"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!"

"We had our driveway poured and couldn?t be happier with how it turned out! The entire process was smooth from start to finish. The crew was professional, hardworking, and paid great attention to detail. They did an amazing job, cleaned everything up when they were finished, and the driveway looks fantastic. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to have a driveway poured. Great work, great service, and a beautiful finished product!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

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

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.

With foundation walls, the slab on grade and force at the top of the wall is resisted by flooring. With retaining walls, the force at the top of the wall is not resisted.

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.
