"Eli and his wife, Amy, were incredibly easy to reach throughout the process. Eli came out right away to look at the yard and give a quote. When it came to design, they were happy to consider changes to our original plans and made sure we got exactly what we wanted. The finished project looks great!"

"The entire job went very well. Dan and his crew arrived on time each day and did a beautiful job. I couldn't be happier with the results. The walkway he installed is stunning, and the plants that Dan selected are unique, eye catching, and very beautiful. His work is far superior to any other landscaper I've hired."

"Justin and his team also installed 2 retaining walls and were not only efficient and professional; the entire team were all polite and respectful. I cannot recommend GTZC construction enough for your patio and retaining walls. We have more work to be completed and I am confident in knowing our projects will be in Good hands!"

"JMZ Innovation did a great job on our front walkway. They removed the old concrete walk and poured a new concrete walk with the stamped concrete look. Very professional, courteous, and thorough. Would use them again and recommend them. In fact, my neighbor liked the work so much they had JMZ do the same thing for their back patio. 5 Stars."

"Nick Roch, the owner, was courteous and polite and worked well into the dark (with lights) to complete a fall cleanup and mowing the night before the first snow of the season. Nick's work was excellent, the cleanup job that he did for me in the dark was faster and better than I could do myself in full daylight!"

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, answered by experts

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.

The longevity of flood walls depends on how they were constructed, but most wood, gravel, and cement flood walls last 10 years. While aluminum flood walls may cost far more initially, they can be a good investment as they can last decades and will not be damaged by exposure to the elements.

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.

Sand and gravel are two suitable options for filling behind a retaining wall. If you’re building your own retaining wall, you’ll complete this part of the process—known as backfilling—after you finish laying the blocks. Make sure not to skip it—otherwise, you could wind up with drainage issues, which can cause your retaining wall to collapse.

Even if you think you know how to build a retaining wall 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.
