"Nic and crew have done it again. Delivering on a vision and backyard dream come true. He and his team created a true backyard retreat around our newly installed pool. They installed retaining walls, several sqft of Belgard pavers, accent lighting and took care of all the drainage needs around the back of our property. He installed a natural boulder firepit that tied our design in perfectly. He and team prepared the rest of the back of the property with final grading in preparation for sod installation. I have hired Nic several times in the past and will only have him and his team work on my property. I always have him as a recommendation to friends and neighbors after they see his work. But as I always say about Nic's work, its as much about what's above the ground that you say but as well as how he prepares the ground/property for the installation. His installs are assured to last for years which is really the big differentiator between OK landscapers and ones that you keep going back to and recommend."

"Mike and his crew did an amazing job transforming my yard into the yard of my dreams. I had originally contacted them to grind some stumps, but had long term plans to address the drainage issues in my yard. They helped me create a plan to install drainage, a retaining wall, lighting, and new plants in the back as well as beautiful dry rock river beds on the sides and in front. My yard is now the envy of the neighborhood!!"

"We had a great experience with Gardens of the Carolinas helping us redesign our front and backyard. We began working with the designer Diana in Feb 2020 to discuss our desires and get her feedback and designs. Gardens of the Carolinas was the only landscaping company that had a great, holistic long-term plan for our yard that reflected our priorities. By late Mar / early Apr, we chose a design and placed a deposit for our first phase of work. With Covid, a wet summer, and high demand, our project broke ground in mid-Nov, but it was worth the wait. Once here, the team was professional and did a great job. They set high bars for themselves and deliver. The work they did included: regrading the front yard, installing steps and a sidewalk, laying sod, adding 14 plants, removing a retaining wall in the backyard, grading the backyard, adding hammock posts, hauling away debris, and installing a drain in our side yard. I really appreciated how we would iterate through ideas each day to end up at the best result, and the team really looks after the best interest of the property owner. John made time to explain different options in detail, adjusted schedules as needed when our project scope expanded, and even covered the bill for a plumbing issue that arose. The best part is that we feel like our home doubled in size because we now have amazing, enjoyable outdoor spaces that used to make us cringe. We couldn't have spent our money better. Thanks for all the hard work and going the extra mile, team!"

"We love our backyard now! West Wall did an amazing job with our outdoor fireplace, pavers, and sitting area. They were well organized, professional and timely with their installation. We absolutely loved our design and the 3D rendering that Brian created for us prior to starting our project. I would defiantly use their services again!"

"Mr Cieri did an amazing job installing the sod. I would highly recommend Mr Cieri if you are in the market for this type of service. My neighbor's are already asking, who did your yard. Love it."

"Jon was a pleasure to work with from the start. He sent me a fair quote for the job within a couple days and told me when they could start work and how long it would take. We wanted two tiered retaining walls and it seemed like a pretty tough job. Jon and his crew worked around some tough weather conditions and still completed the job in the time he was hoping for. I will definitely recommend Jon to anyone in the future and we're already in contact for a second job"

"I contracted David to replace a 21 foot by 8 foot cinder block/brick veneer retaining wall that had collapsed after 60 years. David replaced it with segmented block at a lower cost than directly replacing with cinder block and brick. But the end results were a great improvement in wall appearance and overall home value. Extremely skillful and professional workmen. Best after job clean up I've ever experienced. My wife and I are totally satisfied and highly recommend 2D Pros. Jim T. in Raleigh"

FAQs for retaining wall installation projects in Cary, NC

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.
