I have a short retaining wall in front of my house. It is concrete, about three feet high. On top of that is a row of bushes. The concrete is cracking and falling apart every year, and the bushes are old and scraggly. I would like to fix this, but I don't know who does this kind of work.
Should I call a landscaping place? Should I call a regular contractor? How do I fix this problem. I don't want to do it myself.
