"My very old farmhouse was definitely showing its age! The west foundation wall was caving in and there was water in the basement. Repairs were needed immediately. Hitman Solutions and Dell Phillips came to my rescue! Their solution to the problem was creative and effective. Unfortunately I was out of town caring for my sister during the repairs. So Dell sent me photos and updates daily. What a wonderful group to work with! I have nothing but praise for Dell and Hitman Solutions! Linda Morris"

"They built a well established retaining wall with flagstone rock. Definitely the best work I have seen hands down when it comes to hardscapes. Highly Recommend!!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

Costs depend on material type, labor rates, and additional features like decorative finishes or reinforcement.

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.

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

Small retaining walls still require a foundation of some kind, typically a concrete footing. This helps to ensure the wall is structurally sound and prevents the ground from shifting over time, especially during those winter freeze/thaw cycles. The footing helps spread the weight of the wall and the load it carries over a larger area of the ground, thus assisting with stability. This is true of small retaining walls, larger rock garden walls, and the like.
