Installing a Landscape Retaining Wall

Installing a landscape retaining wall can not only help you transform your sloped yard into a well-structured, beautiful exterior, but it can also solve common drainage and erosion problems. Our retaining wall installation services are most frequently requested for the following reasons:

A Sloped Yard Needs a Landscaping Makeover

Do you have a sloped yard that has never been properly landscaped because of the awkward pitch? It is very common for homeowners and commercial property managers to feel overwhelmed and unsure about how to design an exterior landscape when varying elevations are involved. Luckily, this is our forte! We are experts at utilizing a combination of beautifully built brick or natural stone retaining walls and plant beds to transform a boring yard into a stunning masterpiece.

Steep Elevations Are Causing Soil Erosion & Drainage Issues

When yards are elevated, gravity pulls water downward resulting in a loss of water and soil nutrients for plants and trees on higher ground. As a result, property owners may find that plants in a higher elevation die off and standing water at the base of the yard becomes a problem. Fortunately, our retaining wall and drainage systems resolve these issues for good. A retaining wall will reduce natural erosion and give your exterior a charming design.

An Existing Retaining Wall is Deteriorating or Out of Style

Retaining walls in older homes and commercial properties can become dated or decrepit over the years. If you’re looking for a retaining wall makeover to freshen up your exterior and ensure safety on your property, we’re here to help. We’ll work closely with you to design the perfect replacement that fits with the style of your home or building.

While a classic retaining wall can be a lovely addition to any property, we love to take the entire design one step further with the addition of plant beds in between or surrounding the retention structure. By incorporating live plants, shrubs, flowers and mulch, we’re able to add color, dimension and interest to your overall landscaping look.

In addition to incorporating live plants, we can also design your retaining wall with natural outcropping stone to give it a more rustic, organic feel.

Whether your style is more sleek and modern, traditional or rustic, we have a retaining wall solution that will reflect your taste and coordinate with your home’s architectural design.

Our yard had retained some damage from recent repair projects and was in need of grading and sodding. Additionally we had a failing retaining wall in need of a rebuild along with removal of some old flagstone borders. The courteous and professional staff had the work done in a day and on budget! They also explained to me that my retaining wall was failing due to improper drainage. In the course of rebuilding the wall they added a drain feature. I would hire them again myself as well as recommend them to anyone.

Mike from Ross and Jacks Landscaping exceeded expectations with the quality of work I expected form a drainage system and a retaining wall. Even when the problem was not 100% alleviated Mike made sure to troubleshoot and go above and beyond till the problem was fixed! Always kept me up to date with the status of the projects and offered me his expert opinion when choices had to be made (he's always pretty much right, just listen to him). Will only use Mike from Ross and Jacks from now on for my future outdoor projects! Thanks Mike and staff!!! Pictures do not do the work justice, have already had multiple neighbors and village inspector compliment the quality of work and material.

We used Ross and Jack's this summer to install a dry well, build a retaining wall, grade the yard and lay down new sod and mulch. Michael and his crew were wonderdul to work with every step of the way! I only have positive things to say and look forward to them helping with a few more landscaping measures next spring.

Michele H. Elmhurst

We have used Ross & Jack's since we moved to our home 5 years ago. We have used them to resod our lawn, build a retaining wall and plant a row of privacy trees. The work Michael and his team do has always impressed me as well as the quality of the materials used. We plan to do other projects with them in the near future. I highly recommend Ross and Jack's.

Mark K. Hinsdale

Excellent work in landscaping and upgrading our outdoor drainage system; and very good at dealing with the village permitting process.

Cindy H. La Grange

Ross and Jack's did an excellent job on my drainage and dry well. They were professional, priced right, clean, and timely. Michael helped with the permitting and consulted me throughout the process to make sure everything was done according to my desires. I would definitely use them again and recommend them.
