"We had an in ground pool installed, however we live on a hill and needed to surround our pool and fencing with a retaining wall. We had several estimates from other companies..We went with Sean because he really had a handle on what needed to be done and made us feel at ease with his expertise and know how.. Sean and his son are a real team.. The job from start to finish was 1 week..100 ft.of retaining wall 4 1/2 feet tall.. Including steps and lighting all around the wall. I would recommend Sean his son & crew for all jobs large and small when it comes to hardscaping and landscaping.. The price is more then fair and the workmanship is a 5 Star Rating."

"Job was completed in short order. Basement is completely, FRP paneling was installed and looks great throughout. My only complaint is that there was a ton of concrete dust left behind, both in the basement and tracked through the family room. I would still recommend them."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, 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.

Options include concrete, stone, brick, and wood, tailored for specific design needs.

The lifespan of a retaining wall varies based on its material, installation quality, maintenance, and local climate, with an average range of 20 to 100 years. Retaining walls made from durable materials like concrete, stone, and brick generally last a minimum of 50 years. Concrete walls typically last between 50 and 100 years, while brick can last for over a century in ideal conditions. Timber retaining walls can last from 20 to 40 years, depending on the wood quality, and pressure-treated wood walls average around 30 years. It is important to note that a retaining wall can fail prematurely if it was poorly constructed, for example, with inefficient footings or without necessary rebar reinforcements.

Generally, a railroad tie retaining wall consisting of a single line of ties should be between 3 and 4 feet tall—and the height often tops out at around 6 feet. You can go taller, but you may need additional footings and reinforcements, including a second layer of railroad ties to support the added weight of the soil it’s holding back.

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