"Awesome. Beautiful job. Will call him again. Highly recommend Randy and Faucher Construction. I live in a condo so I have no way to dispose of building materials. Randy was very neat and removed all materials. Will be there when he says he will. Very responsible."

"We had an idea of what we wanted but had no real design. They took us thru every aspect of design and required materials to bring it to life. They presented a design with several options. We decided to go with theirs. So happy we did! Project turned out great and came in on time and in budget!"

"I asked if they could also drill wholes for the curtain rods and shade hooks and they took care of it. They broke a casing and bought new lumber and re-framed the door. They couldn't remove the old door knob and purchased another one to finish the job for me. They did not charge extra for the lumber or the time to install it."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

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. 

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.

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.

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.

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.
