"Nicolas constructed a large retaining wall behind our house. He previously did two smaller walls for us in the front of our house. His price for the job was very competitive. He is a good communicator, ensured he understood exactly what our vision for the wall was and had meetings with us during construction to make sure we were all on track. Very happy with the result and clean up and grass seeding all complete and done well."

"Zack Mitchell, Nyles and David did a good job installing push piers along one side of my house. Before the work, the foundation wall was out of plumb by an inch. Afterwards one part of the wall was plumb while another section was only approximately 3/8" out of plumb. Overall, I'm happy. I have piece of mind this portion of the footing/foundation wall is stabilized. If there are any problems I know Tar Heel will comeback out to make any adjustments."

"Schedule for Monday, finally arrived late with only time to assess the project, quote the work, then scheduled for yesterday (Thurs.)at 1:00 to do the work, I haven't heard from him since. I've just about had it with home adviser. I can';t seem to get anyone to do anything regardless of area of expertise or specialty. Need a reliable handyman right now. EDIT Marcus & Torrell arrived on Saturday around noon to complete the job. Nice guys, cooperative, and able to be flexible to overcome unforseeen"

Wall Repair questions, answered by experts

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.

Small retaining walls still require a foundation of some kind, typically a concrete footing. This helps to ensure the wall is structurally sound and prevents the ground from shifting over time, especially during those winter freeze/thaw cycles. The footing helps spread the weight of the wall and the load it carries over a larger area of the ground, thus assisting with stability. This is true of small retaining walls, larger rock garden walls, and the like. 

Sand and gravel are two suitable options for filling behind a retaining wall. If you’re building your own retaining wall, you’ll complete this part of the process—known as backfilling—after you finish laying the blocks. Make sure not to skip it—otherwise, you could wind up with drainage issues, which can cause your retaining wall to collapse.

Yes, to build a retaining wall, a permit is required. Similarly, any repairs or modifications to an existing retaining wall require permits. If the planned wall measures higher than 4 feet, most municipalities require designs and permits come through a licensed engineer. In some locations, if the wall is shorter than 4 feet, a permit may not be required. For the requirements in your area, contact your local government.

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