Listen "E83: Retaining Walls That Last Generations: Beyond the Garden with Rolling Hills Landscapes"
Episode Synopsis
What makes Amanda Linder with Rolling Hills Landscapes a good neighbor? Quality matters- especially when it comes to the backbone of your outdoor space. Amanda Linder of Rolling Hills Landscapes joins us to reveal why all retaining walls are not created equal and how proper construction techniques make the difference between a hardscape that fails within months versus one that lasts generations.Amanda's journey from public school teacher to landscape construction expert offers a fresh perspective on an industry often plagued by misconceptions. She and her husband John have built Rolling Hills Landscapes on a foundation of education and transparency. As Amanda explains, "John doesn't just build, he also teaches other contractors how to build the right way." This expertise translates directly to their projects, where they follow strict guidelines established by the Concrete, Masonry and Hardscape Association- standards many homeowners don't realize exist.What truly distinguishes Rolling Hills is their commitment to treating each project as if it were their own home. They implement time-lapse cameras on job sites, giving clients unprecedented transparency into the construction process. This approach attracts homeowners who are "in it for the long haul," not those seeking quick fixes or "paver emergencies." Their philosophy runs counter to common industry practices where corners are cut beneath the surface. As Amanda thoughtfully notes, "John's goal is for his projects to outlast him"- perhaps the most powerful testament to their work ethic and craftsmanship.Ready to build an outdoor space that stands the test of time?
