D&N CONNECTIONS LLC We are committed to excellence in every aspect of our business. We uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty, and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade, combined with ability, is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business. Our Professional Excavation Services: Site preparation and demolition Grading and leveling of land Trenching and underground utility installation Drainage work and site stabilization Land clearing and tree removal Road and driveway excavation Pond and swimming pool excavation Rock and boulder removal Backfilling and compaction Snow removal and de-icing Emergency excavation services

"To say that our experience with D&N was a disaster is an understatement. Last July, we hired D&N to grade our yard, install french drains, and install a retaining wall and fence. When we met with D&N, we were told that this would be a quick job and should only take a few weeks. We then found out that they would be subcontracting our retaining wall. We were pleased, as our meeting was very professional. That's where it ended. Not only was it impossible to coordinate with their team, we were constantly told that they would be out to work and then wouldn't show up. A few months in, we find out that this is a side gig for they're team and they all have full time jobs. Fastforward to 8 months later, the job was "finished." During spring, we notice that the french drains are not working properly. When we reached out to D&N, we were told that they had nothing to do with it. Absolutely unprofessional. We've spent weeks fixing issues that should have been taken care of. Do not hire!"

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.

To maintain the integrity of your landscape, a retaining wall must be installed if the slope of the angle exceeds 35 degrees. The lean of the wall must be 1 inch per 12 inches in height to disperse the weight of the soil uniformly and guarantee the correct drainage of the soil.

If you've decided you'd like to skip the cost of restoring a brick exterior wall after considering whether you should repair or replace brick on your house, you can consider installing fiber cement siding over brick for a cost of $2 to $6 per square foot. When done properly, cement siding over brick offers a durable, low-maintenance option that can actually reduce your home's energy costs. It's also attractive. However, improper installation or installation over heavily compromised brick can cause water damage. 

The lifespan of a retaining wall varies based on its particular material, whether it was properly installed, how well it’s maintained, and your local climate. Concrete, stone, and brick retaining walls last the longest, with concrete lasting between 50 and 100 years on average. Brick tends to last the longest, with a minimum of one century, under the right conditions. 

Timber retaining walls can start to deteriorate at 20 years, depending on the wood quality, but in the best case, they can last 40 years. Pressure-treated wood retaining walls last 30 years on average.

Generally speaking, a retaining wall should be between 3 and 4 feet high, depending on variables such as the wall-building material, the purpose of the retaining wall, and more. If you want your retaining wall to be taller than 4 feet, check with your local building ordinance office for the maximum allotment. You may also need a special permit for retaining walls over 4 feet tall.
