"The staff members came out to view the project and to provide a free estimate. The concrete driveway needed to be replaced. In addition to the driveway I requested a new walkway from the back gate to the patio. The work was completed in a timely manner. Once the Project was completed a staff member came out to review the completed work and addressed any concerns that I had. I am satisfied with the work that was completed and the cost."

"I am a handicapped veteran in a wheelchair. My request was for a wheelchair accessible ramp to exit the rear of my house. Jay Teams James, came out and evaluated measured and developed a ramp done to specifications safe an easy grade, and did not flinch when I added a request for ADA style rails. He did take the time to order those so that the install would run smoothly and did not gouge the price to install them. The ramp and patio are very well made, safe and my puppies and I are enjoying summer days and playing fetch and cooking burgers in the back yard. The puppies explained to me that hot dogs would make them cannibals. I recommend Jay Team highly."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

While vinyl is the least costly material for building a retaining wall, the most cost-effective method is to use wood or concrete blocks for a DIY retaining wall under 2 feet tall. Wood is inexpensive but lasts 20 years or more with care. Concrete can cost a little more but is stronger and will last longer with less maintenance.

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.

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.

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.

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.
