as uniformed. I am still waiting for them to finish the clean up."

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, answered by experts

Each design is different, so we can’t say definitively if you’ll need a dedicated drainage system in place for a two-foot retaining wall. However, you can likely skip the drainage, as this project is typically served for walls that are 4 feet tall or more. Even with a relatively low wall, consider drainage if you are building on top of clay or poor-draining soil types or if there are buried water sources nearby, like a well used for other outdoor garden projects.

Generally, a railroad tie retaining wall consisting of a single line of ties should be between 3 and 4 feet tall—and the height often tops out at around 6 feet. You can go taller, but you may need additional footings and reinforcements, including a second layer of railroad ties to support the added weight of the soil it’s holding back.

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.

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.
