Default retaining wall replacement

Just asking if anyone has had to have someone install a retaining wall. The one in my back yard is seriously leaning and I have to get it replaced sooner than next year.

Not sure who to go with or if it is something that I could tackle on my own even.

Right now, the first place I'd start is the BBB. Retaining walls are tricky and if you don't get that base row right, you're back in the same place next year.

I recommend the checking the BBB for a landscaping company because there seem to be a lot of guys out there with time on their hands looking for cash jobs.

I’m always amazed these sportscasters and announcers can call the game with McDavid’s **** in their mouths all the time.

I'd go with a reputable company, check reviews on Homestars, google, etc. I wouldn't rely too much on the BBB as it is can be gamed & paid for, but you can use it as another source of evidence amongst others looking for any red flags.

Avoid the temptation to go with a random Kijiji company - because the price will be attractive but you'll pay more in the end when it isn't done right.

BBB is a tired school of reputation thugs who are paid off for accreditation. Actually, sounds like Google my Business, Google AdWords.
