"Austin was prompt in my response for a quote, and was able to start the job earlier than he first estimated, keeping in good touch by email thoughout the process. His team initially did some minor repair work leveling sections of the pavers, and then moved on to powerwashing out all the old built up dirt and moss from our pavers and surrounding landscaping blocks - including blocks in areas of the yard I did not think they were going to do. I was out of town for the work, and when I returned the transformation was amazing to see. Payment not required until the work was completed."

"The BEST EXPERIENCE EVER! Not only that is the owner amazing but so is the crew. These guys were on the spot with every detail. I took an interest in our new home and yard during “Covid” times. So many places were unreliable or over priced. Brian and his crew were the exception. Have used them on multiple occasions and referred them to multiple people. Rave reviews!! Thank you again and again!!!"

"These guys were GREAT! Called them to correct a flowerbed disaster from another contractor, who I did not want anything to do with anymore. The sales rep Adam was fantastic, straight forward, honest and really cared that the job will be done correctly and that I would be completely satisfied with their work. I can't say enough good things about these guys. They said the job would take two days and it did. When it was done, they power washed and re-sanded the patio pavers gratis. My patio never looked so good. These guys were so good and so professional. I'd hire these guy again in a second."

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.

Installation typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the wall’s size and site conditions.

Depending on who you hire to build a retaining wall, the average cost, including demolition and reconstruction, for a 50-foot wall that's 4 feet in height is between $7,000 and $24,000.

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.

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.
