"Would not recommend for any project. Wanted more money than was agreed & walked off leaving his partner to collect payment. We agreed on $3,500 for labor & my husband would help as a go-fer, using our tractor to move the pre-built sections of deck, post hole digger & other tasks. We also provided a cement mixer & most of the hardware & lumber. The job started off wrong & went downhill. Since the deck was placed right at the edge of the house, there was no way to build a landing & tie in the ramp without going 6 ft. into the driveway. The 5 posts to attach the deck & roof, vary in distance apart by as much as 1 ft. The roof rafters vary between 24" & 28" apart, vary in length by 3" & most are on an angle. The roof overhang was to be 2 ft. but is only 16". The metal roof panels were cut too short & are uneven, so, no gutter. Now the faceplate & deck get soaked when it rains. After 4 days, Dean said he wanted $4,500 for the work done so far & extra for the stairs, landing & gutter."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.

Yes, including patterns, finishes, and plant integration for aesthetic enhancement.

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.

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.
