"We needed a retaining wall to help with drainage issues in our backyard. It was a huge job and we definitely needed a professionals help. In comes Ely and his crew from CQS Construction to save the day! The entire process was smooth and enjoyable, which says SO MUCH about their team! Ely came out and gave us a very reasonable quote for the required work within a day of my request. Ely and the crew showed up when they said they would, brought the necessary materials, worked super hard and made my vision come to life. We also decided while they were there to have them pour a concrete slab for our shed because of how great the wall was turning out. They were respectful of our property and left the place impeccably clean. I can not say enough about how much we appreciate their work! We already have another project planned with this company. If you're in the market to have some work done, please don't hesitate to contact them! 10/10 would hire again! Thanks Ely!"

"The contractor did an excellent job installing our stone retaining wall. The craftsmanship is solid, with attention to detail in both the stone placement and overall structure. The project was completed on time and the worksite was kept clean. The finished wall looks fantastic—highly recommend."

"John Bustos literally came to our rescue when a previous contractor walked off the job. We were so pleased with the results in front (porch and sidewalk) that we asked him back to do fencing, retaining walls, and patio refurbishment. He’s a man of high integrity and he has my highest recommendation."

"I am very glad that I finally found a go-to landscaper! I got more than 6 bids and Jeremy was the only one that actually provided design pictures overlaid with plants and installation of retaining walls and rocks. That made it so easy to visualize what the final results will look like. He did all that before I decided to work with him! On top of that, his price is also very reasonable. He was very responsive, flexible and patient. His crew works hard and are easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend!"

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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.

Small retaining walls still require a foundation of some kind, typically a concrete footing. This helps to ensure the wall is structurally sound and prevents the ground from shifting over time, especially during those winter freeze/thaw cycles. The footing helps spread the weight of the wall and the load it carries over a larger area of the ground, thus assisting with stability. This is true of small retaining walls, larger rock garden walls, and the like. 

Depending on who you hire to build a retaining wall, the average cost, including demolition and reconstruction, for a 50-foot wall that's 4 feet in height is between $7,000 and $24,000.

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.

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.
