"We met Christian at the HVCC garden show and his pond & waterfall displays, and enthusiasm, caught our attention. When he came to our yard for an appraisal he immediately had an eye for exactly the best location for a waterfall feature along our garden fencescaping. His recommendations sounded intriguing so we trusted his vision. When Christian showed up for the job he had all the building materials he needed, as well as boulders, rocks and stones of all sizes organized by size in pails. He outlined his plans and convinced me to allow the waterfall feature to take a little more space than I originally had in mind. I'm so glad he did....if anything, in retrospect, I wish I had agreed to make it even bigger! I needed to dig out and relocate a whole section of our garden perennials in preparation for the project, but it was worth all the effort. Oh my gosh, what amazing work Christian does! In two days (!) he transformed this huge dug out crater of dirt into a natural looking landscape of banked boulders, tiered waterfalls, and little wells of water among "spilling" rocks and stones. He left pockets of dirt for us to personalize with plants and flowers and even finished the details with driftwood and moss he had foraged from woods and riverbanks. Each of the three waterfalls are uplighted which makes for a mystical look at night. It seems the happier we were with the ongoing results the more ideas he came up with to please us. I start and end each day with a cup of coffee by our waterscape, relaxing with the sounds of a running mountain stream. We are beyond thrilled with the results! Christian is professional, hard working, and responsive to your questions and concerns, and is only a phone call away when you need a little advice about maintenance. In a time of questionable commitment from contractors it has been a pleasure to have one who lives up to your trust in every possible way. Artists use their favorite medium to create art.....paint, marble, wood, fabric. Christian creates art from dirt and stone and his vision transforms into a masterpiece. Thank you, Christian. You are an amazing artist."

You can expect a concrete block wall to last 50 to 100 years—or even longer—when it’s built with quality blocks, proper rebar, and a pro installer. Longevity still depends on you keeping the wall clean, sealing it against moisture, and tackling small repairs early. Local climate and soil conditions also play a role, so check for cracks after heavy storms. With routine care, your wall should stay solid for decades.
Look for leaning, bowing, widening cracks, or loose mortar joints—those signs mean your wall could use extra muscle. If you spot any of them, call a structural engineer or masonry contractor. The professional will assess the damage and, if necessary, add rebar, grout, or new footings to shore things up. Acting quickly keeps small issues from turning into costly repairs.
The price to repair a retaining wall depends on the extent of the damage. Patching hairline cracks costs far less than rebuilding sections that have shifted or collapsed. Your material choice and local labor rates matter too—brick repairs run higher than concrete block fixes. Hire a retaining-wall professional to assess the problem and recommend the most effective repair plan before costs escalate.
