"We are extremely impressed with our new deck and fence.  Working with Steve Edwards and his team was very easy and an overall great experience.  They were very responsive to all our needs and delivered a product that far exceeded our expectations. The quality and craftsmanship in their work speaks for itself!  I highly recommend Powerhouse and will definitely use them for future projects.
Thank you Powerhouse for a beautiful deck and fence!

"Tim and his crew always do a great job, they cut my yard whenever it needs to be done and it’s always done super quick and cleanly. They have the best rates and make sure that you are satisfied as a customer. He also put down plastic and mulch for my flower bed, and now it looks so much nicer. You won’t find a better quality and price for service ??."
Customer did not want  the gutter downspout flowing in their new bed. So we made it work
We can work around crazy angels too!
Had to dig out a root from a existing stump in the ground to level out the boarder. All hand dug and no machinery had to be used. Less machines is always more cost effective for our customers
We made the rock leaves even with their low profile deck.

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can use cinder blocks for many purposes, including retaining walls, foundations, garage walls, and fences. Building a cinder block retaining wall costs between $60 and $200 per linear foot, including materials and professional labor. For a 30-foot-long retaining wall, the cost ranges from $1,800 to $6,000.

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.

Yes, to build a retaining wall, a permit is required. Similarly, any repairs or modifications to an existing retaining wall require permits. If the planned wall measures higher than 4 feet, most municipalities require designs and permits come through a licensed engineer. In some locations, if the wall is shorter than 4 feet, a permit may not be required. For the requirements in your area, contact your local government.

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.

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.
