"Augusta’s Finest Hardscapes installed a retaining wall in my backyard. Will and his crew did an excellent job. They were very professional, polite, and friendly. He did exactly what he said he would do. I love the wall and will definitely use Will again."

"I needed a retaining wall replaced. Jim was attentive through the entire process. Jim communicated by email, text and phone, and never left me "wondering" or waiting. The wall came out beautiful, and strong. Oh- and I was out of town through the entire process, and Jim and his team did not disappoint - not even a little. I will contact Augusta Land Design first for my future landscaping projects."

"Purchased a home 7 months ago and the previous homeowners/home inspector did not disclose previous water issues in the crawl space. With the recent heavy rains our crawl space flooded and after speaking with several locals (as we are new to the area) Chris and his team were overwhelmingly recommended. Not only did Chris identify the previous issues, he gave us a solution! The crew was on the job early, were very professional, and did an amazing job. They left our crawlspace clean and finished the job just in time. Within 2 days we had heavy rain again and with the system installed our crawlspace was dry! Thank you guys and we truly appreciate your hard work! We highly recommend Riggins Moisture Control!"

"The guys at C&A took on a colossal project that it seemed no one else wanted to do. They worked through the harshest elements in February to complete the task. They leveled my property, installed a french drain, and built a retaining wall. They were professional and did a remarkable job. I would highly recommend them for any landscaping/developing jobs."

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.

Poured concrete is often the cheapest material for a retaining wall, costing around $6 to $8 per square foot. Other budget-friendly options include vinyl and landscaping timbers, which range from $10 to $15 per square foot; landscaping timbers are particularly well-suited for DIY projects. Untreated timber and railroad ties are a step up in price, starting at $15 to $25 per square foot. Natural stones can also be a cost-effective choice if you can source them from your own property, but they can be expensive to purchase. High-end materials like steel are typically the most expensive but offer superior durability and aesthetics.

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.

Yes, to build a retaining wall, a permit is required. Similarly, any repairs or modifications to an existing retaining wall require permits. If the planned wall measures higher than 4 feet, most municipalities require designs and permits come through a licensed engineer. In some locations, if the wall is shorter than 4 feet, a permit may not be required. For the requirements in your area, contact your local government.

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.
