Dave and his crew went out of their way. They even put soil down and planted seed to cover a drainage pipe, that wasn't even discussed. The finished project looks great! Hire Dave! He does great work!

I have 10 years landscaping and hardscaping exterior properties. I also managed to take my exterior french drain knowledge and turn that along with my masonry experience into interior wet basement improvement. By installing interior french drains into your basement along with a subpump system. Treating any mold fully sealing your floors and walls I can remove water from basement areas and remodel if requested. I am excellent at cement , mortar, and all masonry needs.

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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

Even if you think you know how to build a retaining wall theoretically, doing the actual work is a completely different story. There are lots of nuances in building retaining walls, and the slightest oversight can compromise their integrity. Therefore, we recommend you hire a pro to build, repair, or replace retaining walls.

Depending on who you hire to build a retaining wall, the average cost, including demolition and reconstruction, for a 50-foot wall that's 4 feet in height is between $7,000 and $24,000.

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.

The longevity of flood walls depends on how they were constructed, but most wood, gravel, and cement flood walls last 10 years. While aluminum flood walls may cost far more initially, they can be a good investment as they can last decades and will not be damaged by exposure to the elements.
