"We found Martinez Concrete by chance on Facebook while looking for someone to repair the concrete around our pool and driveway, and we?re so glad we did! We had contacted a couple of other companies, but one gave us a high estimate with a ?take it or leave it? attitude, and another was slow to respond. Martinez and his wife came out the same evening we contacted them and provided an estimate the next day. Now that?s service! We explained that our new fence was scheduled to go in the following week, and we wanted the demolition completed beforehand to avoid damaging it. Their crew showed up Saturday AND Sunday?yes, Sunday!?to get it done. That allowed the fence installers to complete their work, and Martinez returned afterward to pour the concrete. Like many projects, ours started small, but we kept adding to it because we were so impressed with the quality of their work. Before we knew it, we needed a concrete pump truck! The pictures don?t do it justice, and we haven?t even had i"

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, answered by experts

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.

To maintain the integrity of your landscape, a retaining wall must be installed if the slope of the angle exceeds 35 degrees. The lean of the wall must be 1 inch per 12 inches in height to disperse the weight of the soil uniformly and guarantee the correct drainage of the soil.

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.

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.

Installation typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the wall’s size and site conditions.
