"Andries gave me a fair estimate to rebuild the retaining wall along my drive and a smaller one in my flower bed. The crew worked amazingly fast within just a few short hours the walls were completely taken apart and reassembled. The few questions I had were answered honestly and respectfully. After they were finished, they even asked me, how it looked and made a few minor adjustments."

"Ciro ('Cheeto') and his team are absolute professionals. We live in an earth/berm home and needed extensive work done to replace retaining walls. Delighted with all aspects of the work. Given scope of the work, we were a bit nervous going in, clearly no need to have been"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Proper design and construction prevent erosion and add structural stability to landscapes.

There are contractors specifically trained in the design and construction of retaining walls. Retaining wall contractors are skilled at dealing with the soil on your property and assessing what kind of drainage should be installed. They will recommend the best materials to use for the project and can handle the processing of permits by local authorities.

While vinyl is the least costly material for building a retaining wall, the most cost-effective method is to use wood or concrete blocks for a DIY retaining wall under 2 feet tall. Wood is inexpensive but lasts 20 years or more with care. Concrete can cost a little more but is stronger and will last longer with less maintenance.

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.

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.
