"B & J Pools installed us an in-ground pool late last year. They do great work. I would recommend them to anyone. Stayed on the timeline they presented and completed the pool on time. We love our pool and kids have been in it everyday this summer. Highly recommend B&J pools."

"Very well. Antonio and his crew are skilled, efficient, and cooperative. I was very satisfied with their work and their attitude. There were a couple of options in reconstructing the wall, and the mason talked to me about each way and was willing to adjust his work to satisfy my requirements. All the pavers were not cut perfectly, but all were acceptable since they were fitting against fencing that will have to be redone.

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, answered by experts

Railroad ties can be good for retaining walls, but it depends on the area. They have a desirable rustic look and are durable. The problem is they’re treated with creosote, a preservative the EPA says poses a risk to humans and wildlife. Over time, the preservative seeps out of the wood and into the ground. Many areas have banned the use of creosote-treated wood on residential properties. If your area does allow it, never use railroad ties near an edible garden or drinking water source. Instead, use wood that’s treated with an EPA-approved preservative or a wood-alternative composite material.

Options include concrete, stone, brick, and wood, tailored for specific design needs.

Generally speaking, a retaining wall should be between 3 and 4 feet high, depending on variables such as the wall-building material, the purpose of the retaining wall, and more. If you want your retaining wall to be taller than 4 feet, check with your local building ordinance office for the maximum allotment. You may also need a special permit for retaining walls over 4 feet tall.

While vinyl is the least costly material for building a retaining wall, the most cost-effective method is to use wood or concrete blocks for a DIY retaining wall under 2 feet tall. Wood is inexpensive but lasts 20 years or more with care. Concrete can cost a little more but is stronger and will last longer with less maintenance.

Rebar is a steel support that goes inside concrete to prevent structural damage over time. Concrete is susceptible to impact, weight, and tension. By inserting rebar into the concrete during the installation, you can help extend its lifespan and avoid hazardous situations where the foundation of your home gives way to tensile forces.
