Get matched with top retaining wall installers in Howard Lake, MN

"We are very happy with our new retaining wall and concrete steps! Tom and his crew persevered through many challenges to fill a giant hole that was more serious than anyone had realized! They built a beautiful new retaining wall and poured concrete steps. They created an underground drainage system that will prevent future problems with water erosion. We had formerly worked with a different business to repair the hole but their efforts were not successful over time. We wish we had called Tom first. We have received numerous compliments from neighbors and people passing by on our new, improved front yard steps and wall. Even the mailman was impressed!"

"We originally had Twin City Landscapers install a brick retaining wall and small brick patio in our backyard. Two years later we used the same company to install another small patio in our front yard. Both times we found that Twin City Landscaper’s were easy to work with, fair, knowledgeable, and completed the work as promised. We would definitely hire them again should we need additional landscaping services."

"Donovan and team were professional, punctual, preformed grate work and a pleasure to deal with. We had a large 8ft decaying retaining wall in our alley with a 100 year old 60 ft tree bumping up to it. We were quite apprehensive to replace the wall due to the tree. Donovan and team came up with creative approach to replace the wall without disturbing the tree. I highly recommend king Scapes Kevin Korb"

"Had a small retaining wall installed and it was an all around great experience. No pushy sales or outrageous pricing. Dan was great to work with on the installation. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Clark Companies again on other landscaping projects."

"Artistic Landscapes Inc. was one of many companies we talked to and received quotes from about installing a boulder retaining wall in our backyard to replace aging railroad ties and decking. The backyard is sloped with very limited access to move materials and equipment, therefore many of the companies we spoke with responded with either limited options for landscape ideas or unaffordable prices. Chris came out, listened to our ideas, gave us some of his and told us exactly what we could expect; he quickly put a bid together and we were elated it fell within our budget. 



He and his crew not only worked around the limited access issues, but challenging weather including rain and wet conditions/clay soils. In addition to an approximate 60 foot long boulder retaining wall, they installed 33 paver stones for a pathway, steps as a feature area, additional large boulders for aesthetic enhancements and graded the area to address critical storm water runoff needs. The placement of each stone/boulder was clearly thought through, resulting in a unique and attractive wall versus many of the standard "one on top of the other" looks.



Toward the end there were a few minor tweaks we requested to which Chris and his crew were more than happy to accommodate until they knew we were completely satisfied. Clean up was fabulous too; our front yard damaged by major equipment during the process (which we knew was necessary) was fully restored as promised!



Chris was good to communicate with and very trustworthy in terms of what he committed to delivering. I would recommend Artistic Landscapes to anyone seeking quality work at a fair price, and by someone who knows what works and what doesn't. We absolutely love our new backyard...thanks Chris and Artistic Landscapes!

"Jessica and team did a great job on designing and installing landscaping for our entire yard in August 2020. The team was very professional: they were timely, listened to our input and completed the entire project on time and on budget. Would highly recommend this company and wouldn't hesitate to refer them to family, neighbors and friends. Kyle and Pam Rulau"

"If you are looking for paver patios, the installers are great. They did a very nice job, and were professional throughout. They would clean up every day before leaving, addressed any questions we had timely and we are very satisfied with the results. We also added a gazebo to our patio design. It was very clear that gazebo's are not one of their strengths. We encountered many issues with the design and build of the gazebo long before construction began. We had hired Josh in October to complete all elements of the landscaping project the following spring. Over the winter months, we had asked on many occasions for catalog photos, or anything that would confirm what the finished gazebo was going to look like. The pictures were never sent and the only indication of what it might look like came just a few days before the project began and was a very small (1x1) black and white picture. Our expectation of the gazebo was that the material used would be cedar. We had asked for glass windows that could be closed during the cooler and winter months. We were assured on many occasions that cedar material and glass windows were what we were going to get. As they were starting to build the gazebo, the material was not cedar, rather it was pressed wood. As the windows were installed, they were not glass (despite being told that very day they were glass), instead they were a plastic film over the screens. We were left in a very difficult position where we were essentially forced to concede on both elements. While the gazebo is functional, and will suit our needs, had Josh sent just ONE picture sometime in the 5 months or so prior the project start, we may have been able to make a different decision. Related, and something else to be aware of. When trying to reach Josh about start dates, etc I would say he was not always as responsive as I would have expected. Furthermore, there were multiple instances where what was promised was not delivered. Again, if you are looking at a paver or patio project - these guys are great and I would recommend their workmanship. However beware of anything more than that."

"I called several firms to get quotes on the repair and was surprised by the difference in prices quoted and in one case the scope of work to be performed. Most said that the cement crown and top 3-4 courses of brick would need replaced, one said the chimney would need to be taken down to the roof level which just didn't make sense as the damage was clearly only on the top. Joe was very prompt in scheduling a visit and by the time I met with him I'd already spoken with the other firms so I had a pretty good idea of the work that needed to be done. I liked the fact that he focused on what *needed* to be done rather than what was possible--I was getting these bids because I didn't know what needed to be done and wanted professional advice. Joe provided a clear scope of work and I was confident in his ability to do it properly. The fact that his bid was several hundred less than the others led me to believe that the others were charging more than necessary. Joe was good with communication about when the job would start (3-4 weeks out from my acceptance of his bid), and good with keeping me posted as they got closer to being ready to do the job. The crew showed up within the timeframe Joe said they would, and quickly set up their scaffolding and tarps on the roof around the chimney. After an afternoon's work they had the old materials removed down to the sound masonry and the new masonry and stone drip cap installed. The chimney was properly covered against the rain we got that night. The next morning the crew was back to put on the concrete crown and clean up including washing the chimney. The chimney was again covered as there was the possibility of rain. The following morning the crew was back to remove the covering, scaffolding and do a final cleaning. Each member of the crew was good natured and polite & it seemed to me that they had a good working relationship with each other. Nothing worse than having a bad feeling about the folks doing work for you and in this case there was none of that, these guys were pros and a pleasure to have working on our home. All of the work was just as Joe initially described it. They did end up taking off more brick than originally estimated, so the final cost was $150 over the bid. While I kept an eye on the progress, I didn't realize they'd done more than planned so was a little skeptical when Joe told that there would be an additional charge. Upon inspection I could clearly see what they'd done and I was happy to pay the small additional charge given that they did what was necessary to do a first class job. While I would normally expect to be notified in advance if the bid is to be exceeded, in this case the overage was modest and the work very good so I didn't have an issue with it. The final cost was still hundreds less than the next bid. Overall my wife and I were extremely pleased with Joe, his crew, and the work they did. We would have no hesitation recommending Metro Chimney and Masonry to any of our neighbors. Joe does great work at a fair price and provided a 3 year warranty on the work performed."
