"We got to work with Travis P. on our project and he was more than helpful and responsive. They were able to get it done quickly and exactly how we wanted it. The retaining wall around our new raised deck looks great, and Travis was able to provide ideas to make it look how we envisioned it. We have worked with a lot of contractors and Design One was one of our better experiences. We will definitely be using them again if we have another project."

"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!"

"I've had a very good experience with OCR Inc. I used them all of the time. He's my contractor. They were here last week. They've been here for the last eight months. He's incredibly trustworthy. He's very punctual and always answers his phone when you call. I couldn't say enough nice things about him. He's a great guy. He's doing landscaping and a dock outside on the lake. He's doing all kinds of stuff. He has both his own crew and other contractors that he calls in."

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, answered by experts

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.

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.

DIY is possible for small projects. Professional installation ensures structural integrity and durability for larger walls.

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

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.
