Austin competed the job on time to a higher quality than I expected. This walkway will last more than 25 years into the future. I took Eric's recommendation on the back steps and i am glad i did, it fits in better with the house than what i had initially wanted. The only criticism I had was with communications. This did not affect the installation but kept me guessing when the work would actually start. I was the proactive party and Eric responded to my texts and emails rather than the reverse. The quality and speed of the work more than overcame this minor issue. I would hire Austin again in a heartbeat.

"Jason, Ron and Dalton spent one week on our property tearing out crumbling retaining walls, broken edging and overgrown trees and bushes. They built a beautiful Unilock retaining wall in front with brick pavers along sides and in back. They laid sod where a bed was removed in the backyard and planted trees and plants per the plan drawn up before hiring. They went the extra mile doing little things to our yard (adjusting sprinkler heads, planting grass seed, replacing broken sprinkler parts, cleaning up area each day, etc.)that add up to a very happy client and a yard we can be proud of now. This is the first landscape company we have hired that I can rave about. We have hired others that did average to sub-par work that had to be redone. Thank you Jason and company!"

"I had contracted Dominic for some work and some things came up and we were unable to go ahead with the project. Dominic had the integrity to refund all my money even though he usually retains 25% of the deposit in such cases. I thought he was very honest and above all else..... FAIR. (Which is increasingly rare these days.) I would not hesitate to use him in the future."

"They did excellent work with all aspects: from digging deep to make a sturdy foundation and digging for retaining wall to finalizing a beautiful patio laid herringbone style with trim details to butt up against existing walkway. And they clean up well when done, which by the way took less than 2 days!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

With foundation walls, the slab on grade and force at the top of the wall is resisted by flooring. With retaining walls, the force at the top of the wall is not resisted.

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.
