"Had Georgia Outdoor Services come to give me an estimate to tear out old rotting timber retaining wall around back patio. From the beginning it was clear Mike knows what he is doing. Work was scheduled and completed on time. Crew was thorough and when another drainage issue came up during the job, they were able to complete the additional work at the same time. I will definitely use them again when I schedule the additional work I need done. Great Job!"

"The crew worked quickly and professionally to build a retaining wall, grade our yard, and lay new sod. The quality of the work is excellent. We can't wait to enjoy our new yard and hope to have them work on more projects with us in the future."

"Professional team of people, Eric is very good at coming up with ideas to enhance what we already had in our backyard. The team installed new drainage, sidewalk, turf and completed a new wall in our backyard. Looks great and we are very pleased with the finished product. We highly recommend Nesbit Landscape for any work you have planned."

"Great job! Protected property and a swing set that a different contractor told me they could not save with tree removal. And they left us the logs for firewood, at request. Great price!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.  

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is 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.

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. 

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.
