Q: Can I build a retaining wall myself?

• <div><p>Even if you think you know <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-build-a-retaining-wall.htm">how to build a retaining wall</a> theoretically, doing the actual work is a completely different story. There are lots of nuances in building retaining walls, and the slightest oversight can compromise their integrity. Therefore, we recommend you hire a pro to build, repair, or replace retaining walls.</p></div>

Q: What is the cheapest way to build a retaining wall?

• <div><p>Poured concrete is likely the cheapest way to build a retaining wall, as this material costs anywhere from $6 to $8 per square foot. The next best budget-friendly option is to use landscaping timbers. These timbers are great for DIY projects, as they don&rsquo;t require tools to successfully build a retaining wall. Landscape timber costs around $10 to $14 per square foot. Depending on your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garden-styles-your-backyard.htm">chosen garden style</a>, you can also go with natural stones or concrete blocks. Natural stones can be expensive if you buy them, but they&rsquo;re a lot less costly if you can source them from your property. </p></div>

Q: What factors affect wall installation costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on material type, labor rates, and additional features like decorative finishes or reinforcement.</p></div>

Q: Are railroad ties good for retaining walls?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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&rsquo;s treated with an EPA-approved preservative or a wood-alternative composite material.</p></div>

Q: Why hire a professional to install retaining walls?

• <div><p>Proper design and construction prevent erosion and add structural stability to landscapes.</p></div>

Service was very good. Workers were very skilled in taking the old wall out as it was in a difficult place for the machinery to get to. Owner was on the job everyday and workers were pleasant and professional. New looks great!

Great workmanship in the retaining wall Mike and Steve built for me. Very professional and took extra care to not rip up the lawn nearby the work area. Also was proactive to spread the extra crushed stone material in the driveway which needed some attention. Will definitely hire again as my list...
