"Nick and his crew were professional, thoughtful and thorough. They totally cleared out decades of trees, brush and overgrowth from around my house, and cleaned-up afterward. And they even responded to taking care of some last-minute wood clearing for me and my neighbor. They arrived exactly on time (also agreeing, at my request, to show up slightly later than they'd originally planned.) Nick even took extra effort to avoid chopping down a two-inch high hosta plant that I hoped would survive the near-by bush-chopping activity. I would certainly trust Nick's Four Seasons again in the future."

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."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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

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.

With foundation walls, the slab on grade and force at the top of the wall is resisted by flooring. With retaining walls, the force at the top of the wall is not resisted.

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.

A retaining wall can only function as a fence if it’s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn’t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall.
