"Hired Tyler to excavate for a septic tank and to remove a few dead trees and brush. Everything went great, the excavation work was done in a timely manner and beyond expectations. Landscaping was also done in a timely manner with all brush and trees placed neatly into a pile and the holes from the trees filled in with left over dirt from the septic tank excavation and a little extra dirt brought in. Overall, Mr. Arigoni did a phenomenal job and I would not hesitate to hire him again or recommend him to a friend."

"Good communication. Speedy at getting me an estimate and completion of job. Only thing I did not care for was the soil around the driveway was not smoothed out so I am doing my best at smoothing it out now."

"I contacted JSE concrete to pour a garage floor. I had reached out to other concrete companies who would either say they would get back with me, but didnâ t, or would not respond to my messages altogether. Within a few minutes of messaging JSE I received a response. JSE promptly responded the following day to provide an estimate and started the project a couple days later. From day of first contact to job completion was literally around a week. I realize I was fortunate with timing due to weather and other job scheduling, but JSE was extremely prompt, courteous, and did not treat you like you were a bother but a valued customer. The quality of work was excellent and JSE went above and beyond by completing work they were not specifically paid to do and could have left for me to finish. I am very satisfied with my overall experience with JSE Concrete and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone and use them again for future services."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Poured concrete is often the cheapest material for a retaining wall, costing around $6 to $8 per square foot. Other budget-friendly options include vinyl and landscaping timbers, which range from $10 to $15 per square foot; landscaping timbers are particularly well-suited for DIY projects. Untreated timber and railroad ties are a step up in price, starting at $15 to $25 per square foot. Natural stones can also be a cost-effective choice if you can source them from your own property, but they can be expensive to purchase. High-end materials like steel are typically the most expensive but offer superior durability and aesthetics.

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.

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.

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.
