"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

DIY is possible for small projects. Professional installation ensures structural integrity and durability for larger walls.

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.

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.

Costs range from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on size, material, and design complexity.

The lifespan of a retaining wall varies based on its particular material, whether it was properly installed, how well it’s maintained, and your local climate. Concrete, stone, and brick retaining walls last the longest, with concrete lasting between 50 and 100 years on average. Brick tends to last the longest, with a minimum of one century, under the right conditions. 

Timber retaining walls can start to deteriorate at 20 years, depending on the wood quality, but in the best case, they can last 40 years. Pressure-treated wood retaining walls last 30 years on average.
