"Jon and his wife (the owners) were very pleasant to work with. He provided us with a very reasonable quote to install landscape curbing. It took 3 weeks longer to start than anticipated due to weather issues but not in their control. Jon and his assistant William were very professional and showed up daily until the job was done. It took a few days longer to complete than expected but nonetheless they worked diligently to make sure they were providing excellent service and quality. We would definitely recommend R&J Masonry"

"We got a 350 paver patio, firepit and seat wall in our back yard. We also had Chris and team fill in an empty area with weed barrier and creek jack (stone). We signed in July, and was told the calendar had us pointing to an October installation. With a very rainy fall, Chris's team kept getting delayed, but Chris did a great job communicating and discussing status with us. Winter arrived, and we didn't get installed until March, but again, Chris kept us in the loop, and I can't really blame him for the weather. Chris has a large backlog of work because of the quality, care, and craftsmanship of his work. He went above and beyond (adjusted some gutters for us, as well as added a pad of concrete at the bottom of our deck stairs to ensure we were setup correctly). If you want a paver patio, walkway, retaining walls, etc.. done right the first time, call Yanton's, they will do it right. We couldn't be more pleased with the patio."

"They made my ugly duckling yard into a beautiful swan. They worked hard getting out rocks and dead plants. They came up with a beautiful arrangement of perennials. They did everything with excellence. They put concrete under the border wall. They broke up an old concrete patio and repoured it correctly with good stones and rebar. It all looks so beautiful and was done with integrity. They were very polite."

"Very pleased with the project. Scott and his crew were outstanding, quality timely installation. The patio was installed in the back of our yard and equipment and materials had to go over front lawn and there was virually no damage to the lawn. Exceeded expectations."

"Mantz Lawn and Landscaping came out to the house to see what the issues were and discuss how to solve it. I had some ideas, and he was able to explain how my ideas would work or not. Suggestions were given for some areas, such as relocating a shed to another area of the yard to increase the yard space available in a section, and spotting some mold on the northfacing exterior wall that he was able to powerwash. He also helped fix the decking and created some paver areas where kids naturally walk to reduce wear and tear on the garden beds. The work was phenomenal. When we moved in, the moving company all loved and commented on our backyard, and I am so pleased with the front yard's curb appeal. There are a few elements that will have to grow into full completion (i.e. the crepe myrtle tree needs to actually grow from the sapling), and per my request he left space for me to happily add more plants. This was an expensive project because it was a LOT of work - nearly a month's work. But the landscaping really makes the perfect house into the perfect forever home."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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