Q: Can I build a retaining wall myself?

• <div><p>Even if you think you know <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-build-a-retaining-wall.htm">how to build a retaining wall</a> theoretically, doing the actual work is a completely different story. There are lots of nuances in building retaining walls, and the slightest oversight can compromise their integrity. Therefore, we recommend you hire a pro to build, repair, or replace retaining walls.</p></div>

Q: How long does wall installation take?

• <div><p>Installation typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the wall&rsquo;s size and site conditions.</p></div>

Q: When does a slope need a retaining wall?

• <div><p>To maintain the integrity of your landscape, a retaining wall must be installed if the slope of the angle exceeds 35 degrees. The lean of the wall must be 1 inch per 12 inches in height to disperse the weight of the soil uniformly and guarantee the correct drainage of the 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 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>

The installers were great. They had to move our furniture to install the carpet ad flooring. There was only one problem. They scratched my new flooring in the living room moving the furniture. However, they replaced the planks that were scratched and I have no complaints.
