"Can’t say enough good things about 2DD Construction, highly recommend and will hire them again in the future - Eladio and his team redid a retaining wall - which was a big, big job- I had different/other contractors come see the wall but Eladio was responsive, straight forward, knowledgeable, and didn’t just offer patch work or workarounds. Throughout the project they were on schedule, professional, honest and did an excellent job. Mr. Eladio and his team did the work exactly as described, I would highly recommend and plan on working with them in the future."

"Nature Redesign tackled my stone paver walkways (one in front and then in my backyard), stone paver patio and stone paver air conditioning pad. This project was not an easy one. They had to dig up my old broken and cracked concrete patio and ac pad without the use of machinery (old fashion hard labor) move the stones that make up my entire backyard (what we call a Arizona yard-no grass) to lay the stone pavers for the walkway and remove the concrete from the front walkway (again all hard labor). They did not shy away from this job where others did. Joe promised to get my old concrete ac pad removed and install the new one prior to the installation of my new ac unit. He kept his promise and completed all of the jobs within a week. My backyard now looks park like. I would definitely hire Joe/Nature Redesign for my hardscape/landscape projects and recommend him too."

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.

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

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.
