Customers say: Quality work

"Outstanding service and quality. Retaining wall is beautiful and we received value added when they planted the landscaping! Also added job of digging up the turf under recently installed fence and placing landscape fabric and stones. Looks very nice and will save us time trimming. Also appreciated John's suggestions for plant placement and brick/ stone selection. Very helpful. We would definitely hire Concepts Green for future jobs."

"Brad and his crew at Evolution Concrete did an amazing job with our stamped concrete patio, walks and fire pit. He was very professional and knowledgeable and was really helpful with the design changes from our original plan. I will call them for the next project and definitely recommend them. Thank you for the beautiful patio !"

"Very responsive and easy to work with. Communication is excellent with timely updates and the pricing was very reasonable. I have continued to hire Fountaine LLC for other projects and the quality of work is excellent. The demo job was done with care and close attention to detail; everything was cleared up spotlessly. I would not hesitate to hire or recommend this company."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

To maintain the integrity of your landscape, a retaining wall must be installed if the slope of the angle exceeds 35 degrees. The lean of the wall must be 1 inch per 12 inches in height to disperse the weight of the soil uniformly and guarantee the correct drainage of the soil.

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. 

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.

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.
