"We had a totally pleasant experience with Regnier Concrete - from beginning (sales call) to end (completion of project.) Our sales rep answered all our questions and the crew that did the installation was excellent. They were on time every day, courteous, answered questions, made smart suggestions and ideas, worked until the project was completed each day and cleaned up more than thoroughly. For concrete work that's saying something! We would highly recommend Regnier Concrete to anyone interested in installing a concrete patio with a stamped concrete border, which was the project we hired them for."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Most retaining wall installations can be finished in one to three weeks, but the timeline varies based on factors like wall size and material. The local climate and major weather events, such as storms or flooding, can also extend the project's timeline, as can any holds ups in the permitting process.

Rebar is a steel support that goes inside concrete to prevent structural damage over time. Concrete is susceptible to impact, weight, and tension. By inserting rebar into the concrete during the installation, you can help extend its lifespan and avoid hazardous situations where the foundation of your home gives way to tensile forces.

Sand and gravel are two suitable options for filling behind a retaining wall. If you’re building your own retaining wall, you’ll complete this part of the process—known as backfilling—after you finish laying the blocks. Make sure not to skip it—otherwise, you could wind up with drainage issues, which can cause your retaining wall to collapse.

Railroad ties can be good for retaining walls, but it depends on the area. They have a desirable rustic look and are durable. The problem is they’re treated with creosote, a preservative the EPA says poses a risk to humans and wildlife. Over time, the preservative seeps out of the wood and into the ground. Many areas have banned the use of creosote-treated wood on residential properties. If your area does allow it, never use railroad ties near an edible garden or drinking water source. Instead, use wood that’s treated with an EPA-approved preservative or a wood-alternative composite material.

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