"Super job and started on time. They did a great job on both projects - both the driveway and the section of the driveway they underpinned with a great looking retaining wall."

"Willy showed up as promised to do an estimate. I was looking for a bathroom remodeling solution that would not require removing all of the existing wall tile from the 1960s. Willy suggested a much more reasonable solution than another contractor who did an estimate because he replaced the old tile around the new tub with decorative tile to give the whole bathroom a newer look. He actually completed the whole job while I was out of town on vacation, which saved me time getting the house on the market. He was very professional in all of my dealings with him. My only complaint is that his crew did not haul off the trash from the remodeling job.

"Brandon and Scott did a great job! This is the third landscape lighting project I’ve had done (work relocations). I had an idea on what I wanted and they helped pull it all together while keeping the price right. They were able to fit me in their schedule the next week. Once they completed the install they came back out to make adjustments to ensure I was pleased! Would gladly recommend to others."

"That service was fine. A week ago they took down a big tree and trimmed a couple. At least 4 came out and they stayed for about 3-4 hours. They did a good job and did what they said they were going to do. They also cleaned up well."

"They came out and did a good job. I wouldn't buy it again. It was fine. I don't remember there being a problem. We still had stuff in the backyard that we had to get rid of ourselves. It was just how the deal was."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

If you don’t backfill a retaining wall—either at all or adequately enough—the wall won’t drain well, and water will be able to pass through it. Poor drainage will lead to a warped wall or a buildup of hydrostatic pressure, which can eventually collapse your retaining wall. If you have particularly sloped land, consult a structural engineer to ensure your hardscaping is adding value to your home.

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.

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.
