"I highly recommend Armando and his team! Heâ s come out to do a variety of projects at our home (building a retaining wall, installing a flagstone patio, updating barriers for mature trees and building up the grading from our home following foundation repairs). Each time, he provides a thorough estimate, clearly communicates timelines and has provided high quality work. We are very pleased with our experiences working with Armando!"

"The fence and block wall were installed as agreed in a very professional and efficient manner. The hard scape wall has a new concrete footer that will eliminate the wall from moving. We are very happy with Peppers Landesigns work and will call them again for any future landscape needs."

"Rich Che and the CNS Empire Landscape crew did fabulous improvements on our family home in Wheat Ridge. They corrected drainage on three sides of an addition so water flows away from the house instead of into the crawlspace; replaced 30 feet of exit pipe from the perimeter drain around the foundation of the addition; installed new sod; and removed weeds from landscaped rock areas in the front yard. The improvements look great. Shortly afterwards, I engaged an inspector to check the foundation. The inspector said he visits about 400 houses each year, and this drainage remediation is among the best he’s seen."

"Short version. Awesome design, met all of my requirements. Blown away by speed and quality of the landscaping work which I asked them to continue on and do. No reservations about recommending them every single time. Fernando and his team were just fantastic. Long version: Landscaping contractors are hard to read. There are so many of them, and some can talk a good game and then take 3 months because it's actually just two guys in a truck. So I was nervous until the first day when I think eight people, in safety vests showed up and began the project. I was having a full landscaping removal and replacement. Day one, the fence was out, and the new one was halfway up. Over a very short period of time, back yard slope was reduced and an excellent retaining wall installed. New French drains, new cement path from front driveway all the way to deck in backyard. Sprinklers, rocks, grass, bushes, sod, all came in waves. They used good equipment, took great care to not damage neighbor lawns, etc. On the design, I'd asked for something a little more modern, not xeriscaped, but less wasteful, and they delivered. I paid the extra for the 3D rendering which was awesome. It made it very easy to see what I was going to get. They were open to questions and suggestions, sent me the options on stuff like outside lighting and stain colors when appropriate, so again, no surprises. The worst thing I can say about the entire project was somebody forgot to toss a bottle in the trash one day. That's it. No damage, no surprises, no disappearances, none of the nightmares I've had with other landscaping projects in previous places. This was a dream. The idea of spending this much money (since it was a total redo) was very stressful, but seeing it come together so quickly and so nicely really helped a bunch. Final thought, Comcast probably didn't bury your cable deep enough, and even though it's located correctly, it will probably get ripped out. It took Comcast 3 weeks to fix it. That was not awesome and isn't Colorado Sunshine's fault. Be prepared."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Most railroad tie retaining walls have a life span of 20 to 30 years, though you may need to replace your wall sooner if it’s repeatedly exposed to heavy rain, runoff, and excess moisture. Railroad ties are typically treated with creosote, which makes them much more durable than untreated wood. Though they last longer, they don’t last forever. For the most longevity, make sure your retaining wall has a sturdy base and steel reinforcements. You should also install drainage to direct water away from the wall.

Most retaining wall installations can be finished in one to three weeks, but the timeline varies based on factors like wall size and material. The local climate and major weather events, such as storms or flooding, can also extend the project's timeline, as can any holds ups in the permitting process.

Generally, a railroad tie retaining wall consisting of a single line of ties should be between 3 and 4 feet tall—and the height often tops out at around 6 feet. You can go taller, but you may need additional footings and reinforcements, including a second layer of railroad ties to support the added weight of the soil it’s holding back.

Costs depend on material type, labor rates, and additional features like decorative finishes or reinforcement.

Poured concrete is often the cheapest material for a retaining wall, costing around $6 to $8 per square foot. Other budget-friendly options include vinyl and landscaping timbers, which range from $10 to $15 per square foot; landscaping timbers are particularly well-suited for DIY projects. Untreated timber and railroad ties are a step up in price, starting at $15 to $25 per square foot. Natural stones can also be a cost-effective choice if you can source them from your own property, but they can be expensive to purchase. High-end materials like steel are typically the most expensive but offer superior durability and aesthetics.
