I am a Handyman / repair consultant. If you have something that needs repaired, call me before getting an expensive plumber, electrician, HVAC tech, etc. I have a lot of experience working with my hands. Grew up having to fix our own things to get by, and eventually got to a point where I do everything myself to make sure it is done right.\n\nThere are repairs that must be performed by a licensed professional. Though I don't have a license for them, I do understand the work, and can help you understand what needs to be done in order to prevent you from being over-sold when they show up. \n\nI have built lots of furniture (IKEA, Amazon, up to custom builds), built and rebuilt picket fences, changed door knobs and locks, installed glass doors, installed smart switches, changed light fixtures and fans, replaced hard wired smoke detectors, some appliance repair, repaired irrigation systems, repaired and replaced toilets and garbage disposals, repaired leaking faucets, changed water heaters.. I could spend all day adding to this list. I've worked on basically everything in some form or fashion.

Wall Repair questions, answered by experts

Generally speaking, a retaining wall should be between 3 and 4 feet high, depending on variables such as the wall-building material, the purpose of the retaining wall, and more. If you want your retaining wall to be taller than 4 feet, check with your local building ordinance office for the maximum allotment. You may also need a special permit for retaining walls over 4 feet tall.

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. 

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.

Railroad ties can be good for retaining walls, but it depends on the area. They have a desirable rustic look and are durable. The problem is they’re treated with creosote, a preservative the EPA says poses a risk to humans and wildlife. Over time, the preservative seeps out of the wood and into the ground. Many areas have banned the use of creosote-treated wood on residential properties. If your area does allow it, never use railroad ties near an edible garden or drinking water source. Instead, use wood that’s treated with an EPA-approved preservative or a wood-alternative composite material.

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.
