"We selected Hardscapes in late July 2020, and they were able to do the work in January 2021. We knew upfront they had a waiting list. They built a 70 feet long retaining wall as the existing one was railroad ties and it was failing. The new wall looks excellent. It took about a week to do, and it was rough work since it had been raining consistently. I also requested them to redo our stairs in the same area. While I should be most impressed with the wall as it is fabulous, I really love the stairs. It was excellent work. The gentlemen working were all very nice and did a great job cleaning up every day. The neighbors even complimented on how thorough they were with clean up. The owner came to the site every day staying as long as was necessary each day managing the project and reviewing work that had been done and tweaking if he thought it was needed. He was also very easy to contact and responsive if he wasn't on site. The owner appears to take pride in his work which is a very positive attribute. While he was here since we were very happy with the end product we also had him quote us on some other possible projects. In short, while there is a decent wait time, it is definitely worth it."

"I couldn’t be happier with the work done by Gutierrez Lawn Maintenance. We recently had them tackle a major backyard overhaul that included a full drainage solution, fresh soil, and new sod. The results are incredible and it feels like a completely different yard! They offered a very fair price and the quality of the installation was top-notch. If you’re looking for a team that is professional and delivers exactly what they promise, I highly recommend them."

"I hired Alex for the job of installing a large 72" recessed fireplace into the wall of my master bedroom. Initially I was going to go with Touchstone Sideline recessed electric fireplace. After calling roughly 5-7 surrounding fireplace businesses and spending over 5 hours on the phone to get continuously rejected for project and timeline, I got in touch with Alex at Queen City Fireplace. He came out the same day to look at the space, and assess the job. He recommended Dimplex fireplace instead, and I'm SO GLAD he did. Within 3 days the final job was done, and the fireplace couldn't be more Spectacular! Alex was punctual, knowledgeable, experienced, and worked diligently to get the job done RIGHT! He was a breathe of fresh air compared to all other companies. I will be using him for all future needs, and would ***Highly recommend for all indoor/ outdoor Fireplace installations. Thank you Queen City Fireplace!"

"Wayne from Robco was great. He got the quote back to us quickly and was great with answering our questions. The two gentlemen that installed were fantastic. They arrived on time and worked until sundown. We would recommend them to all our family and friends."

"We've worked with a lot of contractors. Outdoor Artisan is the best we've ever worked with. First off, we interviewed many companies for this project. We were amazed at how many didn't show, promised quotes and didn't deliver, had no ideas and asked us to come up with a plan, or were completely overpriced for unimaginative or cookie cutter ideas. We wanted something that was unique, well made, and beautiful. From the outset, it was a pleasure to talk to the owner's wife, Tracey, who was kind, courteous, and responsive. Clive, the owner, came out and listened to our ideas and asked us some critical questions about how we wanted to use our patio. He was extremely thoughtful and didn't rush through the design process. The design he created was absolutely what we wanted and it wasn't "over the top" - or too much for the size and style of our home. They communicated with us every step of the way, from when they were going to first arrive, all the way through final punch list items. The workers were polite and clean. When they finished for the day, everything was washed down, swept up and put away. When we wanted to upgrade some pavers during installation, Clive and his right hand man, Jason, were very helpful with the selection and made adjustments to their orders and schedules to get it done. When they started to lay stone and the color/design didn't work, they didn't just keep going and complete it in a way that we didn't like. They stopped and told us that they didn't like it, we agreed, and changed the color and design. We are so used to contractors that do not do what they say they will do. It was so refreshing to deal with someone who actually cares about their commitments and reputation. Everyone who has seen our patio has been blown away. It is a work of art and a joy to just sit and look at. It has been two years since installation and we have had no problems. Gorgeous in every way. We are now moving. The patio was a huge selling point and allowed us to get a lot more money for our home than other comps in our neighborhood. We have already contacted Clive to have Outdoor Artisan do our patio at our new home. Thank you Outdoor Artisan!"

"Our home has a partially finished basement and is on a grade.  We experienced a major flood in July and were looking for options on how to protect our home from further flooding - as well as a way to improve the quality of the air, etc in our basement.  I contacted all the big local waterproofing companies for quotes.  The reason I did this was not only price, but the configuration of our home and the problems we were having were somewhat unique - so I wanted to make sure we considered all the options, and this is not a job you want to do twice.  Tim from AccuDry was the first person we met.  Tim is very knowledgeable and friendly.  He came over and within 30 minutes had put together a comprehensive plan.  Our basement and crawlspace were a mess, and frankly, I was having a hard time envisioning what it would look like after the waterproofing.  Tim assured me that it would be great.  We liked what he had to say, but of course we wanted to get other opinions.  We met with half a dozen other "waterproofing" experts, some smaller ones and some of the big names you see around town every day.  I was shocked.  Some of them were fairly knowledgeable, but some of them had no idea what they were talking about.  None of them put together a comprehensive solution like Tim.  And, price wise, AccuDry was very competitive.  We were so impressed with Tim's experience and confidence in his plan that we went forward with AccuDry as our waterproofing contractor.  Tim brought in his guys - a small crew that have been working together for years - and Tim was also on the job working with them and supervising regularly.  They installed a complete interior drain system, including a gravity fed outlet, so we did not have to rely on sump pumps or electricity any longer.  The guys were very friendly and accomodating.  If you have water issues in your basement or crawlspace, you know that this work is not easy, nor is it always very pleasant.  Tim's crew enjoy what they do and take pride in doing it right.  And, they are very talented.  When you take on a job like this, there are a lot of little things that need to be done in the process - removing parts of walls, digging trenches through gardens, re-pouring concrete walkways, etc.  Tim's crew took these tasks in stride and handled them with ease.  They put in the extra time and material needed to make sure the job was done right, and cleaned up to the point that you would not know they had been there.  And Tim stuck to his original price - even though I am sure he ran over on labor and material from the original quote.  I don't think any other contractor would have taken the time and care to install our system in this manner.  In fact, many of the other proposals were more like bandaids than solutions ... and no one else was willing to put in the work required for a gravity fed system.  AccuDry did a fantastic job.  When it rains, I feel confident that our home is going to remains dry and clean.  We can already feel a difference in the air quality / moisture in the basement.  I would recommend AccuDry to anyone with a water problem in their basement.

"It went very well. Raymond was super communicative and professional. Did a very good job and while small, the project was not easy due to soil conditions. The wall has done exactly what it was supposed to do and rerouted the water and held back the soil."

FAQs for retaining wall installation projects in Chester, SC

With proper design and construction, stone retaining walls can last anywhere from 50 to 200 years. They're built to withstand soil pressure and environmental factors, especially when reinforced with geogrid and constructed on solid foundations. Using quality materials and skilled professionals ensures your retaining wall will be durable for decades.

You can choose between natural stone and stone veneer for your project. Natural stone offers timeless durability and character, while stone veneer provides a sleek, modern look and is lighter to install. Both options are strong and provide good drainage. Consider your budget, maintenance preferences, and design goals to decide which material is best for your wall.

Choosing the right masonry professional is key to ensuring your stone wall stands the test of time. Be sure to check that the contractor has valid licenses and certifications, and a strong track record of quality work. Look at their past projects and read customer reviews. Meeting them in person and getting detailed quotes will help you make an informed decision. Taking these steps will help you find an expert who can build a sturdy and beautiful wall for your home.
