Agape Retaining Walls extended a portion of an existing retaining wall. They did a superb job of matching the color, modifying the landscape and adding a set of steps. Many neighbors walking our neighborhood have stoped to ask who installed our wall. In fact, I left the Agape project sign posted in our yard for months after the porject was complete so that folks could have the contact infomation for Agape.



Nice Job - Sean, Gregg and Doug - thanks!

Since I recently retired I asked Sean with Agape Retaining Wall if he would be willing to work with me in holding down the cost of my project. He agreed to provide all the materials and help get me started building. His crew was unbelievable!! They took the time and effort to show me how the wall needed to be constructed. They made recommendations that improved the finished product. They were great to work with. After getting me started I was able to finish the rest of the project myself. This allowed me to stay within budget and at the same time get the quality stones I was wanting for the project. Materials were estimated accurately and the cost was very good. His crew was very helpful in staging all the supplies carefully and there was very little yard work needed get the lawn make in shape. Placement of the material was also close and convenient for the work I had to do. Without a doubt this is the best retaining wall company in the St Louis area!

I needed to replace two large railroad tie walls in my backyard that were rotting and collapsing. When I needed to find a retaining wall contractor I was apprehensive because I did not know any and looking through the yellow pages or newspaper ads feels like a gamble. So I went to one of the big retaining wall material suppliers and asked them for a list of their best contractors. Agape was their first recommendation and gave a good reference. I thoroughly reviewed Agape's web site which is a fantastic source for ideas and examples of the quality work they do. I got bids from Agape and two other contractors. Agape's bid was very competitive and fair. Sean from Agape spent a lot of time reviewing and discussing the project with us. We knew exactly what they were going to do and that our yard would be a contruction zone during the project. The project was started when they said and turned out better than we imagined. The only problem we encountered was the weather, which caused some delays during the project when there were big rain storms. The two walls turned out to be works of art and our backyard looks like a scene from a landscaping magazine, it so beautiful. These walls will last longer than the house and are just beautiful looking and well constructed. What was interesting about Agape is they made some minor changes that improved the project after it was started. They always discussed them with us first. They did not change their price or schedule like some contractors do if you make a change. They take as much pride and ownership in the project as I would if I were doing it myself. They do everything legal according to county codes and get permits and lien waivers for everything. I have recommended them to several people I work with and neighbors. I would use them in the future and trust them. Now finding a retaining wall contractor is not a gamble.

I chose Agape to build two retaining walls. The wall in the front of my home was small and straightforward; Sean and his crew did a great job and also ensured my lawn wasn't destroyed in the process.



The wall in the back of my home was a bit more complex, requiring Agape to remove several large boulders which touched the foundation of my home. I'm sure most contractors would have come in with heavy equipment and knocked these out in a couple hours, but Sean chose the safer route, spending almost two full days removing them with an air hammer. I believe he went above and beyond and handled this as if it were his own home; and because he did there was no damage at all to my foundation. Sean also made several good recommendations that greatly improved the overall end product...and all his recommendations were at no additional cost. The Agape crew was very professional, hard working, and definitely understood their trade. Both walls look great and definitely professionaly built.



I did a lot of homework before choosing Agape to do my job. In the end, I chose them based on their past performance record, outstanding warranty, and commitment to Christ. They weren't the cheapest bid I received, but they were definitely the best value in terms of past performance, price, and quality. I'm confident I made the right choice and would recommend them to anyone.

Agape did a wonderful job of taking a basic sketch and idea and handling everything from the permit application to the detailed layout, and implementation of the design. They offerred a tremendous amount of contstructive advice during the planning stage of the project, which involved 2 retaining walls aproximately 40 ft long and 5 ft high to achieve level plateaus in our previous steep sloped yard. They worked very efficiently, and despite uncooperative weather, finished the job in a very short time period. They really went the extra mile to expand the job somewhat at no cost to achieve the quality finished results. Their price was very competitive, and I doubt that many other contractors would have made any of the small changes required along the way to achieve the best results without requesting additional money. We would hightly recommend Agape to all of our friends.

Agape's entire staff and crew were exceptional, professional and a pleasure to do business with. Timelines were kept and even ahead of schedule. Their professional imput helped out allot along the planning phase. There weren't any 'hidden costs' along the way (as we had with other previous experiences with other contractors) as our quote was complete and thorough. The crew did a project for the front of our home and the outcome was exactly what we wanted. And they were able to do the job wihtout damaging the rest of the lawn. Check out their website! We had a small project but they have proved big or small they do great work!

After our wall was done so well, we recommended Agape to all our neighbors and we have lost count on how many projects they have done on our street. Our walls were done 5 years ago and we have not had a single issue come up. They stand behind their work without question.



The job was completely redoing our massive retaining walls (3 tiers across our entire back of the house from one edge of the property to the other), adding complex curves and design elements while taking care of our 100 year+ old trees. Throughout the entire process they were helpful and responsive to adjustments in the design and actually solved several issues that the original design did not anticipate.



We highly recommend them!!!

It's all in the details. I am a repeat customer. Agape did an excellant job with my first project so I didn't hesitate to call them back. Again I am very satified with their work. They are one of the few contractors that will do what is right, not what is easiest. You can confidently ask their opinion as to the design and they will give their opinion based on what would be the best way or most appealing design without feeling that you are getting "sold to". As I said, the detail orientation of their work is the most impressive aspect of their company, I have no doubt that I will NEVER have a problem with my walls and patio.Thanks to Sean and Greg!!!

I can't see enough good things about Agape Retaining Walls. We hired them to replace our existing retaining wall - a two tiered wall made of rail road ties that spanned the entire width of our yard. Needless to say, it was a big project, but Agape's crew worked tirelessly to deliver a fantastic end result. It was a very rainy March in St. Louis, but they didn't let the weather slow them down much. The crew battled the flood and worked in the cold, in the rain, in the snow and even on Saturday's to stay ahead of the weather!!! You can feel good about choosing Agape.

Agape is a great name for the company. The work they did shows love for their job. Hard workers and efficeint. Thank you! Will call again and recommend to others.

Agape Retaining Walls, Inc does an extremely good job in fitting the retaining wall to the contour of the land. Their price is right and the finished wall is beautiful.
