"Awesome experience with Tyler and crew at Rock Solid Landscape. Tyler came up with a brilliant idea for our backyard patio project and for a fair price completed the job in half the time I expected. It came out beautiful and we are extremely happy. Tyler was always there to answer questions and to make any changes. The crew kept the work area clean at all times and were always courteous and upbeat. We HIGHLY recommend ROCK SOLID LANDSCAPE for a seamless easy experience by a true professional."

"We had to reschedule concrete work a couple of times, but the contractor kept me informed throughout the project. Once work started, the team got after it right away and the project was done within the time frame the contractor promised"

"Allen Landscaping always does a fabulous job of mowing my front & back yard. They let me know ahead of time when they’ll be coming and then when they are finished. They mow, edge, weed eat and use the blower to clean off the sidewalks and porches. I highly recommend them if you’re looking for a mowing company that is dependable!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.

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.

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. 

If you don’t backfill a retaining wall—either at all or adequately enough—the wall won’t drain well, and water will be able to pass through it. Poor drainage will lead to a warped wall or a buildup of hydrostatic pressure, which can eventually collapse your retaining wall. If you have particularly sloped land, consult a structural engineer to ensure your hardscaping is adding value to your home.

Costs depend on material type, labor rates, and additional features like decorative finishes or reinforcement.
