"I can't say enough about Millennium Concrete. They turned my backyard, which was once a mud hole into a beautiful area. A gravel section was also created for my dogs to do their business and it blends in nicely. If I have any work done in the future they will be my choice."

"Gold Star installed a patio with fire pit, 2 walkways, and a berm at the center opening of my round driveway. The patio and walkways were stamped concrete and the results were outstanding! They had already installed a retaining wall for me and the patio was located below it, so it was quite the project. However, these guys did not hesitate to tackle this project and did so with complete confidence and competence. They work hard, stay focused, and give great customer service at a reasonable value. I would highly recommend, knowing there is not any project these guys will not do!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

While vinyl is the least costly material for building a retaining wall, the most cost-effective method is to use wood or concrete blocks for a DIY retaining wall under 2 feet tall. Wood is inexpensive but lasts 20 years or more with care. Concrete can cost a little more but is stronger and will last longer with less maintenance.

If you don’t backfill a retaining wall—either at all or adequately enough—the wall won’t drain well, and water will be able to pass through it. Poor drainage will lead to a warped wall or a buildup of hydrostatic pressure, which can eventually collapse your retaining wall. If you have particularly sloped land, consult a structural engineer to ensure your hardscaping is adding value to your home.

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