I have been working and doing my passion now as a business owner for 15 years. Being a fellow home owner I know the ups and downs of hiring someone for a home project or repair. Working in and out of construction field since I was a teenager I have built a strong knowledge of how to get thing done efficiently and properly.

"Darren was such a pleasure to work with. His work truly speaks for itself. He helped remodel my bathroom. He cut, wired and installed an exhaust fan , new light fixtures and handled several electrical tasks. Everything was done professionally and with great attention to detail. I’m very pleased with the results and highly recommend him!"

"Our landscaping was original from when we built the house in 1988. We had 5 landscapers look at the project ( replacing all planting beds, stone, edging, and sod) and only Kingdomscape gave us a bid (when he said he would). They came out to do the work as soon as we approved the estimate and they worked every day until they were finished (approximately 2 weeks). The did a good job and we will use them by again."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

Poured concrete is likely the cheapest way to build a retaining wall, as this material costs anywhere from $6 to $8 per square foot. The next best budget-friendly option is to use landscaping timbers. These timbers are great for DIY projects, as they don’t require tools to successfully build a retaining wall. Landscape timber costs around $10 to $14 per square foot. Depending on your chosen garden style, you can also go with natural stones or concrete blocks. Natural stones can be expensive if you buy them, but they’re a lot less costly if you can source them from your property. 

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.

They prevent soil erosion, add flat space, and enhance property aesthetics.

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.
