"Almost two years ago, I hired a company to install a large retaining wall built with 6 x 6 wooden beams. This was a mistake. The wall did not drain properly and started to separate. This wall failure put my house at risk of sliding down a steep slope. I contacted Art Miller at Engineered Retaining Walls, LLC, and he immediately had a crew out to my property to brace up my house and prevent it from sliding down the slope while he removed the wooden retaining wall and replaced it with a Redi-Rock retaining wall to protect my home. The work is excellent, and so are the people at Engineered Retaining Walls. I highly recommend this company."

"I requested 6 quotes from local contractors. While Patrick Stollenmaier was not the cheapest, his plan was quite detailed and added a secondary wall 6 ft in to ensure the land was usable for a raised bed garden and lawn area on the upper segment. While the start was delayed by a couple of weeks, the work done was exemplary. At 80 ft long, the crew had limited space to work but all was coordinated with me and neighbor. Some of the details included ample 'deadmen' to better secure the wall to the hillside, much gravel for adequate drainage as well as downspout drains directed to the street to drain rather than draining into neighboring yard. The crew cleaned the site daily and, when finished, spread straw and grass seed on the lawn areas and applied sufficient mulch on the garden site."

"Fantastic folks. Al and his team were highly professional, attentive to detail, on budget, and on time. They replaced my leaning retaining wall, concrete steps, and the elevated portion of my driveway with a much more substantial work of art. We are extremely happy with the results. Highly recommended."

"I would highly recommend David. After finding him on Angi, I had him inspect a slope and retaining wall on a house we are looking to purchase in Franklin. The home inspector had noted some settling of the porch, and I worried about the stability of the slope underneath the porch. The current owners had a local person build a retaining wall a few years prior, and they were convinced that any erosion issues had been resolved. However, David immediately pointed out to me that the current retaining wall wasn't built properly and was failing to do its job. Already, there was so much erosion that he could literally slide his hand under the base of the retaining wall, and he warned that we were sitting on a time bomb. In fact, David said it would literally be only a matter of months before we had a much bigger problem on our hands. I contacted the owners, and -- about a month later-- they agreed to have David fix the problem. Even from the time when David first came out, more erosion had occurred in the ensuing several weeks -- just as he had warned. He did a great job of building a much more substantial wall and also graded the top of the driveway to fix a drainage issue. I can't imagine the mess we'd have had to deal with if the problem had not been addressed. Before contacting David, I'd spent a good bit of time researching contractors in the area. The mountains are wonderful, but they are also home to a number of contractors who do very questionable work (as evidenced by the contractor who built the first retaining wall). When I saw that David had over 250 positive reviews on Angi, I knew I'd found our contractor! He did not disappoint. If you're looking for someone you can trust to do slope or foundation work, look no further. David is your man."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

DIY is possible for small projects. Professional installation ensures structural integrity and durability for larger walls.

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.

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.

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.

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.
