Welcome to Hustle Construction where we pride ourselves on our customer service and professional work. In business since 1985 with years of experience. We Do not offer dumpster services, just discarding of items. We have a MINIMUM of $250 for all services. Give us a call today and we will be happy to give you a free estimate!

"I hired Hustle Construction to help clean up my mom and dad’s property that had years of rocks, bricks, railroad ties, cinderblocks, and other debris piled up. I put an RFP on Angi, and Chris from Hustle responded quickly with a really fair bid. He kept in touch, showed up when he said he would, and brought his crew who worked super hard. They knocked the job out of the park! Honestly, I think the cleanup was a bit bigger than they expected, but Chris stuck to his price, which I really appreciated. I even gave them a little extra tip because they worked like a bunch of oxen. All in all, I’m very happy with how everything turned out. I’d gladly hire Hustle Construction again and definitely recommend them to anyone who needs honest, hardworking folks to get the job done right."

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. 

Options include concrete, stone, brick, and wood, tailored for specific design needs.

Yes, including patterns, finishes, and plant integration for aesthetic enhancement.

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.

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.
