"We have used Edger and his crew for a few years now for spring and fall cleanup, tree removal, leaf removal and even running loads to the dump. Very professional and far with pricing on work performed. Will be using him for many years to come. Have even recommended him to family and neighbors and they were very happy with him."

"Erik and his team performed well and on time. He is professional, meets you at scheduled appointments, follows up with bids/estimates, and is well prepared. Most importantly, he is honest and trustworthy and keeps close to the bid and explains all additional costs necessary for the job. The job site is always clean and all workers very respectful and polite. He has done multiple jobs because we trust he will do a good job and charge fairly. It is without hesitation that we recommend his company. J and E"

"I got three quotes, and they were very competitively priced. They completed the work quickly and did an excellent job cleaning up afterward. The new concrete matched our existing concrete perfectly, and the finished driveway looks great. I would definitely hire them again. In fact, after seeing how good our driveway turned out, our neighbors hired them and they’re working on their house now."

"Franklin did a great job! He was very mindful with our modest budget and planned a beautiful retaining wall and walkway for our sloped yard for a very reasonable price. He communicated well and completed the work in the timeframe he specified. He is one of the kindest and most reliable contractors I’ve ever met."

"We had a pretty big project done with Elevated -- including a lot of old broken concrete removed. We got a new back patio, extended driveway, and stamped/colored walkway. It all looks INCREDIBLE and we are so happy with the final product. Hugo and his team think about all of the details and are very communicative and helpful. I cannot recommend them enough."

"I have a small side yard adjacent to my daughter's home. I wanted a walkway around the area including a small conversation space which Fred accomplished with pavers. He added a grassy area in the middle and a retaining wall of beautiful landscaping rocks. He also gave me borders for planting flowers and a tree or two.. I am thrilled with the result. Fred is a most positive and upbeat person. He was eager to accommodate any of my desires even to the point of coming on his day off to work on a special request. He runs a trustworthy business with heart. I felt I couldn't pay him enough for his topnotch service."

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.

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.

Depending on who you hire to build a retaining wall, the average cost, including demolition and reconstruction, for a 50-foot wall that's 4 feet in height is between $7,000 and $24,000.

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.

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.
