Q: How do professionals ensure durability in wall construction?

• <div><p>Through proper drainage solutions and compacting the foundation soil.</p></div>

Q: How tall can a railroad tie wall be?

• <div><p>Generally, a railroad tie retaining wall consisting of a single line of ties should be between <b>3 and 4 feet tall</b>&mdash;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&rsquo;s holding back.</p></div>

Q: What is the best material to fill behind a retaining wall?

• <div><p>Sand and gravel are two suitable options for filling behind a retaining wall. If you&rsquo;re building your own retaining wall, you&rsquo;ll complete this part of the process&mdash;known as backfilling&mdash;after you finish laying the blocks. Make sure not to skip it&mdash;otherwise, you could wind up with drainage issues, which can cause your retaining wall to collapse.</p></div>

Q: How high does a retaining wall have to be?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What is the least expensive type of retaining wall?

• <div><p><b>Vinyl retaining walls </b>are often the least expensive type of retaining wall, at $10 to $15 per square foot. This budget-friendly material is lightweight and durable, but it doesn&rsquo;t have many decorative options. Untreated timber and railroad ties are the next step up, and start at $15 to $25 per square foot, respectively. High-end steel or natural stone tend to be the least wallet-friendly, but they&rsquo;re extremely durable and come with a high-end look.</p></div>

Daniel did a great job installing doors and drawers in my custom kitchen and bathroom cabinets. He was careful not to scratch the finish, installed and adjusted hinges and drawer slides so that everything hung and worked properly. He installed the hardware as well. His work was excellent.
