"TJ Irrigation was an excellent choice. The crew was professional at all times. They were quick, on time, and worked hard. They moved 10 sprinkler heads in a little more than 9 hours. The job was charged to time and materials and that was the right way to go. Saved me money."

"Contacted Absolute Appeal to get quote on replacing a 9-year old flagstone patio that was in bad shape and find/fix a leak along one side. Within a couple of days Sonny Lobato (firm owner) visited our home, reviewed what we wanted done and provided a quote for the work the same day. Sonny took a lot of time to in providing information on options for the project and assisting us in selecting the pavers. Once a decision was made the work began in just over one week and was completed (including debris removal and clean-up) in less than a week. The materials had to be moved by wheelbarrow across our front and back yard and Sonny protected the lawn by placing wood planks where the wheelbarrow had to cross the grass. Sonny was on site most of the time work was being done and he did all the skill work. We found Sonny to be very professional and easy to work with. In addition, he kept us informed about what work was to be done and when it was to be done. I would definitely recommend Absolute Appeal."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Small retaining walls still require a foundation of some kind, typically a concrete footing. This helps to ensure the wall is structurally sound and prevents the ground from shifting over time, especially during those winter freeze/thaw cycles. The footing helps spread the weight of the wall and the load it carries over a larger area of the ground, thus assisting with stability. This is true of small retaining walls, larger rock garden walls, and the like. 

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.

Through proper drainage solutions and compacting the foundation soil.

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.

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.
