"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

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.

Yes, you can use cinder blocks for many purposes, including retaining walls, foundations, garage walls, and fences. Building a cinder block retaining wall costs between $60 and $200 per linear foot, including materials and professional labor. For a 30-foot-long retaining wall, the cost ranges from $1,800 to $6,000.

Options include concrete, stone, brick, and wood, tailored for specific design needs.

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.

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.
