"Definitely 5 stars for Adrian Gomez and his crew. I had a major standing drainage issue in my side yard that turned into a muddy mess each time it rained. Premium Drainage & Erosion Solution came out, assessed the problem and installed a French drainage system. Professional, tidy, and worth every penny. Drainage work can be messy and they were incredibly respectful of my yard and kept the site clean every day. They took the time to explain the work and exactly where the drainage points would be. They didn't just throw gravel in a trench; they engineered a real solution. If you want the job done right, hire these guys! Great communication and the crew was very hardworking, professional and did excellent work - such a pleasure which is not common these days. They come HIGHLY recommended and I would definitely hire them again! "

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Most retaining wall installations can be finished in one to three weeks, but the timeline varies based on factors like wall size and material. The local climate and major weather events, such as storms or flooding, can also extend the project's timeline, as can any holds ups in the permitting process.

While vinyl is the least costly material for building a retaining wall, the most cost-effective method is to use wood or concrete blocks for a DIY retaining wall under 2 feet tall. Wood is inexpensive but lasts 20 years or more with care. Concrete can cost a little more but is stronger and will last longer with less maintenance.

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.

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.  

DIY is possible for small projects. Professional installation ensures structural integrity and durability for larger walls.
