*bump*

I am looking to have a decorative raised retaining wall/planter done along my back yard, so I can add some elevation to my flat, square yard. I have never done much landscaping myself, so I thought I might hire someone. Any recommendations? Looking to do about 20" inch or so high, and maybe 45-50 feet long by 4-5 feet wide.

I have a gutter running along the back of my property against the fence, so I want it to come up to the gutter, so it hides it... Basically a raised brick/rock planter the length of my yard!

Any suggestions on affordable places that do a good job on stuff like this, or alternatively some good reading on how I may do this myself? But without a truck or wheelbarrow and very little for landscaping tools, I am thinking the cost of getting the stuff to do it myself will make hiring someone look more appealing
