"These guys remind me of the Old Days when I worked for All-Work construction. We lived by our word and our quality of work. Yep, these guys are the real deal they gave us a very competitive quote and lived by that quote. They take pride in their work and have great work ethics IE they show up when they say they are going to show up and do what they said they would do. Thank you for all you did. To name a few they, finished the hardwood floor, (other contractor bagged on us), completed all the finishing work and drywall repair/ replacement. Painted the interior and repaired the roof over the Florida room. And completed all the landscaping work."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on material type, labor rates, and additional features like decorative finishes or reinforcement.

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.

Costs range from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on size, material, and design complexity.

With foundation walls, the slab on grade and force at the top of the wall is resisted by flooring. With retaining walls, the force at the top of the wall is not resisted.

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.
