"They did a 50 foot retaining wall. The original wall had collapsed due to poor installation. They upgraded and installed new drainage and did the project correctly. It looks amazing. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments from neighbors. they were on time every day and arrived when they said they would. David was very helpful. Would highly recommend!"

"Leo, Mike and the crew did a great job! The crew did a very large clean up of our yard and it look wonderful. Price was high for me, but what isn't these day! They were able to accommodate an extra job of building a new landscape timber bed while they were here. I will definitely call them again for more projects!"

"I needed a retaining wall repair and found KingRose Landscaping. These guys were amazing!! They were prompt, kind, and most importantly they communicated with us throughout the whole process. Honestly, these guys have renewed our outlook on contractors since we had very bad experiences with other contractors and other jobs before this project. But KingRose has restored my outlook on contractors. They were also very quick in getting the project done, and their clean-up efforts were also great too. His Dad is a very good masonry as well. They do amazing work as a team! Also, their prices for their services were very reasonable. I was so very happy with this company and will be a return customer for sure. I strongly and highly recommend this company for any of your landscaping or concrete needs."

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.

Poured concrete is often the cheapest material for a retaining wall, costing around $6 to $8 per square foot. Other budget-friendly options include vinyl and landscaping timbers, which range from $10 to $15 per square foot; landscaping timbers are particularly well-suited for DIY projects. Untreated timber and railroad ties are a step up in price, starting at $15 to $25 per square foot. Natural stones can also be a cost-effective choice if you can source them from your own property, but they can be expensive to purchase. High-end materials like steel are typically the most expensive but offer superior durability and aesthetics.

Proper design and construction prevent erosion and add structural stability to landscapes.

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.

If you don’t backfill a retaining wall—either at all or adequately enough—the wall won’t drain well, and water will be able to pass through it. Poor drainage will lead to a warped wall or a buildup of hydrostatic pressure, which can eventually collapse your retaining wall. If you have particularly sloped land, consult a structural engineer to ensure your hardscaping is adding value to your home.
