"This project was a total living room remodel. I had floors redone, a fireplace removed, new walls put up, etc. Fred was very communicative and easy to work with. He worked around my schedule and still completed the project early. He also worked with my budget and saved me some money on materials that I didnâ t really have the knowledge for. Will definitely be using them again!"

"Jeff is by far the best contractor we have ever worked with. He did what he said he would do, when he said he would do it. He was honest, on time, hard working, and fun to have around! He worked with our drawings and offered suggestions on making the remodel better. His craftsmanship is unmatched. We will not let anyone else touch our house but Jeff! Every day we enjoy our new master bedroom and bath even more and wouldn't change a thing. You won't regret hiring Jeff."

Wall Repair questions, answered by experts

DIY is possible for small projects. Professional installation ensures structural integrity and durability for larger walls.

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. 

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.
