"This was a big project, with patio, walkways and retaining walls. Their work was flawless, timely and artful. Everything from estimate to scheduling was professional and all estimate adjustments were clear and fair. Cliff and Jonathan checked in every day, and I cannot overstate how much we appreciated that. Five stars all the way."

"The crew from Sunrise Landscaping & Tree Removal were total professionals who did an outstanding job. I was worried about the tree being close to my house, but they relieved my fears by their "top-notch" attention to detail. I would absolutely hire them again and recommend them to anyone who asks."

"They went to extra trouble to ensure we had the pavers we wanted despite the manufacturer having closed out the item. The two-man work team did an exceptionally good job and made very nice adjustments needed to fit a pre-existing retaining wall boundary. Overall, very pleased with their work."

"Elias Contruction provided a detailed estimate after inspecting the roof and making some qualified recommendations. The project required a few change orders that were not clarified in writing. I would recommend hiring Elias if you get changes in writing. They cleaned up pretty well although they missed a few things due to finishing in the dark. Overall satisfied with the job and cost was 60% of other bids due to sheathing adjustment."

"Randy and his team did an excellent job with my little project. He worked hard to work me into his busy schedule. The wall looks Great! He was easy to speak with and the only thing I wish he would have done better was to have communicated with me about the time line of the job. But yes - Great Job - Great Guys!"

"Hired them for approx 350 sq ft patio. Work was done quickly and exactly as requested for quoted price. They aren’t one of the big guys for whom jobs aren’t personal. They appeared to truly care that I liked their work. I would hire them again."

Retaining Wall Installers FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

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.
