"We contracted them on a handshake. They came in and removed a large area of gumbo clay, installed a solid base and the stone cutting was intricate and impressive. Within 10 days they gave us and the future owners of our home. This family of hard workers never let us down. Then they went above and beyond with follow up visits and answered questions after the installation. I had concerns about winters damage. They answered and winter came and left with zero damage and the patio is our go to place when the weather isn't offensive."

"Scott did a great job. The lions share of the work was a new poor in a garage that was dirt and pea gravel. It wasn't easy working in the smaller garage with a low roof. Other work was an alleyway between that garage and my main garage along with a landing from my main garage and having to match up to the ramp up to house along with driveway pavement. So three different levels to match up to and Scott did a great job."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Regular inspection for issues like cracks or leaning and ensuring drainage stays clear.

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.

Poured concrete is often the cheapest material for a retaining wall, costing around $6 to $8 per square foot. Other budget-friendly options include vinyl and landscaping timbers, which range from $10 to $15 per square foot; landscaping timbers are particularly well-suited for DIY projects. Untreated timber and railroad ties are a step up in price, starting at $15 to $25 per square foot. Natural stones can also be a cost-effective choice if you can source them from your own property, but they can be expensive to purchase. High-end materials like steel are typically the most expensive but offer superior durability and aesthetics.

Each design is different, so we can’t say definitively if you’ll need a dedicated drainage system in place for a two-foot retaining wall. However, you can likely skip the drainage, as this project is typically served for walls that are 4 feet tall or more. Even with a relatively low wall, consider drainage if you are building on top of clay or poor-draining soil types or if there are buried water sources nearby, like a well used for other outdoor garden projects.

A retaining wall can only function as a fence if it’s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn’t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall.
