"Extremely professional! Met with us many times before our project started to ensure they had every detail planned. The workers were extremely courteous, showed up ion time, cleaned up the work area every evening. Worked quickly and efficiently. They did a wall and patio around a new pool that looks amazing, high quality work. Landscaped the entire yard surrounding it. The work was impeccably done! We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Scaped Outdoors and highly recommend them!"

Customers say: Quick response

"Pete and his team were phenomenal. They totally transformed my yard adding. a boulder wall, lots of additional usable flat space and a fantastic design. Pete was very knowledgeable and had a great vision for my project and shared lots of ideas. The pricing was fair for the amount of work performed. The project was completed under budget and in a very timely manner. Pete and his team were reliable and got back to me quickly. I really appreciated the quality of the boulders so much that I had another contractor purchase boulders from Pete for my next project."

"The previous retaining wall was in rough shape. They gave us a competitive quote, came in on price, and did a fantastic job. They were very transparent about what needed done and how they planned to complete the work. We intend to have a patio installed in the next few years and will absolutely be using Wall Structures for the work."

"Everything went great from initial estimate through cleanup! This company was referred to me by a friend whose metal roof they had installed. Everything they did was professional, courteous & on time from beginning to end. The estimate was honest, accommodating and low pressure, the office was friendly, the workers were prompt & worked hard. Everyone was super easy to work with. Plus they did the work that some others weren’t interested in looking at bc it is a shared garage."

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.

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.

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.

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.

DIY is possible for small projects. Professional installation ensures structural integrity and durability for larger walls.
