"They are our first call any time concrete work is needed at our business locale. Not only fair pricing, but utmost concern that we are happy with their work! They have re-done concrete porches, concrete steps and railings (welding) and most recently worked to refinish our concrete outdoor hot tub. Highly recommend!"

"We hired Jo and Lee to repair our retaining wall. After everything was complete, we had a new decorative concrete patio with custom built pergola (Lee designed and built), new concrete sidewalk, stairs and concrete pad with cedar greenhouse, a custom built gable, additional landscape walls with rock gardens populated with easy-to-care-for plants and our rebuilt retaining wall included a second custom built waterfall. Met and exceeded our expectations; we have already scheduled more improvements with our "friends" Jo and Lee."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

There are contractors specifically trained in the design and construction of retaining walls. Retaining wall contractors are skilled at dealing with the soil on your property and assessing what kind of drainage should be installed. They will recommend the best materials to use for the project and can handle the processing of permits by local authorities.

Small retaining walls still require a foundation of some kind, typically a concrete footing. This helps to ensure the wall is structurally sound and prevents the ground from shifting over time, especially during those winter freeze/thaw cycles. The footing helps spread the weight of the wall and the load it carries over a larger area of the ground, thus assisting with stability. This is true of small retaining walls, larger rock garden walls, and the like.
