"First explained the process to remove the old lawn and soil and replace with new topsoil and sod. Once started, the process was followed exactly as explained. Methodical with attention to detail during the entire process. Answered any questions or issues. On time to do the work. No surprises regarding estimate or final cost. Also installed aluminum edging which added a nice touch. Would recommend for landscaping or hardscape projects."

"Working with Brandon/Top-Notch Masonry was fantastic. I hired Top-Notch to repoint like 580 sq feet of 135 year old brick on my house...not an easy job, plus I can be a bit picky. Brandon at Top-Notch was great to work with - quick and comprehensive communication, attention to detail, a clean jobsite, fair pricing, and masonry mastery. I don't very often leave gleaming reviews, but I truly enjoyed working with Top-Notch and I'm so thrilled with the work and the way our house looks now. I would 100% recommend Top-Notch to anyone looking for high quality masonry work!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, 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.

There are contractors specifically trained in the design and construction of retaining walls. Retaining wall contractors are skilled at dealing with the soil on your property and assessing what kind of drainage should be installed. They will recommend the best materials to use for the project and can handle the processing of permits by local authorities.

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.

Each design is different, so we can’t say definitively if you’ll need a dedicated drainage system in place for a two-foot retaining wall. However, you can likely skip the drainage, as this project is typically served for walls that are 4 feet tall or more. Even with a relatively low wall, consider drainage if you are building on top of clay or poor-draining soil types or if there are buried water sources nearby, like a well used for other outdoor garden projects.

The lifespan of a retaining wall varies based on its material, installation quality, maintenance, and local climate, with an average range of 20 to 100 years. Retaining walls made from durable materials like concrete, stone, and brick generally last a minimum of 50 years. Concrete walls typically last between 50 and 100 years, while brick can last for over a century in ideal conditions. Timber retaining walls can last from 20 to 40 years, depending on the wood quality, and pressure-treated wood walls average around 30 years. It is important to note that a retaining wall can fail prematurely if it was poorly constructed, for example, with inefficient footings or without necessary rebar reinforcements.
