"Mr. Terry was a well-spoken, knowledgable individual whom I was very confident in immediately after our first meeting for my free estimate. He was polite and explained his process to me in a way that I could better understand. It was very clear that he is serious and puts a lot of pride in his work. They were quick and efficient in repairing my roof and I have had no issues since. I highly recommend this company and receiving your free estimate from them."

"Wiliam Dixon Contracting was quick to respond to my inquiry. They gave me a bid and waited for me to get other bids. I hired them and they showed up when they said they would, they gave me an estimate on how long the job would take, they stuck within the estimated time frame. They were friendly, professional, punctional and they cleaned up any messes they made, ie screws, etc. I would definitely recommend this contractor and would use them again if I need work done on my home."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Costs depend on material type, labor rates, and additional features like decorative finishes or reinforcement.

Generally speaking, a retaining wall should be between 3 and 4 feet high, depending on variables such as the wall-building material, the purpose of the retaining wall, and more. If you want your retaining wall to be taller than 4 feet, check with your local building ordinance office for the maximum allotment. You may also need a special permit for retaining walls over 4 feet tall.

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