"Extremely pleased with how helpful and easy this group was to work with. I’m active duty and stationed outside of the state, but this crew was on point in getting my grandfathers walkway installed. They were very quick to get someone out to quote the job and work is into their schedule. It looks great! I am very happy I could trust a company to do quality work and not have to be present to provide oversight. Huge stress relief! Highly recommend this group!"

"Mark and his team did a fantastic job! He was a great communicator, the team was timely and professional and our vision came to life beautifully. Brady Landscaping helped me design the yard and we added gravel paths, flagstone walkways, installed stone stairs, plant/mulch and finished it off with a natural fire pit area. He also regraded part of our yard to prevent flooding. Mark worked within our budget and the entire experience was fairly seamless."
Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts
Regular inspection for issues like cracks or leaning and ensuring drainage stays clear.
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.
Costs depend on material type, labor rates, and additional features like decorative finishes or reinforcement.
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.
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.
