"PCM CONSTRUCTION LLC. Exceptional work and design options with a fair price! My project was $3500 less than Palmetto Landscaping and Designs, LLC in Summerville quoted me. Israel, the owner, was timely in all communications and completed my entire patio paver project in 2 days. Highly recommend!"

"This is the fourth project that Distinctive Irrigation has been hired to do for my yard. They did my irrigation 3 years ago. Two paver patios 2 years ago. Last month they added a drip line zone for my new garden boxes that I built. And today they repaired my paver patios that my neighbors trees caused an issue with. Every project has gone smoothly (weather permitting) and every project the owner has been at. The crew is always professional and I value his opinion on everything I do when it comes to my yard. I'm an older female and I appreciate when I find a group of tradesmen who won't try to take advantage of me. Distinctive Irrigation has my loyalty for the great work they put into every project and how they continue to make my yard beautiful year after year. I've already hit him up for my Fall project, drain pipe installation. One of my coworkers hired him for that and had no flooding there after."

"First time they showed up promptly, did a great job, and were very professional. The second and third time they completely missed the promised time, once by more than a week. They still did a good job but they are not reliable. I would not reccomend."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

With foundation walls, the slab on grade and force at the top of the wall is resisted by flooring. With retaining walls, the force at the top of the wall is not resisted.

The lifespan of a retaining wall varies based on its material, installation quality, maintenance, and local climate, with an average range of 20 to 100 years. Retaining walls made from durable materials like concrete, stone, and brick generally last a minimum of 50 years. Concrete walls typically last between 50 and 100 years, while brick can last for over a century in ideal conditions. Timber retaining walls can last from 20 to 40 years, depending on the wood quality, and pressure-treated wood walls average around 30 years. It is important to note that a retaining wall can fail prematurely if it was poorly constructed, for example, with inefficient footings or without necessary rebar reinforcements.

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.

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.
