"Keith quickly came to my house to take measurements and quote me for a brick-paver and concrete installation. After we agreed to a price, he allowed my wife and I to choose our paver color, style, pattern, and size from a recommended supplier. After the construction team showed up, it only took a half a day of preparation, and a day to install. They left no mess behind and always cleaned up at the end of each day. They even left me some sod and patched my yard as necessary to promote grass growth in bare areas! I was very impressed with this company and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for landscape/irrigation construction. Especially in Charleston during the summer months! Thanks Keith!"

"After a year of an absolute mess in my backyard due to pool installers not completing the work and refusing to come back we reached out JHS for help. They were very responsive, gave us a quote same day, and the work was completed a few days later. I can finally use my backyard and enjoy the pool that we spent thousands having put in. More projects to come and JHS will be the team I call for all of it. Exceptional customer service and attention to detail."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Installation typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the wall’s size and site conditions.

There are contractors specifically trained in the design and construction of retaining walls. Retaining wall contractors are skilled at dealing with the soil on your property and assessing what kind of drainage should be installed. They will recommend the best materials to use for the project and can handle the processing of permits by local authorities.
