"I hired er walls in 2018 to remedy damage done by previous excavator to install a retaining wall that left my neighborhood road in jeopardy of collapsing. They promptly arrived on the job to begin the work of fixing the problem that was left by the previous excavator. Excellent communication with me every step of the way through the process. So pleased with the work that I have had them back to do other projects over the last couple of years. Has constructed my retaining walls to last a lifetime with no further worries or maintenance. Excellent work and a truly good outcome in correcting a problem caused by someone else. I highly recommend this company."

"First of all, I used Patrick and his crew last Fall to fill in an outdated koi pond.  They did an excellent job so knew at that time I would continue working with them.  They always call ahead, always on time and an extremely efficient and friendly group to work with.  

They removed the old out-dated shrubbery along the entire front length of my home.  Removing the roots after cutting down.  This left a clean slate in which they planted 14 appropriate size bushes which will do well in the full southern exposure.  No clipping involved as they get larger which I had to do with the older bushes. They also planted close to 100 liriope plants.  3" of mulch was added to cover this area.  My brick walk had many sunken bricks and a rusted metal paver was raised out of the ground which was suppose to hold the bricks in the walkway from sliding around.  Patrick and his crew removed the metal strip, installed the correct plastic locking pavers and redid most of the bricks which are now even and safe. It looks beautiful and neighbors have added their approval.  Completely different picture compared to what I had to deal with before.  He knows his stuff!!!

Will continue working with this group.  Tops on my list and I have had many contractors to know."

"Zack, the owner, and his crews are incredible! I have a very steep driveway and hillside at the front of my WNC mountain home. They repaired a badly damaged wood retaining wall then properly excavated, provided drainage, backfilled and secured new posts with deadman anchoring. This is my third project using ZR Landscaping. They are always on time, professional, courteous, hard working, reliable and provide a great project outcome at a fair price. I highly recommend ZR Landscaping!"

"A great company with a very experienced crew.. JD got us exactly what we wanted. They poured a 2ft by 70 plus foot wall and used the colored concrete to create an awesome texture that blew me away. We also had a 20 ft by 13ft patio poured, stamped, using colored concrete. Everything came out beyond our expectations . I would highly recommend this company that wants a quality job at a very competitive cost."

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, 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.

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.

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.

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.
