"We were looking for someone to put in a paver patio and pergola in our backyard at our new home. We met with many landscapers, but Eric and Cornerstone were the only ones to make us feel like they wanted our business and we were their only client. From design to completion, Eric and his team were friendly, helpful, professional, and gave us exactly what we wanted. Their work is high quality and their prices were competitive and fair. Even after the projects completion, Eric and his team came back to button up a few things after a bad storm to ensure that we were happy. If you're looking for a landscaper to treat your home as their own, hire Cornerstone."

"I cannot sing praises enough. I have finally found a company that does what it promises when it promises. I already have plans to hire them again. I had damaged concrete decking that had to be broken out and repoured. No damage to any surrounding areas. Work was done timely and professionally. Additional wood reworking done seamlessly"

"We hired Fresh Cut for weekly lawn maintenance throughout the 2014 spring and summer growing season and were completely satisfied! They are professional and reliable and the workers are friendly. We have seen their work in other yards in our neighborhood as well, with grass as well as flowerbeds, and they do a beautiful job. They price fairly. We will use their services again!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.
