"In late July, I hired JNR Landscaping through Angie s List for backyard upgrades. After providing pictures and discussing the project, I paid a deposit. Initially, work progressed smoothly as they cleared the area, laid tarp, and added gravel. However, the gravel was not the light color we had requested. I offered to cover the cost for an additional layer of white stone. The pavers were also poorly installed, loose, and not packed with sand. I met with the contractor, Ross, in late August to address these issues. We discussed changes, including larger pavers and the white stone layer. After a lengthy and productive meeting, Ross assured me he would send a revised estimate, but I didn t hear back by September 6. I followed up with Ross and I was sent directly to voicemail. I received a cryptic text that read forwarded info to my dad. He will be in contact with you Since I had never spoken or had any dealings with his dad, I was not quite sure what this was about. Ross s father called me with an extremely hostile attitude, accusing me of leaving his son in the car and berating me for no apparent reason. He was verbally aggressive, unprofessional, and even threatened to tarnish my reputation if I complained. Ultimately this project was done poorly and it is still incomplete. I have been verbally abused and threatened by the owners of this company and I still need to complete this project. I am now seeking a refund for 100 pavers ($1,200), the spray ($120), and an additional $1,780 to cover labor costs I will incur to hire a new contractor, totaling $3,000."

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.

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.

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.

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.
