"complete redo of entire yard. front back sides, tons of pavers and turf with grand pergola and fire pit. Got lots of good advice and suggestions from Lifetime, used almost all of them. Paver contractor was very skilled, very impressive, solving problems that came along - somethings are unknown until demolished or dug up. Everything turned out great, neighbors commenting as well. Pergola guys also were very professional and skilled. Final product in daylight or night is just beautiful. No delays, no issues. Id do it again in a heartbeat."

"I went through half a dozen of landscaping contractors before selecting Taveraâ s Custom Landscaping for my new house in Lake Forest, California. (1) Beside his reasonable and competitive quote, (2) Mr. Tavera listened, stayed focused and provided design ideas/suggestions relevant to what my needs and wants rather than off-the-wall expensive fancy designs that other contractors usually pitch. (3) He kept the job good progress throughout the project, his people showed up to work every day.

(5) I will hire him again for my future projects and happy to recommend him to my friends"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Each design is different, so we can’t say definitively if you’ll need a dedicated drainage system in place for a two-foot retaining wall. However, you can likely skip the drainage, as this project is typically served for walls that are 4 feet tall or more. Even with a relatively low wall, consider drainage if you are building on top of clay or poor-draining soil types or if there are buried water sources nearby, like a well used for other outdoor garden projects.

Vinyl retaining walls are often the least expensive type of retaining wall, at $10 to $15 per square foot. This budget-friendly material is lightweight and durable, but it doesn’t have many decorative options. Untreated timber and railroad ties are the next step up, and start at $15 to $25 per square foot, respectively. High-end steel or natural stone tend to be the least wallet-friendly, but they’re extremely durable and come with a high-end look.

Sand and gravel are two suitable options for filling behind a retaining wall. If you’re building your own retaining wall, you’ll complete this part of the process—known as backfilling—after you finish laying the blocks. Make sure not to skip it—otherwise, you could wind up with drainage issues, which can cause your retaining wall to collapse.

Poured concrete is likely the cheapest way to build a retaining wall, as this material costs anywhere from $6 to $8 per square foot. The next best budget-friendly option is to use landscaping timbers. These timbers are great for DIY projects, as they don’t require tools to successfully build a retaining wall. Landscape timber costs around $10 to $14 per square foot. Depending on your chosen garden style, you can also go with natural stones or concrete blocks. Natural stones can be expensive if you buy them, but they’re a lot less costly if you can source them from your property. 

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.
