Payne Landscaping

It went as well as we could have expected. Jared and Chris came every day and worked this job until complete. Our wall will now provide a level surface for our concrete deck behind our garage. Beyond the wall there is a slope of about 35 degrees, and our wall will reduce the erosion a great deal. Payne Landscape did a great job.

The job went as near to perfect as we could imagine. They had given us a two-week time to complete the job, and even though there was one day that snow prevented work, they still managed to keep within the two-week estimate, mostly because they were on the job every day, and stayed at the job until it was completed. I can't imagine finding another landscape company that could or would have done a better job. I would recommend them 100% for this type of work.

Jared and Chris came out as agreed, on time, and began by digging into the bank and creating a level foundation for our wall. Then they dug a drainage canal, filled it with screening material used for french drains, put in a drain over the bluff, and filled with small rocks to be used for the drainage, and bringing the floor back to level. They then began the rock wall by laying a layer of block, filling with more rocks, leveling, adding a mesh support engineered to add substantial stability to the wall. They did this up to the top (about 7 feet high and 30 feet wide) and placed the cap stones. With each layer of the mesh and block, they used a compactor to hold the mesh in place and add more stability to the wall. I can't imagine having anyone doing a better job. This is the type of system that many road and bridge departments use for retaining walls on the sides of roads and highways. I am sure that this wall will be here long after we and the next generation or two have gone. We appreciate their work and would recommend them without reservation to anyone needing retaining wall work.
