Get matched with top retaining wall installation pros in Barto, PA

"Edgar has done everything from tearing down and rebuilding brick stoop walls and topping with new cement toppers, repointing brickwork on the main house to repairing a very high chimney on a terra cotta roof. He also followed us to our new home in a different county and did timely repairs and topped our stone chimney and acid washed the stone fireplace inside. He is very professional and polite, does great work at a fair price."

"Very professional. Easy to work with."

"GetItStoned, LLC is great. I have a stone rancher and ask them for a quote on the pointing the house, urgent stone repair work on the chimney and a small 18" high retaining wall. Very professional and communicated well with us along the life of the project (estimated start date, drop off of equipment and estimated finish date). All that plus they did a great job (no short cutting or inferior materials). I have them scheduled to stone face the front of the garage in December 2015. I highly recommend GetItStoned for any of your stone and brick work."

"Josh and Virgil were great!! We recently had and old railroad tie retaining wall replaced with a beautiful hardscaped wall and it turned out great!! This was only the first of many projects that we will have done by A Plus Landscaping, they truly live up to their name! Both of these guys were punctual, putting in full days of work to get the job done in a timely manner. They cleaned up after the job and left us satisfied! Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for hardscaping!"

"I recently hired Clark Chimney and Masonry for a chimney cap and liner replacement and I'm extremely satisfied with their service. The team was prompt, professional, and efficient. They took great care in ensuring a clean work environment and thoroughly explained the process. The pricing was fair, and I appreciated their friendly customer service. I highly recommend [Chimney Service Company] for anyone in need of reliable and top-notch chimney services!"

"The workmanship was spectacular. The company was great to work with. They kept us informed every step during the process. Overall an outstanding experience."

"Excellent! We needed 4 Timber Retaining Walls that were jointly owned by 6 households (10 people) torn down & Replaced with Stone Retaining Walls. (Not an easy feat with multiple households, one being out of state for an extended period.) However, the paperwork was managed easily by A & J Excavation. All signatures were obtained electronically and work was able to begin. At the jobs completion, everyone was extremely pleased with the quality of the work. Several of us intend on using then again next year for other projects on our homes. Honest, great prices, quality materials, excellent finished product, a 1 year warranty, and easy to work with. What more could you ask for?"

"Jacob did a wonderful job mowing and edging my parents' 1/2 acre lawn after they had moved out and while it was awaiting sale. He was pleasant, easy to communicate with, and was conscientious about only mowing the grass if it was really necessary. His price was reasonable. We are very grateful to have worked with him! The home buyer was so pleased that they also wish to use his services."

"I hired Rovase to handle several large projects around my hilly property (just under 1 acre not far from Valley Forge Park). Robert, the Rovase owner, listened carefully when I described my landscaping preferences. I soon learned that his entire crew was listening closely, as well. 


I explained that I like a more natural looking landscape, rather than a carefully manicured design. I emphasized that "perfect" and "symmetry" don't work for me. For that reason I'd asked Robert to bring about 25 small boulders to my property to reinforce a retaining wall of boulders that was started but never properly finished by another well known professional (and inept) landscaper, years ago.


Robert's crew did much more then reinforce the old wall; they reconstructed it. They pulled out the original 12 or 15 boulders, put down heavy landscaping fabric, then replaced the original boulders and added the new ones. They extended the wall to the full length of the bank, thus preventing the continued erosion of soil that began immediately after the original waste-of-my-money landscaper installed his faulty version of a retaining wall. 


Rovase cleared out all of the weeds and volunteer saplings that had sprouted (due to at least five years of neglect) on the bank and throughout my property and planted about 30 ferns, shrubs, and flowering plants as I directed. They even took care to ensure that the best, fullest side of each planting faced out, which NO other landscaper ever did for me. 


I must admit that in their effort to clean things up, they removed a few small existing plantings that I did not intend to lose, but I partially fault myself because I didn't tell them to leave those items intact. The guys restored as many of those plants as they could, and I feel that they made up for that minor loss by going the extra mile on so many other parts of this enormous project. 


I asked Rovase to use stone instead of mulch to cover this steep bank. I opted for the extra cost of stone to preclude the mandatory annual mulch restoration. Besides that, I needed something more substantial than mulch to stop the perpetual erosion on that steep pitch. 


The team also dug a long trench across the back of my yard and filled it with more stone to channel and manage the runoff water coming from the home behind me, further uphill. This  will prevent further damage to the foundation of my detached garage, which has born the brunt of countless post-rainstorm rivers rushing through my backyard for the past several years, presumably due to an uphill neighbor's modified drainage. (Hmmm. . . thanks neighbor.)


I also asked Rovase to create a small path behind my mailbox so that I could access my mail without stepping on to my busy road. That required digging out a large section of the sloping bank leading down to my mailbox. I expected that to be a difficult excavation but they did it in very short order; before I knew it, my days of risking my life to get my mail was a thing of the past.


This short new mailbox path gave me evidence that the Rovase team really listened to my speech about preferring a natural, non-manicured look. One of the guys digging out the bank behind the mailbox came across several broad, flat stones under all of the earth he moved. He took the initiative to situate those stones in a line behind my mailbox, creating a lovely, natural looking path. 


He then called me to review his idea, saying he thought the stone might save me money AND suit my preference for imperfection better than the pavers I expected to buy for the path. I was (and still am) giddy over how perfectly his solution suits me. 


What really amazed me and sold me on Rovase? They listen AND care!!


They all worked hard, moving a LOT of stone and boulder material up my hill, but I didn't catch the slightest indication of complaint from anyone. Each fellow was smiling, cheerful, polite, and dedicated to customer satisfaction. It was truly an impressive group of guys. 


All in all, I am impressed with the quality of the work and the thoughtfulness of the workers from Rovase. I would and will hire them again for future landscaping needs. Also, because the company does other kinds of general contracting and building, I will solicit help from Rovase on other non-landscaping projects in the future.

"I wanted to construct and extension on my home so I called Arius and the engineers came out and assessed my property and proposed a few different options that meet my needs. They helped me select the optimal design which meet my needs and within my budget. The design and construction was executed flawlessly and remained within our pre negotiated price and schedule. I was very pleased with their work."
