"We had an awesome experience working with TMV Concrete! Tali (owner) and his crew were professional and did amazing work. We hired TMV initially for a concrete driveway and we loved their work so we ended up adding a patio and a new wall to our back yard. We absolutely love it and have recommended Tali to many of our friends and families. He was so easy to work with definitely worth every penny invested. Thank you for bringing our vision to life. Will definitely work with TMV again."

"Richie installed a side walk and sport court for pickleball and basketball in our backyard. He really listened to our ideas and plans for our yard and helped us to make it happen. Richie listened whenever we brought up any questions or concerns and addressed them promptly. The finished product looks amazing and we love it. We would hire him again!"

"Franklin is the nicest hardest working man I have ever met. He did everything by hand and was on site everyday. He did my retaining walls, grass, sprinkler system, landscaping and fire pit with pavers. He also did my vinyl fencing. His prices were half of my other quotes. I have a half acre. I will use him again in the future."

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.

A retaining wall can only function as a fence if it’s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn’t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall.  

To maintain the integrity of your landscape, a retaining wall must be installed if the slope of the angle exceeds 35 degrees. The lean of the wall must be 1 inch per 12 inches in height to disperse the weight of the soil uniformly and guarantee the correct drainage of the soil.

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.

The lifespan of a retaining wall varies based on its material, installation quality, maintenance, and local climate, with an average range of 20 to 100 years. Retaining walls made from durable materials like concrete, stone, and brick generally last a minimum of 50 years. Concrete walls typically last between 50 and 100 years, while brick can last for over a century in ideal conditions. Timber retaining walls can last from 20 to 40 years, depending on the wood quality, and pressure-treated wood walls average around 30 years. It is important to note that a retaining wall can fail prematurely if it was poorly constructed, for example, with inefficient footings or without necessary rebar reinforcements.
