"My opinion: do not hire him. Alec walked off the unfinished job for "hostile situation". He causes his own hostile situations: with baby-yet to be born-mom, his own parent's-where he lives with mommy- so he'll go to grandma'- & dealing with other contractors). He walked off my job site. I paid over $22,900.00 (checks, services and materials) for a job that still requires his drywalling. He even left with material that I paid for. He complains that all his bank accounts are in the negative. Not my fault. He says it costs him $200 daily just for gas and food-$100 for @. He only lives 15 miles from job site. He's complained to me about all his home life hostile situations-twice where he was placed in hospital for mental eval-one with a firearm. I'm not his therapist. He placed his fist where it didn't belong that caused his hurt hand that prevented him for working for many weeks. He thinks he can place lien on property for services he hasn't earned He said he was upcharging all estimates"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Small retaining walls still require a foundation of some kind, typically a concrete footing. This helps to ensure the wall is structurally sound and prevents the ground from shifting over time, especially during those winter freeze/thaw cycles. The footing helps spread the weight of the wall and the load it carries over a larger area of the ground, thus assisting with stability. This is true of small retaining walls, larger rock garden walls, and the like. 

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.

To maintain the integrity of your landscape, a retaining wall must be installed if the slope of the angle exceeds 35 degrees. The lean of the wall must be 1 inch per 12 inches in height to disperse the weight of the soil uniformly and guarantee the correct drainage of the soil.

Poured concrete is likely the cheapest way to build a retaining wall, as this material costs anywhere from $6 to $8 per square foot. The next best budget-friendly option is to use landscaping timbers. These timbers are great for DIY projects, as they don’t require tools to successfully build a retaining wall. Landscape timber costs around $10 to $14 per square foot. Depending on your chosen garden style, you can also go with natural stones or concrete blocks. Natural stones can be expensive if you buy them, but they’re a lot less costly if you can source them from your property. 

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.
