We have a sloped yard and on one side of our patio we built up the dirt to make it even with the patio and we built "a retaning wall" out of leftover concrete blocks late last summer.
Well needless to say, the concrete blocks have mostly tumbled and the huge level mound of dirt has begun sinking. Its a relatively small job but given the slope of our yard, we don't think we have the ability to build a small railroad tie wall that would really work as a permanent solution.
Since the job is so small, who would agree to do it? I see Tico's around all the time, but I don't have their number and I figure they may not want to bother with a simple job like this.
Any ideas? |

Try Rich at Honey-do (although I don't know if he does outdoor work) |

Thanks for the referrals. I think I've heard of Carmines but I haven't heard of "Honey Do" before. I hope they do small jobs because quite often, large companies SAY they do little jobs but then they try to charge you and arm and a leg because "a little job like that isn't worth it to them".
I keep check for more posts so I can get a few more ideas and opinions. Thanks! |
