"Austin was extremely professional and did very nice work. We had grading issues near the house and Austin helped craft a solution with me and then made it happen. I had struggled with other contractors in the area returning calls, not showing up when they said they would, and a variety of other issues - I did not have any of those issues with Clear View Land Management LLC. They showed up when they said they would, did what they said they were going to, and the price was very reasonable. I've included a few before photos of our issue, and then after the grading, and then after they were finished. "

Roberto Nova Landscaping was established in 2018. I have had a lot of experience working in landscaping but decided in 2018 to start my own business. I have the ability to do anything you need in the lawn services area including planting new trees, removing old ones, edging, brick pathways, mowing and spring and fall cleanup. We even can help you out in the winter with snowplowing! We have even done specialty installations of things like dog yard preparation and fencing. Just give us a call and we will give you a free quote1

"Had them fill in my back yard with soil and then sod to match the level of a new poured concrete patio. Turned out great. The grading is a nice smooth transition from my patio to yard now instead of a 2ft drop. They were very timely, and affordable. Will definately reach out to them again for future projects."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.  

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.

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.

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.

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.
