"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

Proper design and construction prevent erosion and add structural stability to landscapes.

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.

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.  

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.
