"I called and left a message at 7:15pm and received a return phone call within the hour. Jeff spent 15 minutes on the phone with me discussing the issue and recommended some basic grading changes to see if that corrects the issue. I really appreciate the time he took to provide some suggestions I could try myself. If those options do not correct the issue I will definitely call him back."

"Mitchell was terrific! We were anxious to have yard work done asap as our house was on the market and he surpassed our expectations. He worked very hard to get the project done quickly and had great rates. We have already recommended him to our friends and will hire him again in the future."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

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

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 longevity of flood walls depends on how they were constructed, but most wood, gravel, and cement flood walls last 10 years. While aluminum flood walls may cost far more initially, they can be a good investment as they can last decades and will not be damaged by exposure to the elements.

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.
