"From my perspective, everything went according to plan.  During the project, Eric had to substitute one part of the materials when the delivery of a product was not of the quality he was expecting (entire order of stone).  This resulted in some redesigning/replanning.  Everything was discussed with me and explained.  The alternative that was designed and installed was just as great as the original.  I much appreciated Eric's attention to detail on the stone.  Due to the location for that particular product, the defects would have been visible.  One other point on the materials.  The concrete steps used came in at a lower price than originally estimated due to the factory lowering its price.  Eric made me aware of the lower price and adjusted the final costs accordingly.  
I found his workers courteous and hard working.  Communication from Eric as the job progressed was outstanding.  As you would expect of a job this size, there were changes/adjustments that had to be made.  Each were discussed with me (and I with Eric) explaining the why and how.  For a job this large and complex, there were so many things that could have gone wrong; nothing did.
I mentioned the price adjustments for the steps above.   At the end of the job, Eric did a careful accounting of all costs and compared them (line by line) to the original estimate explaining all the differences (both direction).  I was in complete agreement with his numbers and appreciated this attention to detail.  It made me feel very comfortable with the price of the project.
I was also impressed by Eric's knowledge and expertise and how he utilizes them in the project.  In other words, he knows his stuff.   If by chance he doesn't know the answer to a question, he finds out.  He also has many local contacts he can suggest that know their stuff as well.  (I had questions unrelated to the project concerning grass seed and other things.)
I do not hesitate to recommend Serenescapes to anyone.  This is a quality product and one I will enjoy for the life of the house.  I plan to use them again myself for other (smaller) projects as well.  
One recommendation for anyone having this type work done, plan well in advance of when you want the project completed.  We started Fall 2015 with a desired completion of Spring 2016 to allow for the complexity of the project and the weather.  You can't and don't want to rush hardscaping.  If you have a known due date, be sure and communicate it.  I have no complaints with the work or the schedule and I'm ready to go this spring despite the abnormally wet fall.  Eric kept in contact to let me know when they couldn't work, why and when they would be back.  He monitors the weather constantly and plans according to the forecast.  I appreciated this communication."

Troy Best of Best Home Improvement is a very experienced skilled carpenter, with excellent woodworking skills.  He also is skilled at plumbing and electrical work.

The bathroom remodel was very extensive, and all the work, including the tiling, was done with great attention to detail.  The bathroom is now a show place!

The built in bookcase is very sturdy & attractive, and the closets are now "organized" closets.

The doors & window were installed carefully, and open & close easily.  The trim work displayed an excellent attention to detail.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
