"Jeff and his crew at Earthtones Harscapes did an outstanding job from start to finish installing a new patio and walk for our home. They were very professional, responsive, and we couldn’t be happier with the team, their talents, and especially the end results of their hard work that we’ll be enjoying for many years to come."

"This company was just as their name stated. They called to schedule an appointment immediately and were on time and very professional. A true inspector came out, not a pushy sales man and "she", which truly impressed me, was extremely knowledgeable and made sure we understood the basics. The crew was clean and very thorough. I have already recommended them to three other people. Thank you Kristen for all your help."

"Price Right Pools is the BEST contractor that I’ve every worked with. Izabella, the owner, is helpful, communicative, super-professional and made sure the job was done to our satisfaction. This past year the Izabella and her team turned our 35-year old, run-down pool and patio into a beautifully hardscaped outdoor living area, with a gorgeous resurfaced pool. Izabella came to our project with wonderful suggestions, from the overall design down to the smallest details. Early on we met with her at her supplier and picked out paving stones (much better than choosing them from a catalog, which we could have done). Her crew was very professional. Flavio, the foreman/supervisor for the hardscaping was terrific, as was his entire crew. We had some permitting issues with the township early-on, which Izabella resolved by staying on top of it and keeping us informed. I would not hesitate to recommend Price Right Pools for working on your pool and/or patio and would hire them again in a minute!"

"3D Landscaping We made a great decision when we chose 3D landscaping several years ago. My husband and got to the age where we no longer could do the heavy work needed to keep our patio perennial flower bed weeded, thinned and cut back. Daniel has been reliable, courtious, and pleasant. Every year the Spring and Fall cleanup for us has been scheduled timely and has been the special help that we needed, leaving us with a bed ready for the spring growth and thoroughly cleaned of the fall debris. Highly recommend 3D."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

Poured concrete is often the cheapest material for a retaining wall, costing around $6 to $8 per square foot. Other budget-friendly options include vinyl and landscaping timbers, which range from $10 to $15 per square foot; landscaping timbers are particularly well-suited for DIY projects. Untreated timber and railroad ties are a step up in price, starting at $15 to $25 per square foot. Natural stones can also be a cost-effective choice if you can source them from your own property, but they can be expensive to purchase. High-end materials like steel are typically the most expensive but offer superior durability and aesthetics.

Yes, to build a retaining wall, a permit is required. Similarly, any repairs or modifications to an existing retaining wall require permits. If the planned wall measures higher than 4 feet, most municipalities require designs and permits come through a licensed engineer. In some locations, if the wall is shorter than 4 feet, a permit may not be required. For the requirements in your area, contact your local government.

Installation typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the wall’s size and site conditions.

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.
