"Really strong recommendation for Josh. I have a house with a lot of stone and unfortunately about 10 pieces fell off this past winter. I called a few stone masons to quote the job and found each quote unrealistic for the amount of work involved. I found Josh through another contractor with whom he worked. Josh came out to the house and gave me a reasonable quote which satisfied my needs and, more importantly, paid Josh for the quality of stone masonry that he does. I am very pleased with the work and will definitely use Josh for all my stone masonry needs going forward. Definitely deserves 5 stars."

"I requested an estimate earlier in the week to trim up a broken set of branches that fell over my fence line. I got a callback very quickly to set a time/date for an estimate. They were able to fit me in the schedule the next morning and after giving me the estimated cost we scheduled the work for the following day. The process was quick and efficient; which was greatly appreciated for my situation. They showed up on time and got started pretty quickly. The group was professional and efficient. Nothing was damaged and it only took a couple hours to complete. Overall, very satisfied with the work that was done. It was fairly priced and I will keep them in mind for future projects. Thanks guys!"

I must give a 100% satisfied mark as you not only finished the job early and under budget, but with great sub-contractors and excellent workmanship. The job was done very efficiently and timely. I would recommend Forge Contracting to anyone and will welcome any calls or references."

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you can use cinder blocks for many purposes, including retaining walls, foundations, garage walls, and fences. Building a cinder block retaining wall costs between $60 and $200 per linear foot, including materials and professional labor. For a 30-foot-long retaining wall, the cost ranges from $1,800 to $6,000.

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.

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.

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.
