"I had this company come out and replace a large retaining wall and install a concrete pad for a shed. From start to finish they were very professional and easy to work with. The communication was great throughout the whole process and the work turned out awesome! I highly recommend this company for future projects! Thank you TSG!"

"I couldn’t get the big fencing companies to call me back. This company responded immediately. We ran into a few unforeseen obstacles but they powered through to make sure the job was done right and to my satisfaction. Even asking permission to arrive at 6 AM on a Sunday morning to finish up so they could be home in time to make it to church and spend the afternoon with their families. Not only that, they saw me struggling with a project I was working on and jumped in to help. Then they quickly resolved another issue with a commercial fence joining my yard that was preventing my back gate from closing. They exceeded my expectations and were good company as well. I would highly recommend them not only for their skill but their attitude and values."

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Sand and gravel are two suitable options for filling behind a retaining wall. If you’re building your own retaining wall, you’ll complete this part of the process—known as backfilling—after you finish laying the blocks. Make sure not to skip it—otherwise, you could wind up with drainage issues, which can cause your retaining wall to collapse.

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.

Yes, including patterns, finishes, and plant integration for aesthetic enhancement.

The lifespan of a retaining wall varies based on its material, installation quality, maintenance, and local climate, with an average range of 20 to 100 years. Retaining walls made from durable materials like concrete, stone, and brick generally last a minimum of 50 years. Concrete walls typically last between 50 and 100 years, while brick can last for over a century in ideal conditions. Timber retaining walls can last from 20 to 40 years, depending on the wood quality, and pressure-treated wood walls average around 30 years. It is important to note that a retaining wall can fail prematurely if it was poorly constructed, for example, with inefficient footings or without necessary rebar reinforcements.
