"We are extremely impressed with our new deck and fence.  Working with Steve Edwards and his team was very easy and an overall great experience.  They were very responsive to all our needs and delivered a product that far exceeded our expectations. The quality and craftsmanship in their work speaks for itself!  I highly recommend Powerhouse and will definitely use them for future projects.
Thank you Powerhouse for a beautiful deck and fence!

"The owner came out the day I contacted them to give us a quote. The quote was more than reasonable and they said they could begin work right away. The wall was build, sanded, painted and trimmed to match the walls around it. It took a total of two days to complete and they cleaned up once they were done. They were very professional and reasonable on pricing. I would 100% hire again for any job I have around my house."

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, 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.

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.

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.  

Each design is different, so we can’t say definitively if you’ll need a dedicated drainage system in place for a two-foot retaining wall. However, you can likely skip the drainage, as this project is typically served for walls that are 4 feet tall or more. Even with a relatively low wall, consider drainage if you are building on top of clay or poor-draining soil types or if there are buried water sources nearby, like a well used for other outdoor garden projects.

Costs depend on material type, labor rates, and additional features like decorative finishes or reinforcement.
