Hundreds of satisfied customers and an experienced team are proof that we exist to exceed expectations in all we do. Melena Landscaping is a full service residential and commercial landscaping business based out of Lebanon, Ohio.

"I recommend this company enthusiastically without reservation! Dan was quick to come out to hear my concerns and look over some problems with my property. He is very knowledgeable and helped me understand my situation much better. He offered some creative solutions I had not thought of and gave several options. He was able to start the project less than a week later and completed it before other competitors had even submitted a bid. His crew was hard working, professional, and informative. I was very pleased with all the work and received compliments from several neighbors. I was glad to share the company’s contact information to one admirer that ask for it."

We specialize in the design and installation of outdoor lighting systems in the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area. We are not a landscaper, an irrigation company, or a mosquito control company. We are a professional lighting company. It’s our passion, and it’s all we do. From the very beginning, I decided that customer focus and satisfaction were more important than volume. I am proud to say that our company is 100% locally owned and operated. As a result, we have complete control of an extremely high level of product quality and customer service. With more than 2000 lighting designs & installs, we are the highest rated outdoor lighting company in the area. I love to design lighting systems that bring homes, landscapes, and business properties to life after dark. Our installers and service technicians take great pride in the quality of their work, and that shows in customer satisfaction. Nothing makes me feel better than the thank you cards and phone calls from customers pleased with our lighting work. It used to be that the very best companies treated their customers like friends. At Beacon Landscape Lighting, we still practice this proven philosophy. My team and I would love to work with you on your next lighting project. Call me. I will meet with you personally and design a lighting system specifically for your property. That's the Beacon way.

"Joe is a pro, the kind of craftsman you hope to find. Listened to what we wanted, flexible, stayed in touch, showed up when he said he would, great crew, fair pricing. Lights look sweet, work problem-free."

We are Ohio’s most trusted company for fiberglass pool and spa installation, pavers and hardscaping. Servicing the Dayton, Columbus and Cincinnati areas. No subcontractors, ever! Let our skilled & experienced, in-house team build the backyard you’ve been dreaming of!

"We cannot say enough about the amazing staff at Advanced Backyard Solutions. After speaking with several pool contractors, all of whom either did not win our trust or they simply never got back to us, we found this incredible team. Throughout our journey towards pool ownership, we encountered many people, several bids from local pool contractors, and many disappointments. We soon came to learn that Advanced Backyard Solutions is a family-run business, and that is the essence of how they treated us from start to finish and beyond, like family. Our job was extremely difficult, a pool on a steep incline that would require terracing. Frankly, we're not sure ours was their favorite job because of the extreme challenges of the hillside terrain, the same conditions that drove other contractors away, but every one of the crew associated with Advanced Backyard Solutions should be commended for outstanding work and detailed professionalism. From the initial design and visual/conceptual renderings, to ground-breaking, construction of the retaining walls, pool delivery, concrete work, electrical work, plumbing, the retractable safety cover, and everything in-between, Advanced Backyard Solutions delivered! They even attended a tricky permitting hearing to ensure our county zoning board had all of the facts to approve our build. The result has been nothing short of stunning, picturesque, and worthy of an award. In your quest to find the best fit for your pool, retaining wall, and/or patio project, you absolutely owe it to yourself to contact the Advanced Backyard Solutions family. Ask for Jacque (pronounced "Jackie") and tell her Steve and Andrea sent you!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Most railroad tie retaining walls have a life span of 20 to 30 years, though you may need to replace your wall sooner if it’s repeatedly exposed to heavy rain, runoff, and excess moisture. Railroad ties are typically treated with creosote, which makes them much more durable than untreated wood. Though they last longer, they don’t last forever. For the most longevity, make sure your retaining wall has a sturdy base and steel reinforcements. You should also install drainage to direct water away from the wall.

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.

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. 

They prevent soil erosion, add flat space, and enhance property aesthetics.

Yes, including patterns, finishes, and plant integration for aesthetic enhancement.
