"We bought an existing home in Bonita, whose backyard had been neglected and quite frankly not only looked bad but the grading was terrible and drainage was virtually non-existent. Timberwood Landscaping just finished our backyard remodeling project and we could not be happier with the results. I interviewed 8 different Landscaping companies for the project. Timberwood was head and shoulders above the rest starting from the initial visit. Their proposal pricing was also very competitive. Our detailed project involved about 925 sq feet of lawn and 700 sq feet of concrete patio. It included removal of the existing shoddy lawn; installation of proper grading and drainage; irrigation system for lawn and plants; new lawn; new plant palette; removal of the existing cracked/worn/poorly graded concrete patio and replaced it with a new colored concrete patio in a deco store diamond pattern and a sidewalk . There was a new sitting wall installed and 4 column stucco bases around the patio columns to match the house and sitting wall. The existing worn gray colored planting walls were also painted to match our house. In all, there was about 925 sq ft of lawn and 700 sq feet of finished patio. Including the Planter areas. It was a comprehensive project. Timberwoods owner, Jonathan Bolin and his crew simply did a fabulous job. Jonathan and his Team's attention to detail was just great. He is a combination of an Engineer, Landscaper and Artist. He provided the most detailed exacting proposal of any of the landscapers in a timely fashion. The proposal detailed the work to be done. There were no surprises and the project was finished exactly within the time frame quoted. After working with us to see what our vision for the backyard look was, he provided a detailed CAD diagram of the proposed backyard for our approval. We made no changes, it was exactly what we envisioned. His attention to detail also included grouping plants not only for pleasing aesthetics but also by sun and water requirements with an eye towards low ongoing maintenance. We were kept in the loop every step of the way and always knew what the next step was going to be. We felt that Jonathan and his crew worked as if they were working on their own house. That was the level of caring. In today's cut-corners world, it is a real pleasure to observe skilled professionals who know and do their jobs extremely well. Kudos to Jonathan, Marty, Roberto, Sal and Angel as well as the other specialists Jonathan brought in as needed. Thank You for making our backyard vision a reality without breaking the bank. In summary, I would highly recommend Timberwood and would hire them again in a heartbeat."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Small retaining walls still require a foundation of some kind, typically a concrete footing. This helps to ensure the wall is structurally sound and prevents the ground from shifting over time, especially during those winter freeze/thaw cycles. The footing helps spread the weight of the wall and the load it carries over a larger area of the ground, thus assisting with stability. This is true of small retaining walls, larger rock garden walls, and the like. 

The lifespan of a retaining wall varies based on its material, installation quality, maintenance, and local climate, with an average range of 20 to 100 years. Retaining walls made from durable materials like concrete, stone, and brick generally last a minimum of 50 years. Concrete walls typically last between 50 and 100 years, while brick can last for over a century in ideal conditions. Timber retaining walls can last from 20 to 40 years, depending on the wood quality, and pressure-treated wood walls average around 30 years. It is important to note that a retaining wall can fail prematurely if it was poorly constructed, for example, with inefficient footings or without necessary rebar reinforcements.

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.

If you've decided you'd like to skip the cost of restoring a brick exterior wall after considering whether you should repair or replace brick on your house, you can consider installing fiber cement siding over brick for a cost of $2 to $6 per square foot. When done properly, cement siding over brick offers a durable, low-maintenance option that can actually reduce your home's energy costs. It's also attractive. However, improper installation or installation over heavily compromised brick can cause water damage. 

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.
