With 17 years experience building dream outdoor spaces, I know we can build your dream. We are a small enough company that we retain a personal touch with each customer throughout the design and creation process, yet we are large enough to develop grand-scale outdoor living areas. We can build a single planting bed to grow perennial flowers, or we can develop an area of five acres or greater involving numerous elements, phases and contractors. We believe it is important for an outdoor living area to feel like an extension of your home. Our mission is to build a landscape project that is architecturally relevant, relaxed and constructed to fit the natural setting of your property. We work to create the feeling that the inside of your home simply flows outside.

"Project: Newly constructed home on a pond. Homes have a total of 10 feet between each including mounted AC obstacles. Retaining wall, a lower Unilock patio, a high Trex deck off of elevated 3 season room complete with steps, railings and a locking gate. High deck and 3 season room were cladded with composite including two, six foot entry access doors. Stone steps on both sides leading into the backyard, Stone walkways, stone flower beds, plantings and front lawn prep/installation and front lighting. Rod and staff listened to our dreams and made them into a reality. Rod is a true planning partner, works by the book/codes and uses only quality materials. THIS COMPANY EXCEEDED ALL OF OUR EXPECTATIONS!!! NO NEED TO LOOK FURTHER. STOP RESEARCHING 100% ACROSS EVERY SINGLE ASPECT!!! Communication, design, pricing, craftsmanship, staff, structural integrity, safety, functionality, and proper installation of each element and more… We even made use of his 6 month zero interest payment plan."

"Kirk was great!! He listened to what my wife and I were saying and responded very well. We wanted old overgrown shrubs to be removed and replaced with shrubs that would not require much upkeep and trimming. He told us about evergreens that have various hues and sizes. He planted seven shrubs, there are three different hues and one shrub that will grow taller. Then put stone down as dressing for the bed. We could not be happier. A neighbor hired him to work on her landscape after she saw his work. Kirk and Rob were great!!!"

We have over 30 years of experience in this field, and we are dedicated to providing the best quality to our clients.

"He provided a nice design for plantings in the front of the house and did a reasonable installation, a bit late - rain did not help with scheduling. A big tree was removed in the back yard and stump ground by another contractor. Environmental was to remove some of the material and replace with topsoil. Did not happen. He was to prepare and reseed other sections of the back yard. He did not create a good condition for reseeding and the growth was not acceptable. After several e-mails, he did come back and put a small layer of top soil and reseeded. Better grass establishment, but not as good as should be if done properly. Another part of the project was to aerate and overseed the front lawn. This was never done. I made the mistake of paying up front based on the good reviews on Angie's. I ended up taking him to small claims court to get that portion of the money back. If you decides to go with Environmental, provide a detailed scope of work that you want done and it is on proposal."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

If you don’t backfill a retaining wall—either at all or adequately enough—the wall won’t drain well, and water will be able to pass through it. Poor drainage will lead to a warped wall or a buildup of hydrostatic pressure, which can eventually collapse your retaining wall. If you have particularly sloped land, consult a structural engineer to ensure your hardscaping is adding value to your home.

Most railroad tie retaining walls have a life span of 20 to 30 years, though you may need to replace your wall sooner if it’s repeatedly exposed to heavy rain, runoff, and excess moisture. Railroad ties are typically treated with creosote, which makes them much more durable than untreated wood. Though they last longer, they don’t last forever. For the most longevity, make sure your retaining wall has a sturdy base and steel reinforcements. You should also install drainage to direct water away from the wall.

Installation typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the wall’s size and site conditions.

Railroad ties can be good for retaining walls, but it depends on the area. They have a desirable rustic look and are durable. The problem is they’re treated with creosote, a preservative the EPA says poses a risk to humans and wildlife. Over time, the preservative seeps out of the wood and into the ground. Many areas have banned the use of creosote-treated wood on residential properties. If your area does allow it, never use railroad ties near an edible garden or drinking water source. Instead, use wood that’s treated with an EPA-approved preservative or a wood-alternative composite material.

Poured concrete is likely the cheapest way to build a retaining wall, as this material costs anywhere from $6 to $8 per square foot. The next best budget-friendly option is to use landscaping timbers. These timbers are great for DIY projects, as they don’t require tools to successfully build a retaining wall. Landscape timber costs around $10 to $14 per square foot. Depending on your chosen garden style, you can also go with natural stones or concrete blocks. Natural stones can be expensive if you buy them, but they’re a lot less costly if you can source them from your property.
