"We hired Rombach and sons to install a French drain on our outbuilding that was getting a good deal of water especially during the winter thaw. They came out and gave me a reasonable estimate and started the work promptly. Everything was completed in the time frame that we established and we have not had one drop of water in the building since the project was completed. I would strongly recommend Rombach and sons for any type of excavation project. They are a honest, hard-working and easy company to work with."

"Andrew came out the same day to haul away ancient overstuffed furniture, 8 Adirondack chairs, scraps of vinyl planking and other assorted items. Andrew very quickly was able to load all of our junk/waste on his flat bed trailer. We will certainly call him again - maybe next time we'll have him build us a garage!"

"Hunter does phenomenal work. I had a list of very random tasks for Hunter while fixing up a property I had recently purchased, including garbage disposal installation, re-caulking in the kitchen, installing toilet and faucets, etc. He worked efficiently and thoroughly, and even identified areas that may need repair down the road. I’ve already scheduled Hunter to perform more work on another one of my properties. I’d recommend him to everyone!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Yes, to build a retaining wall, a permit is required. Similarly, any repairs or modifications to an existing retaining wall require permits. If the planned wall measures higher than 4 feet, most municipalities require designs and permits come through a licensed engineer. In some locations, if the wall is shorter than 4 feet, a permit may not be required. For the requirements in your area, contact your local government.

Generally, a railroad tie retaining wall consisting of a single line of ties should be between 3 and 4 feet tall—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’s holding back.

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.

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. 

Generally speaking, a retaining wall should be between 3 and 4 feet high, depending on variables such as the wall-building material, the purpose of the retaining wall, and more. If you want your retaining wall to be taller than 4 feet, check with your local building ordinance office for the maximum allotment. You may also need a special permit for retaining walls over 4 feet tall.
