"I hired Darrien from Solid Finish Concrete to put in a new driveway for me, and I’m really happy with how everything turned out. I don’t know much about concrete work, but he explained things in a way I could understand and handled the whole job with honesty and respect. You can tell he takes pride in what he does.The driveway looks great, it was done quicker than I expected, and he kept everything clean while he worked. It’s solid, smooth, and way better than what I pictured when we first talked about it. I’ve known Darrien for a long time, and he’s always been dependable and hardworking. Seeing him do this job just proved it even more. The integrity in which he carried himself with was astounding and his knowledge was vast. I’d absolutely recommend Solid Finish Concrete to anyone who wants good work done by someone they can trust."

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.  

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.

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.

Depending on who you hire to build a retaining wall, the average cost, including demolition and reconstruction, for a 50-foot wall that's 4 feet in height is between $7,000 and $24,000.

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.
