"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."

"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!"

"I highly recommend West Wall. All around great service, Brian and his crew were very approachable and patient with us during construction. They kept the worksite clean everyday! We love the final result. We met with 4 other contractors and are extremely happy we chose West Wall! Thank you very much to Brian and his team for transforming our yard and making our vision come to life."

"GREAT contractor! Jon and his crew did a really nice job on our projects. He made very good suggestions, he and Carmen were very communicative from the initial contact, they were prompt once the job started, did high quality work, left the site super clean, and were more than fair priced. Definitely will call them again for our outdoor living needs!! Thanks guys!"

"We found David and team to be professional and knowledgeable. We have a HOA, and he provided documentation that we needed. He waited patiently for HOA approval of the project and then put us in line for the project. David stayed in line with our budget and alerted us of issues. We love our backyard pavers and retaining wall!"

FAQs for retaining wall installation projects in Chapel Hill, 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.
