"PCM CONSTRUCTION LLC. Exceptional work and design options with a fair price! My project was $3500 less than Palmetto Landscaping and Designs, LLC in Summerville quoted me. Israel, the owner, was timely in all communications and completed my entire patio paver project in 2 days. Highly recommend!"

"This is the fourth project that Distinctive Irrigation has been hired to do for my yard. They did my irrigation 3 years ago. Two paver patios 2 years ago. Last month they added a drip line zone for my new garden boxes that I built. And today they repaired my paver patios that my neighbors trees caused an issue with. Every project has gone smoothly (weather permitting) and every project the owner has been at. The crew is always professional and I value his opinion on everything I do when it comes to my yard. I'm an older female and I appreciate when I find a group of tradesmen who won't try to take advantage of me. Distinctive Irrigation has my loyalty for the great work they put into every project and how they continue to make my yard beautiful year after year. I've already hit him up for my Fall project, drain pipe installation. One of my coworkers hired him for that and had no flooding there after."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

A retaining wall can only function as a fence if it’s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn’t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall.  

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.

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.

Options include concrete, stone, brick, and wood, tailored for specific design needs.
