"Miller Concrete and Excavation did an outstanding job on our pole barn slab! They showed up right on time, worked with professionalism, and kept the job site clean each day. The quality was well worth the investment, and I’ll definitely be calling them again for future projects."

"Matt did a full septic installation on a new build house. He did a great job with the system, and gave flatter and more yard space after the system was put in. The grading and shaping of the land was superb"

"The crew was very professional and friendly and did a very good job. Some damage to our garage wall occurred and they immediately came out and repaired it. 
I would definitely use Nu-Crete again for concrete removal or installation.
A person who installs garage doors for a living happened to see our new garage floor and he said the floor was considerably better than most of the new floors he'd seen (presumably not installed by Nu-Crete) and he asked us for Nu-Crete's name so he could recommend them because he is often asked by homeowners for recommendations and until he'd seen this floor he didn't really have anyone to recommend."

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Installation typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the wall’s size and site conditions.

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.

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.

Each design is different, so we can’t say definitively if you’ll need a dedicated drainage system in place for a two-foot retaining wall. However, you can likely skip the drainage, as this project is typically served for walls that are 4 feet tall or more. Even with a relatively low wall, consider drainage if you are building on top of clay or poor-draining soil types or if there are buried water sources nearby, like a well used for other outdoor garden projects.
