"Jose worked long hours in order to complete the project in a timely manner. He put thin brick on a 20 foot high wall in order to match the existing brick on our fireplace and then lime washed all of the brick. The before, and after pictures are dramatically different, and we are very pleased with the finished product."

"RC Concrete is the best concrete company in Abilene, hands down! They poured new concrete all around our lake house and we are so in love with the outcome! It is so clean and we couldn't be happier! Quality customer service is hard to come by these days, and this group of men went above and beyond our expectations! We will recommend them again and again! The crew did all the concrete work in a timely manner, which was even better! They were also very knowledgeable and engineered the concrete in a way that when it rains, all of the water drains away from the house where it used to do the opposite. We are so pleased and would recommend RC CONCRETE to anyone that is needing some concrete work done and we will use them again if the opportunity ever arises. Thank you RC Concrete for your diligent work and amazing customer service."

"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."

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 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. 

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.
