Customers say: Quick response

"Where do I start??? This company is great! My husband and I were blown away by his professionalism and constant communication with us. Not to mention, how knowledgeable and punctual they were. He is not your average contractor :) He did everything he said he would do and all in a timely manner. In 4 days, the removal of our old deck and awning was taken down, a new deck was built, completed brick and stone pointing on the back and side of my home, last but not least.... made my garage look brand spanking new (stucco walls)! I am beyond pleased with the work done. If you want quality work at a reasonable price, Trinhs Construction is the way to go."

"John of Plymouth Nursery and Landscaping and his staff were wonderful. They did a terrific job cleaning up my property and planting all new beautiful shrubs and plants. Also installed a system to help with my water problem. My property was in desperate need of a face lift and John and his crew came through. I would recommend Plymouth Nursery and Landscaping!"

"It couldn't have gone better. We have been through two previous landscapers who were unreliable expensive and vanished on us. These guys are reliable and did a fabulous job on stage 1 of the new landscaping. We look forward to stage 2 and an ongoing relationshipship. They are helping turn our home into a valuable property and we are very satisfied. Thank you Tyler and Darcy, from Ed and Esther Beck"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Generally speaking, a retaining wall should be between 3 and 4 feet high, depending on variables such as the wall-building material, the purpose of the retaining wall, and more. If you want your retaining wall to be taller than 4 feet, check with your local building ordinance office for the maximum allotment. You may also need a special permit for retaining walls over 4 feet tall.

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.

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.  

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.

They prevent soil erosion, add flat space, and enhance property aesthetics.
