Wood Retaining Wall Contractors in Berkeley, CA

"Matt Mahoney with Solves All Engineering put my mind at ease immediately. A general engineer by profession, Matt started talking solutions from the get-go, not trying to “sell” me his service. (He also worked within my budget and didn't eye me like a dollar sign, either.) Matt proposed a multipronged solution, digging a trench alongside and below the foundation wall, sealing gaps and waterproofing the outside of the foundation, placing a sump pump inside the trench to drain underground water away from the house, and then filling the trench with porous rocks compatible with existing landscaping. Matt and his crew showed up on time, completed the job on schedule, took care to clean up the work area, and stayed on budget. As proof of concept, Matt took a garden hose and flooded the rock-covered trench to simulate a heavy rain. As the trench started to fill with water, the electric sump pump turned on automatically, piping the water onto our driveway where it ran to the street. Perfect!"

"Great communication, very professional and I feel I received excellent advice on how to deal with the hillside that was pushing against the fence, voila I now have a concrete retaining wall to guard against the natural movement of the earth in addition to a beautifully crafted redwood fence. The new gate reflects a true craftsman. Ron George got the job done ahead of schedule too! I would highly recommend Babylon Gardens."

"Kim and Yard Creations Landscape Services were great to work with. My home remodeling showed their energy efficiency and sustainable construction expertise. They offered smart ideas to increase energy efficiency and comfort. Kim's professionalism, fast communication, and customer satisfaction were outstanding. I recommend Kim and the crew for energy-efficient construction projects."

"Meticulous preparation and careful following the plan of the engineer, passed inspections. He started early and worked hard and long. He had a crew that worked just as hard as he did. Everyone was pleasant and easy to get along with; our neighbors thought so too. At the end of each day they carefully cleaned up. Lote kept us up to date on each stage of the project and what to expect next. My husband and I highly recommend him for his excellent and timely work. Narda and Pete."

"We hired Jorge to pour a concrete foundation for a shed in our backyard. Jorge and his team were super responsive, coming out to see our site immediately when I called him. Their rates were affordable, and the work was done with care. Best of all, they completed the project in 3 days instead of the estimated 5 days!"
