"The men that did the work related to the prepping the yard for the retaining wall, placing the rock and pavers for the walkway did a very good job and it really looked nice. I've worked in construction and building maintenance for over 50 years, so I know what's good workmanship and what's poor. The worker who did the framing for the new sidewalk, steps and porch was poor workmanship. Nothing was level or straight and I had to have the other crew correct the forms before concrete was poured. The guys that finished the concrete did an excellent job. Never let D&D workers connect the lawn sprinkler piping to your house water piping. They seem to be handymen, not real plumbers. Beside not installing necessary valves and fittings to winterizing the sprinkler system, all the copper pipe was installed crooked, under stress and not supported correctly. Overall, half the crew did very good work, the other half needs training."

"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."

"Henry and team completely renovated our backyard. They installed a retaining wall, concrete patio, rock, sod and a portion of fence with a gate . They also trimmed up the trees and planted new perennials. Henry was very communicative throughout the process and we absolutely loved his designs and ideas. His team was very hardworking and fast without compromising quality. We even had a couple of neighbors comment on what a great job they were doing. We couldn't be happier with our new backyard. It's gorgeous!"

"Tony and his crew are a pleasure to work with and highly talented. In one day they installed a top quality 50' x 4' curved walkway with a 6' x 9' extension area in a very efficient manner. Due to the expansive clay in the soil, they used re-bar, not wire. Their prep work was excellent and they finished just as nicely. They removed the existing concrete stoop, fence/gate, flagstone and moss rock, neatly stacking the usable flagstone and moss rock for other places in my garden and carefully removing the fencing/gate material for re-use in another location. They also came up with a very good solution to a tricky issue involving the foundation of my home. The broom finish was as close to perfection as humanly possible and the joints were created with the precision of a surgeon. The results are outstanding and far exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for quality, value, respect, promptness and service second to none, contact Tony at TGA."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.  

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.

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.
