"We found David and team to be professional and knowledgeable. We have a HOA, and he provided documentation that we needed. He waited patiently for HOA approval of the project and then put us in line for the project. David stayed in line with our budget and alerted us of issues. We love our backyard pavers and retaining wall!"

Customers say: Quality work

"Mike and his crew did an amazing job transforming my yard into the yard of my dreams. I had originally contacted them to grind some stumps, but had long term plans to address the drainage issues in my yard. They helped me create a plan to install drainage, a retaining wall, lighting, and new plants in the back as well as beautiful dry rock river beds on the sides and in front. My yard is now the envy of the neighborhood!!"

"Great company and team to work with. We requested a retaining wall for the front of our home, metal edging for the sides and back, some intensive weeding/mulching, and some concrete pavers to install in one section. It was a complex job, but the Soto team was very well priced. More importantly, they are incredibly honest. Rigo reached out early and let me know we could save a huge amount of money if we ordered the pavers and river rock on our own, since the company would order in bulk quantities larger than we'd actually need. Then, when it was time to install they brought a huge team in and finished the entire process within a day and a half. The whole team was kind and patient with me (I know very little about landscaping) and it was a very comfortable process. Multiple neighbors have already reached out impressed with the quality of work! They fully deserve a 5 star and I'll be sure to call them for future landscaping needs too."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

If you don’t backfill a retaining wall—either at all or adequately enough—the wall won’t drain well, and water will be able to pass through it. Poor drainage will lead to a warped wall or a buildup of hydrostatic pressure, which can eventually collapse your retaining wall. If you have particularly sloped land, consult a structural engineer to ensure your hardscaping is adding value to your home.

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.

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.

Most retaining wall installations can be finished in one to three weeks, but the timeline varies based on factors like wall size and material. The local climate and major weather events, such as storms or flooding, can also extend the project's timeline, as can any holds ups in the permitting process.
