"Re-graded asphalt drive next to garage to prevent water entering garage during storms. Difficult job that required forming a slight swale. Flawless! Weâ ve had huge storms and no water in garage. Professional crew, totally focused on the job. Would definitely hire again."

"From initial inquiry to job estimate and finally job construction/completion all personnel at Maryland Excavating communicated well, were on time, polite, courteous knowledgeable, professional and highly skilled. The construction team laid out, formed up and poured me a custom concrete walkway that I had only envisioned in my mind. Their team skills made my vision and concept walkway a reality in short time. The finished job is EXACTLY what I wanted. They are a great team. I recommend their services and I would hire them again."

"The job went well. There were some issues with the supplier. They sent the wrong pavers and we had to reorder. That was beyond VRN's control. Once everything arrived the job went smoothly and quickly."

"I honestly cannot say enough good things about Hard Worx Concrete. They installed an outdoor basketball court for us, and they did an absolutely beatiful job. Everyone who has seen it wants to put one up in their own yard now! What really stands out about Hard Worx is their experience and their willingness to go the extra mile. We needed metal work removed before we could install the court and they did that. We needed help installing the actual pole and hoop and they did that for us as well. Roger even identified a missing part right away and made an extra trip to install it after it arrived. The job was essentially done, but he went out of his way to make sure our court was fully functional. Roger was so knowledgeable about every aspect of the job. He made special bevel cuts to enhance our playing experience and gave us multiple options for pigment and hoop placement. Hard Worx Concrete are professional, kind, and experts in their field. We hope to use them again for future projects!"

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Costs depend on material type, labor rates, and additional features like decorative finishes or reinforcement.

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.

Proper design and construction prevent erosion and add structural stability to landscapes.

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.
