Q: Can I build a retaining wall myself?

• <div><p>Even if you think you know <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-build-a-retaining-wall.htm">how to build a retaining wall</a> theoretically, doing the actual work is a completely different story. There are lots of nuances in building retaining walls, and the slightest oversight can compromise their integrity. Therefore, we recommend you hire a pro to build, repair, or replace retaining walls.</p></div>

Q: How long does a retaining wall last?

• <div><p>The lifespan of a retaining wall varies based on its particular material, whether it was properly installed, how well it&rsquo;s maintained, and your local climate. Concrete, stone, and brick retaining walls last the longest, with concrete lasting between 50 and 100 years on average. Brick tends to last the longest, with a minimum of one century, under the right conditions. </p><p>Timber retaining walls can start to deteriorate at 20 years, depending on the wood quality, but in the best case, they can last 40 years. Pressure-treated wood retaining walls last 30 years on average.</p></div>

Q: What is the least expensive type of retaining wall?

• <div><p><b>Vinyl retaining walls </b>are often the least expensive type of retaining wall, at $10 to $15 per square foot. This budget-friendly material is lightweight and durable, but it doesn&rsquo;t have many decorative options. Untreated timber and railroad ties are the next step up, and start at $15 to $25 per square foot, respectively. High-end steel or natural stone tend to be the least wallet-friendly, but they&rsquo;re extremely durable and come with a high-end look.</p></div>

Q: How long will a railroad tie wall last?

• <div><p>Most railroad tie retaining walls have a life span of <b>20 to 30 years</b>, though you may need to replace your wall sooner if it&rsquo;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&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: What materials are available for retaining wall construction?

• <div><p>Options include concrete, stone, brick, and wood, tailored for specific design needs.</p></div>

The initial contact was very prompt. He arrived as scheduled. I requested a quote first but never received one. The installation was completed and done well. My only concern is that it was doors that we needed to replace the dead bolts and the handles. I was charged for 4 locks at $85.00...

The whole thing went pretty well. The installer had to leave in the middle of the job because he didn't have tape or a sanding block. But the install looks very nice and there is a lot of added light to a dark room.

The sump pump that Everdry had installed burned out on a Saturday. I called and the phone actually got answered. I was told I'd get a call back from someone within the company that could assist with my problem. Everdry told me they could send out a plumber to fix on that Saturday, but it would...
