"Absolutely horrible. Miguel has no idea what he is doing when it comes to concrete work. He hires it out and the workers show up asking for more money to do the work I paid for. My concrete slab was poured without gravel and without rebar. Concrete was done extremely sloppy it?s cracked and is continuing to crack. I was extremely rolled with what I paid for and received. They got concrete all over my pool fence and didn?t even clean it up. The concrete was suppose to match my existing concrete lines and it doesn?t they didn?t even put the lines in to match it. I can?t install posts onto the concrete because it?s not even 4 inches thick!!!!!!!Communicate is awful he sends text that make no sense at all. They crushed two pool runoff pipes they only fixed one of them by cutting off 5 ft of pipe. I?ve had to hire a pool repair guy to fix the other runoff pipe which is becoming costly because dirt was shoved so far into the pipe. HORRIBLE ,HORRIBlE, HORRIBLE work period."

We specialize in everything related to the Hardscape and Outdoor living areas, we can make your backyard of your dreams come true!

"J&C Hardscapes LLC did a fantastic job. Angi Gave me three references. A large company failed to respond. J&C Spent their time ministering what needed to be done. I had another company to come out. They gave me a price on the spot, I did not feel comfortable with their estimation. JNC took their time measuring and got back with me in two days. Their price was higher than the other company. I felt more comfortable with J&C Hardscapes. Carlos and his company did an excellent job installing the retaining wall. Once the wall was completed, it was perfectly constructed. One of their employees took pictures of his work because he was proud of it, To me that says it all. I would highly recommend J&C Hardscapes to anyone interested."

FAQs for retaining wall installation projects in Hickory, NC

A well-built retaining wall can absolutely boost home value. By carving out level space, preventing erosion, and giving your yard a clean, layered look, you raise both curb appeal and usable square footage. Home appraisers estimate a 100% to 200% return on the money you spend on building a retaining wall, especially when you choose durable materials and a design that complements the house.

Material and craftsmanship dictate how long a retaining wall lasts. Expect five to 20 years from wood, 20 to 100 from metal, 50 to 100 from concrete, and up to 200 from stone. Choose quality materials, hire an experienced installer, and schedule routine maintenance, and you’ll squeeze the maximum life out of any wall.

Yes, retaining walls require a drainage system. Without proper drainage, water builds up behind the wall and can push it forward or crack the blocks. Most pros add gravel trenches, perforated pipes, and weep holes to move rainwater and groundwater away. This simple step relieves pressure, protects the foundation, and keeps the surrounding soil in place.

Most retaining walls go up in one to three weeks. Crews start by prepping and grading the site, then pour or set footings, stack the blocks, and finish with backfill and clean-up. Bad weather, complicated terrain, or permit holdups can stretch the schedule, but an experienced contractor will build slack into the timeline and keep you informed.
