"Carolina Creations Landscaping did an excellent job on time, aesthetically and within the provided quotation. The team addressed the unique challenges of our heavily wooded backyard … with decades of leaf drop and overgrown foliage. Their efforts clean up the backyard and achieved the path aesthetic I was looking for. I highly recommend Carolina Creations Landscaping."

"Benito and his team were amazing! He showed up same day to provide us with a price quote and work started the following week. Both projects (interior painting and exterior deck repairs) took a day to complete as promised and his employees were kind, courteous and cleaned up after themselves. What more can you ask for?"

"William responded quickly to a small job and knocked it out in a couple of hours. He repaired a small section of brick on a retaining wall and repaired mortar around loose bricks. His price was very reasonable. I’ve hired him to pressure wash."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

They prevent soil erosion, add flat space, and enhance property aesthetics.

A retaining wall can only function as a fence if it’s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn’t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall.  

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.

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.
