We work very hard to make sure that all of our customers are pleased with the work we do! We believe that every job, no matter the size, deserves our full attention and should be done right

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Travis for our paver patio installation, and we couldn't be happier with the results. After another contractor bailed on our project at the last minute, we were on a tight deadline to complete our landscaping. Travis stepped in and saved the day. Despite the short notice, Travis and his crew were able to squeeze us into their schedule and completed the project in just one day, as promised. The team was professional, efficient, and their workmanship was outstanding. The paver patio looks beautiful. We highly recommend Travis to anyone looking for quality and reliability in their yard improvement projects."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

A retaining wall can only function as a fence if it’s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn’t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall.  

Costs range from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on size, material, and design complexity.

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.

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