"Im not a person who generally writes a review but felt this was important and I don?t understand my experience because all of the other reviews are glowing ones. I will give the company 2 stars as he was on time , he came out and looked at the area I needed help with, made suggestions and then followed through with an estimate of putting sod down, putting a drain in, aerating and seeding and then even calling to see how it was doing. I really had high hopes but that?s where it ended. We watered and did everything we were supposed to but NOT ONE piece of grass came up. I spoke to Marcus the owner about it and he said that was unusual and I agreed with him because when Va Green has aerated and seeded the grass has come up very thick each year( guess I should have stuck with them). I told him how disappointed I was and he said he could come back and reseed and that?s the last I?ve heard from him and that was around the first part of October and now we?re at the end of November a little "

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

There are contractors specifically trained in the design and construction of retaining walls. Retaining wall contractors are skilled at dealing with the soil on your property and assessing what kind of drainage should be installed. They will recommend the best materials to use for the project and can handle the processing of permits by local authorities.

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.

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.

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.

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.
