"Hegedus Hardscape is an AMAZING family owned and run company. Sandor Hegedus first came and explained what our problem was (pavers had sunk over 15+ years due to poor original installation) and how to correct it. There was no pressure. They were here for an entire week, removing old pavers and installing the new ones professionally along with sealing them. You will NOT go wrong hiring Hegedus... they are worth EVERY penny!"

"Thank you Palmers Lawn Care for the beautiful backyard Oasis you created at our house! From the first meeting with Brian he was professional and drew a great design for our tiny backyard. It was a challenge due to space constraints, but he delivered. We now have an amazing Paver Patio that we enjoy year round. The crew did a great job installing the paver patio, steps, retaining wall, and landscaping. They showed up when planned and worked diligently until the job was done. The trees, shrubs and flowers that were planted compliment the design and give us something to look at Spring - Fall. It seems like something is always in bloom! My favorite are the limelight hydrangea trees - they are beautiful and I would never have known to pick them on my own. We couldnt be happier with the experience we had with Brian and crew. We definitely recommend Palmers Lawn Care/Palmers Landscaping for your patio and landscape instillation needs!"

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, answered by experts

Most retaining wall installations can be finished in one to three weeks, but the timeline varies based on factors like wall size and material. The local climate and major weather events, such as storms or flooding, can also extend the project's timeline, as can any holds ups in the permitting process.

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.

Yes, you can use cinder blocks for many purposes, including retaining walls, foundations, garage walls, and fences. Building a cinder block retaining wall costs between $60 and $200 per linear foot, including materials and professional labor. For a 30-foot-long retaining wall, the cost ranges from $1,800 to $6,000.

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.

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.
