Q: How long will a railroad tie wall last?

• <div><p>Most railroad tie retaining walls have a life span of <b>20 to 30 years</b>, though you may need to replace your wall sooner if it&rsquo;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&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: What benefits do retaining walls provide?

• <div><p>They prevent soil erosion, add flat space, and enhance property aesthetics.</p></div>

Q: How long do flood walls last?

• <div><p>The longevity of flood walls depends on how they were constructed, but most wood, gravel, and cement flood walls last 10 years. While aluminum flood walls may cost far more initially, they can be a good investment as they can last decades and will not be damaged by exposure to the elements.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a permit for a retaining wall?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What does rebar do?

• <div><p>Rebar is a steel support that goes inside concrete to prevent structural damage over time. Concrete is susceptible to impact, weight, and tension. By inserting rebar into the concrete during the installation, you can help extend its lifespan and avoid hazardous situations where the foundation of your home gives way to tensile forces.</p></div>

Our retaining wall was poorly constructed with what appears to be leftover materials from several projects. The materials are not what we were quoted or as described. It seems as though Jeff does not have much experience building retaining walls and this type of project may not be a...

I had about 50 feet of retaining wall collapse. Pleasant View had to clear the site of all the retaining block and the dirt and rock from the collapse. The site was not easily accessible and required a lot of excavation due to the fact that the wall was rebuilt with a geo grid system to ensure...

What I liked about them is that they were very prompt in coming out and were very professional. We had a retaining wall that is going to be torn down and replaced and then they were going to take the limestones from the retaining wall they tore down and basically recycle that and use it for...

It looks okay. Our biggest complaint is that they are not responsive. You call them and leave messages, day after day. We are going with somebody else for the project. The work was fine. We did not have any problem with the work.

The job took longer than they expected but at no extra cost. Some surprises were found behind the old wall. No damage or outages, just some snags. The wall and planters look great and the sod is fine.

I would highly recommend them. When the guy came to give the estimate, there was several things we wanted, he told us what was worth our money now, and he gave us a ton of options, not once pushing us toward the more expensive option. They were very competitive in price.
