"Joe and his crew did a great with our project. He worked with us on taking some cost out of the project to meet our budget and we're in and out in the timeframe they quoted. After the project, some of the sod they installed had dried out, we didn't have total coverage on the sprinklers. Joe worked with me to come out, install new sprinkler heads and replaced some sod all on warranty. Some contractors get there money and run, Joe was very responsive to the issues and worked diligently to fix the problem. I'd recommend them for your project and I'd use them again!"

"They came in a timely manner, were courteous, did great work, fixing a leak in a sprinkler pipe, where the location of the leak was not clear. Very reasonably priced. Came back for a follow up (not directly related to the original work), also very timely. They were recommended by Angi. I'm in Longmont. MSH will definitely be my first stop for the next time I need a Landscaper."

"Alex and his crew did a terrific job on our yard in Windsor. He extended our back patio (poured concrete), laid sod, rock and breeze, planted trees, and installed sprinklers and drip line. His crew works very quickly and had our entire yard done in just a few days. We would highly recommend his work and professionalism."

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.

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.

If you've decided you'd like to skip the cost of restoring a brick exterior wall after considering whether you should repair or replace brick on your house, you can consider installing fiber cement siding over brick for a cost of $2 to $6 per square foot. When done properly, cement siding over brick offers a durable, low-maintenance option that can actually reduce your home's energy costs. It's also attractive. However, improper installation or installation over heavily compromised brick can cause water damage. 

A retaining wall can only function as a fence if it’s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn’t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall.  

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.
