"Brock was able to remove a concrete driveway, install a dry well for drainage and then fill in with dirt for us to then lay sod. Everything was done well, we appreciate his work!"

"Everything went very well. The yard had become a real jungle, and over the space of a few days it was all taken care of. Everyone was professional, up front about the cost, prompt, and thorough. I am thinking of setting up a monthly or bi-monthly schedule starting in the spring to avoid the jungle issue again. They were great!"

Marty and Brian W. is who I work with the most - they’re very competitively priced, creative on new projects and trustworthy. I would not hesitate to recommend them."

"They removed a weed infested ground cover that was beyond manageable. Put down a double weed block later, installed river rock and plantings. They removed and replaced a retaining wall that was aging with beautiful stone blocks. They removed weeds and dead plants behind our house and landscaped it for easy maintenance. The workmen we're on time, worked hard and completed the job in the time promised. All workers were polite and courteous."

"Dave completed our driveway, a natural stone retaining wall in the backyard, and a paved porch. He suggested an exposed aggregate concrete with multicolored pebbles for the driveway, and it looks beautiful. What I especially appreciated about Dave is his attention to detail. When he leaves, he wants to make sure you are happy, but he also makes sure the work meets his own high standards. He ensured the driveway was level with the street so our cars wouldn?t ?scratch,? and he widened the sides so we could comfortably get out of our cars. The natural stone wall adds so much beauty to our backyard, and the cuts and pattern of the paved porch are perfect?you can really see the expertise in this installation. In a nutshell, Dave?s work completely transformed the look of our home."

"It went great. He came up with a great design. They had themes cleaned up in no time. He came in $1,000. less than another bid from Creech's for the same work. Did some mulching at no charge, providing the mulch and having his guys spread it. Even replaced the shovel the first group stole with a band new one. I love my wall and people who visit, just rave about the work and the way it truned out."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, 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.

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.

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.

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.

Costs range from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on size, material, and design complexity.
