My family bought a home from K and L Homes in 2008. They had installed a retaining wall roughly 100 feet long and 6 feet high in the back yard. It was a concern we had going into the purchase of the home. We were told, I'll go as far as say assured, that the wall was built correctly. The next year, water started to run out the front of the wall. When asked what can be done about it, K and L said to "bottle the water and sell it." In 2020, the wall had leaned far enough that is was ready to fall over. After hiring a landscaping contractor to replace the wall, they found no gravel down the back of the wall for drainage and only one layer of geogrid used behind the wall, both of which lead to the wall failing so soon. Every landscaper and contractor I have talked to said that this was not built correctly. Even the manufacture of the block used in the wall said this was built incorrectly. Don't trust what K and L says. If they assure you of anything, have them put it in writing before purchasing anything from them. If they don't put it in writing, don't buy from them. I challenge K and L Homes to provide me one reputable landscaper to vouch that the wall was built correctly. I will be waiting for a response but suspect I will never receive one. Thank you. read more
