The Earthscape Company is a locally owned, full service, landscaping company serving the Charlotte area since 2002. We have made it our passion to assist our commercial and residential clients in lending beauty to their outdoor spaces.

"I couldn’t be happier with the transformation of my courtyard! Once I requested a quote, the communication was prompt and an appointment was scheduled within just a few days. The team was knowledgeable, professional, and attentive throughout the entire process. They really listened to my vision for a low-maintenance design, suggesting the perfect combination of easy-care plants and zero-maintenance rock bedding. Jim was especially thorough in ensuring everything met our expectations. When I requested a more mature shrub than the one originally delivered, it was swapped out the very same day. They also checked in throughout the installation to confirm the project was on track with what I had envisioned. Start to finish, this company exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality landscaping services!"

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.

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.

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.

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.

Costs depend on material type, labor rates, and additional features like decorative finishes or reinforcement.
