"Daniel and his crew were great, with good communication and updates about our project. Our retaining wall came out great. They took care of all the permitting and inspections and made sure the job was done right. They worked with us on changes and additions to the project and timing."

"Our property was in desperate need of a complete landscape overhaul. We contacted J & P Brothers Landscaping through their website and received a fast reply the next morning. Juan came out to our property to get an idea of what he was working with, and to find out what we were looking to do. Throughout the planning stage, Juan provided us with concept drawings, plant recommendations and paver ideas. Our project was big, and it included new steps for our back door, as well as two 50’ garden walls on the front and side. The planning was a collaborative effort and did take some time because we wanted to ensure it included every single thing we were looking for. It was well worth it in the end. Each day the crew worked on our project, either Juan or his brother, Percy was onsite to manage the process. The crew worked very hard, and they were respectful of any request I made, such as keeping foot traffic within our tight property lines so as not to disturb our neighbors’ properties. Throughout the entire project, Juan and Percy checked in with me often to be sure they were on the right track and that things were as we expected them to be. They accommodated our every request, no matter how small. As the project progressed, we made several changes along the way. J & P went with the flow and made sure everything was just right. J & P Brothers Landscaping is professional, friendly, responsive, hard-working and neat, and they do great work. We highly recommend them. They completely transformed our property, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. We have decided to use them for our ongoing maintenance, and we will always consider them first with any future landscaping project."

"Would be tough to find another company that works so hard with great pricing and top notch work. They installed a paver patio with a tv wall with a fire pit and sitting wall. They also added in a walkway with landscaping and sodded the rest of the yard. Their work is phenomenal! I can’t say enough about the crew but they put their all into your project to make sure you’re very happy!"

"We are very happy with our new stamped patio. Everyone at Valdez, Co was hardworking and dedicated to a quality product. They removed an existing deck and installed a stamped concrete patio at a fair price. Halfway through the project we also decided to extend our existing retaining wall, which they were able to quickly add to the project. They also did a great job cleaning up afterwards and reseeding any areas of grass that were dug up in the process. Overall would definitely recommend!"

"Very satisfied. We needed a low, brick retaining wall to be rebuilt after damage from several cold winters. Promptly responded to our request for quote. Ignacio and Kevin understood what we wanted done and the rebuild of the wall was beyond our expectations. Highly recommended."

"Indie and his crew did an excellent job with spring clean up, aerating, detaching and edging of our flowers beds. He also installed a backyard drain for us two years ago. He is always professional and shows up when he says he is going to. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a landscaper."

"Fantastic company. We've long had drainage issues around our driveway and garage- but no more! The Team at Daybreaker helped us come up with a custom plan to deal with our issues and fully transform the front of our house! We could not be happier with them and love watching neighbors and locals stopping to stare at our new driveway, retaining wall and front porch. 5 stars and many thumbs up!"

"Emmanuel and his crew were very professional and extremely hard working. They installed a landscaping Fond Du Lac stone wall to border my garden in my backyard exactly to my expectations using stone that I had acquired elsewhere. They even went and picked the stone up to save me on delivery. Would highly recommend and hire again!"

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Even if you think you know how to build a retaining wall theoretically, doing the actual work is a completely different story. There are lots of nuances in building retaining walls, and the slightest oversight can compromise their integrity. Therefore, we recommend you hire a pro to build, repair, or replace retaining walls.

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.

Generally speaking, a retaining wall should be between 3 and 4 feet high, depending on variables such as the wall-building material, the purpose of the retaining wall, and more. If you want your retaining wall to be taller than 4 feet, check with your local building ordinance office for the maximum allotment. You may also need a special permit for retaining walls over 4 feet tall.

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.
