Frequently asked questions


Patios, Retaining Walls, Outdoor Living

  • What does a typical patio or retaining wall cost in Northeast Ohio?

    In Northeast Ohio, most paver patios range from $5,000 to $20,000+ depending on size, materials, excavation needs, and drainage requirements. Retaining walls typically range from $4,000 to $25,000+ depending on height, length, and engineering needs.


    At MY Services LLC, we price projects based on:


    • Square footage

    • Access to your yard

    • Base preparation requirements

    • Drainage corrections

    • Material selection


    We provide a detailed estimate so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

  • How long does it take to install a patio or retaining wall?

    Most patios take 3 to 7 days once we begin construction.

    Retaining walls typically take 3 to 10 days depending on size and complexity.


    Weather, access, and inspection timelines can affect the schedule, but we give you a realistic timeline upfront and stick to it.

  • What materials do you recommend for Ohio’s freeze–thaw cycles?

    Freeze–thaw cycles are the biggest factor in Northeast Ohio.


    We recommend:


    • High quality concrete pavers over poured concrete

    • Segmental retaining wall block with proper base and drainage

    • Natural stone when properly installed with a reinforced base


    Poured concrete tends to crack over time in our climate. Properly installed pavers allow flexibility and long term durability.


    The key is not just the material. It is the base preparation underneath.

  • Do I need permits or HOA approval?

    Some cities require permits for retaining walls over a certain height or for structural work.


    We help you determine:


    • If a permit is required

    • If drawings or engineering are needed

    • What your HOA may require


    We handle the process so you are not guessing.

  • How do you handle drainage?

    Drainage is not optional. It is critical.


    Every patio and wall we build includes:


    • Proper base grading

    • Compacted aggregate base

    • Slope away from the house

    • Drain tile behind retaining walls

    • Downspout tie-ins when needed


    Water should move away from your foundation, not toward it.

  • Can you replace an old concrete slab with pavers?

    Yes. We remove the old slab, regrade, rebuild the base, and install a new paver system.


    This is one of the most common upgrades we do in Northeast Ohio.

  • How long should a retaining wall last?

    A properly built retaining wall with drainage and compacted base should last 25+ years.


    Most failures happen because:


    • No drainage behind the wall

    • Poor base compaction

    • Cheap block

    • No reinforcement


    We build them correctly from the ground up.
