"I could not be more pleased with the work performed. Frank, Alex and their crew replaced railroad tie retaining walls, removed all schrubs and finished area. They also reshaped the front beds in front of my home and installed river rock. From start to finish, everything was done as explained. Always on time, polite, left no mess. Would not hesitate to hire again."

"Frank was very responsive and very dedicated to the job. Frank dedicated all possible time and effort to completing the job, despite less than ideal weather conditions. He kept me informed at all times on the status and the steps needed. We actually added forty feet of Versaloc wall, which he completed quickly and matched the previous wall recently installed."

"Our old house on the Northside of Pittsburgh was in need of an exterior facelift and a new front porch to replace the one that had collapsed. I met with Dave LaBovick of Exceptional Exteriors and we agreed upon a price, which my wife and I found quite reasonable. The work on the vinyl siding began about a week later and took only a half a day to wrap up. The job was done to our complete satisfaction, The before and after is like night and day. Another crew arrived a few days later to do the porch and sidewalk. They began work on a Thursday afternoon and were finished 24 hours later. Once again, we are very happy with the result. In both cases, they removed all debris and left-over building materials associated with the job. We are not only completely satisfied with the work that Exceptional Exteriors did for us, we are looking forward to hiring them again for our next home project."

"We went to Omnipro for our patio and retaining wall. Greg was super helpful and very easy to talk to! It was nice seeing all the different blocks and pavers before making our purchase. I highly recommend you stop in and get your project started! My backyard looks amazing now!"

"To begin, I’m not typically someone who writes a review for a business, my dining experience, etc, regardless of my position being good or bad.  That said, however, I do find it necessary to write a review for Cargan Industries.   For years, I didn’t have a backyard.  I stepped out of my home and onto a concrete driveway, which lead to a 25’ hill and difficult access to a lower area, which was not a useable space. I finally decided the only way to utilize any of this space was to build retaining walls with steps to access the lower area. At that point, I began researching landscaping companies.  I received a few estimates, and the price tag was hefty, but I understood this going into the project.  Fortunately, a friend recommended I call Mike Swasey, the owner of Cargan Industries, which I did.   Upon contacting Mike, he was candid about his schedule and told me the earliest he could be there was the following week. At first I thought, “How bad do you want the job if you can’t get here until next week?”  I had to check myself though and realize that my project isn’t the only project out there.   Fast forward to the following week and Mike showed up on time and I explained to him the dilemma I was having and my thoughts on the project.  I almost immediately knew he was getting the job at that point. He not only listened to my ideas, but he began asking questions and making additional recommendations that I had not considered. I’ll chalk that up to lack of experience and vision on my end.   I believe things happen for a reason and I’m certain that recommendation from my friend was supposed to happen because I couldn’t have envisioned a greater outcome for this project.  The result was 20’ retaining wall, which provided me with a 2,000 square foot, level back yard. Additionally, I was able to build a detached garage that I had always wanted, but figured could never happen.   I’ll admit, there were some pain points throughout the process as the project turned out to me somewhat of a logistical nightmare due to the amount of materials needed and the lack of space on my property to stage them, along with the equipment needed to complete the project.  This was no fault of Cargan, but rather the limited amount of space I had available to them.  As I reflect back, it still seems unbelievable how Mike and his crew were able to maneuver about my property and complete this project.  My property looked like a construction site with the equipment, dirt, stone, blocks, etc., but they certainly never left it looking a mess when they left each day.   I watched the Cargan team clean-up their tools, my driveway, and even the road where they accessed my driveway to make sure I wasn’t catching any static from the neighbors.    Anyways, I remain so pleased that I can go on and on about my experience. This was the first project completed for me by Mike Swasey and Cargan Industries, which finished just over a year ago. Since then, I’ve had Cargan install a patio for my parents and a few other retaining walls.   Please, if you are considering an outdoor project, call these guys! The entire team is respectful, hard-working, and knowledgeable.     "

"What a wonderful experience we had with this company. I would highly recommend to anyone. A big issue I have is trusting people in my house when I’m not home. I had NO worries leaving this crew to do their work. It’s beautifully done and we are so happy and pleased with the outcome!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

If you don’t backfill a retaining wall—either at all or adequately enough—the wall won’t drain well, and water will be able to pass through it. Poor drainage will lead to a warped wall or a buildup of hydrostatic pressure, which can eventually collapse your retaining wall. If you have particularly sloped land, consult a structural engineer to ensure your hardscaping is adding value to your home.

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.

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.

Depending on who you hire to build a retaining wall, the average cost, including demolition and reconstruction, for a 50-foot wall that's 4 feet in height is between $7,000 and $24,000.
