"Alex with Diaz Fencing was very punctual and easy to work and communicate with. He came out for the consultation and knew exactly what would be best for our yard. We had been trying to figure out how to do the project ourself for a year since buying our home, but we had a pretty steep decline in the back of our property that would cause the fence to be un level if not fixed properly. Alex suggested doing a retaining wall, and did so in a very cost effective yet still safe and great looking way. He even added solar lights to the decorative steps he created as a bonus without mentioning it. We also asked him to remove an old section of fence and build a decorative gate which he did at no extra cost and made look great. Diaz Fencing also got the work done fast! They completed our retaining wall in a day, and then completed the entire fence project the next. I 100% recommend Diaz Fencing for your fencing project, and am looking to hire them again for more projects to come!"

"I recently hired Leo’s team (M&L) for a comprehensive landscaping project at my home, which included replacing three walkways with new stone material and improving the garden bed. I couldn't be happier with the results. From the very beginning, the team demonstrated a high level of professionalism. They arrived early every morning at 7:30 AM and worked diligently until late in the day. Their dedication to the project was evident in their punctuality and work ethic. One of the most impressive aspects of their work was their adherence to procedures. They followed every step meticulously, ensuring that no detail was overlooked, even those that were not visible on the surface. This attention to detail assured me that the project was not just about appearances but about long-term quality and durability. In addition to their excellent workmanship, Leo’s team proved to be very honest and transparent throughout the entire process. Their quote was reasonable and more competitive than those of other contractors I consulted. This combination of honesty, fair pricing, and exceptional quality made them the clear choice for my project. The transformation of both my backyard and front yard is remarkable. The new stone walkways are beautifully installed and seamlessly blend with the existing landscape. The improved garden bed has brought new life and vibrancy to my yard. Some of my neighbors have stopped at my yard to compliment the beautiful changes, often remarking on how good my yard looks now. Overall, Leo’s team exceeded my expectations in every way. Their commitment to quality, professionalism, and customer satisfaction is unparalleled. I highly recommend them for any landscaping needs. They truly turned my yard into a stunning, refreshed space."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Sand and gravel are two suitable options for filling behind a retaining wall. If you’re building your own retaining wall, you’ll complete this part of the process—known as backfilling—after you finish laying the blocks. Make sure not to skip it—otherwise, you could wind up with drainage issues, which can cause your retaining wall to collapse.

Through proper drainage solutions and compacting the foundation soil.

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.

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.

Generally speaking, a retaining wall should be between 3 and 4 feet high, depending on variables such as the wall-building material, the purpose of the retaining wall, and more. If you want your retaining wall to be taller than 4 feet, check with your local building ordinance office for the maximum allotment. You may also need a special permit for retaining walls over 4 feet tall.
