"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."

"Stephen is an honest hardworking contractor. He traveled from Moyet Springs to my home in Coeur d'Alene various times. Although he had an unforeseen business conflict and had to fight bad weather, he finished the job working many hard hours by himself. There are few like Stephen today."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

The lifespan of a retaining wall varies based on its material, installation quality, maintenance, and local climate, with an average range of 20 to 100 years. Retaining walls made from durable materials like concrete, stone, and brick generally last a minimum of 50 years. Concrete walls typically last between 50 and 100 years, while brick can last for over a century in ideal conditions. Timber retaining walls can last from 20 to 40 years, depending on the wood quality, and pressure-treated wood walls average around 30 years. It is important to note that a retaining wall can fail prematurely if it was poorly constructed, for example, with inefficient footings or without necessary rebar reinforcements.

If you don’t backfill a retaining wall—either at all or adequately enough—the wall won’t drain well, and water will be able to pass through it. Poor drainage will lead to a warped wall or a buildup of hydrostatic pressure, which can eventually collapse your retaining wall. If you have particularly sloped land, consult a structural engineer to ensure your hardscaping is adding value to your home.

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.
