"We had a retaining wall installed when we had a pool put in 5yrs ago. The wall was sinking and was not serving its purpose. We had YYY&D come and gave us a quote which was similar to the 3 other received. We decided to use him and so happy we did! He removed our current wall and was able to reuse all the stone to rebuild. He reconstructed our retaining wall to do what is was supposed to do 5 yrs ago. They were prompt, reliable, friendly and had respect for our property. Neat and cleaned up and did a wonderful job! I highly recommend and I would use them again. Thank you!"

"We selected Hardscapes in late July 2020, and they were able to do the work in January 2021. We knew upfront they had a waiting list. They built a 70 feet long retaining wall as the existing one was railroad ties and it was failing. The new wall looks excellent. It took about a week to do, and it was rough work since it had been raining consistently. I also requested them to redo our stairs in the same area. While I should be most impressed with the wall as it is fabulous, I really love the stairs. It was excellent work. The gentlemen working were all very nice and did a great job cleaning up every day. The neighbors even complimented on how thorough they were with clean up. The owner came to the site every day staying as long as was necessary each day managing the project and reviewing work that had been done and tweaking if he thought it was needed. He was also very easy to contact and responsive if he wasn't on site. The owner appears to take pride in his work which is a very positive attribute. While he was here since we were very happy with the end product we also had him quote us on some other possible projects. In short, while there is a decent wait time, it is definitely worth it."

Customers say: True professional

"I couldn’t be happier with the work done by Gutierrez Lawn Maintenance. We recently had them tackle a major backyard overhaul that included a full drainage solution, fresh soil, and new sod. The results are incredible and it feels like a completely different yard! They offered a very fair price and the quality of the installation was top-notch. If you’re looking for a team that is professional and delivers exactly what they promise, I highly recommend them."

"Aspect did a wonderful job bringing our vision to life! We needed a fence installed in our backyard two weeks before our wedding and Joe EXCEEDED our expectations. He was responsive, came out immediately for a free quote and scheduled the work to be completed within a week! His team came in and worked quickly and efficiently to give us a beautiful wooden fence in time for our big day! He even gave us tips on how to paint and take care of it. Two years later, the fence is still in great shape and we will be working with Aspect to complete our backyard vision- the deck is next! I highly recommend Aspect for all of your construction needs!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

Railroad ties can be good for retaining walls, but it depends on the area. They have a desirable rustic look and are durable. The problem is they’re treated with creosote, a preservative the EPA says poses a risk to humans and wildlife. Over time, the preservative seeps out of the wood and into the ground. Many areas have banned the use of creosote-treated wood on residential properties. If your area does allow it, never use railroad ties near an edible garden or drinking water source. Instead, use wood that’s treated with an EPA-approved preservative or a wood-alternative composite material.

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.  

Regular inspection for issues like cracks or leaning and ensuring drainage stays clear.
