"Don is extremely polite, knowledgeable, and completed the job in no time. The shutters look fantastic. He washed them and touched up the paint during installation. His price was very reasonable. We will be calling him for our future remodeling projects."

"I deal with small, family-based contractors on home improvement projects often. It was a pleasure doing business with United Paving and Masonry. These guys did an amazing job ripping out my wonky asphalt driveway, eliminating the tree roots that caused the bubbles, and then laying a smooth, solid new surface. They went the extra mile by offering design solutions. I wasn’t left wondering when they would show up as their communication (even with some weather curveballs) was always solid. Worth every dime."

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

Generally speaking, a retaining wall should be between 3 and 4 feet high, depending on variables such as the wall-building material, the purpose of the retaining wall, and more. If you want your retaining wall to be taller than 4 feet, check with your local building ordinance office for the maximum allotment. You may also need a special permit for retaining walls over 4 feet tall.

Through proper drainage solutions and compacting the foundation soil.

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.

DIY is possible for small projects. Professional installation ensures structural integrity and durability for larger walls.

Most retaining wall installations can be finished in one to three weeks, but the timeline varies based on factors like wall size and material. The local climate and major weather events, such as storms or flooding, can also extend the project's timeline, as can any holds ups in the permitting process.
