"Reubin was very professional, charged a fair price, and did a great job pressure washing our house. Painting is not normally one of the services they offer, but Reubin recognized that we had an urgent need to repaint some exterior wood paneling before we had the house appraised, and offered to do the job as well. Quality Custom Cleaning is flexible and will work with your schedule to make sure that you are satisfied."

"It went amazingly. The employee I talked to over the phone was really caring and was able to get me all the answers I needed in a timely manner. The turf looks absolutely beautiful and my dogs love it! The install team did a really great job and were even willing to come back after the fact to fix a small problem with no issues. I would highly recommend this product and company to anyone thinking about getting turf."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Sand and gravel are two suitable options for filling behind a retaining wall. If you’re building your own retaining wall, you’ll complete this part of the process—known as backfilling—after you finish laying the blocks. Make sure not to skip it—otherwise, you could wind up with drainage issues, which can cause your retaining wall to collapse.

Regular inspection for issues like cracks or leaning and ensuring drainage stays clear.

Small retaining walls still require a foundation of some kind, typically a concrete footing. This helps to ensure the wall is structurally sound and prevents the ground from shifting over time, especially during those winter freeze/thaw cycles. The footing helps spread the weight of the wall and the load it carries over a larger area of the ground, thus assisting with stability. This is true of small retaining walls, larger rock garden walls, and the like. 

With foundation walls, the slab on grade and force at the top of the wall is resisted by flooring. With retaining walls, the force at the top of the wall is not resisted.

Most retaining wall installations can be finished in one to three weeks, but the timeline varies based on factors like wall size and material. The local climate and major weather events, such as storms or flooding, can also extend the project's timeline, as can any holds ups in the permitting process.
