"I cannot recommend Joe and his crew more. They installed turf in our front yard. Also I wanted to break up the large grassy area so I had them put in a pygmy palm. They added pavers around the palm as well as the outline of the turf and a drip system to water the palm. I gave them a five-star rating but if I could, I would make it a 10! My husband and I searched through dozens of samples of turf and installers before we met Joe. We also looked at dozens of properties with turf installed but we were never happy with their installation because you could usually see seams and the turf looked fake. Then we met Joe. From start to finish he and his crew were awesome! Total professional, communicative, responsive, and diligent. The project started and finished on time. We used to hate looking at our front yard, now we stare at it! You cannot go wrong if you use Joe!"

"Really? So, you took the last of my payment due and threw these cheap plastic lights in my yard never connected them, and never came back? It was not my fault that you were 2 weeks late from completing the job and had to go back and readjust the retaining wall because your crewman built it crooked and you were upset because I wanted it done correctly so you and your crewman had to fix it and you still did not do it correctly. But I will say they are very polite until he received my money he did not want to complete the job my other electrical box was not installed he ignored my called and never answered and that was is but its okay... lesson learned: Never Give ALL The Money Until The Job Is Complete. Thanks For Nothing!"

"We were impressed from the very first day when Mario showed up—it was clear that he was reliable. He was sincere and thorough with the pricing. Although we were surprised when he asked us to pay extra for the dirt and requested it halfway through the job, we discussed it, and he agreed to settle the matter fairly. Mario consistently followed through on what he said he would do. He did a great job—especially considering that my business partner, Sarah, is extremely precise and particular when it comes to details and quality. For potential clients, I recommend clearly outlining the payment terms, who will provide the dirt, the type of concrete (PSI), whether fiber/rebar will be included, and the cleanup expectations. All of this should be clearly spelled out in the contract. Mario handwrites everything, which is fine—his handwriting is actually very neat. I’ve read some of the other reviews, and I agree—it’s hard to find honest contractors these days. Yes, I highly recommend Mario."

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. The creosote treatment in traditional railroad ties helps resist rot and insects, but proper drainage is essential for maximizing longevity. Regular inspections and prompt repairs of minor issues can help extend your wall's useful life.
Creosote-treated railroad ties can pose health risks if used near edible plants or children's play areas. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) notes that creosote may be harmful to humans and wildlife. Many localities restrict or prohibit creosote-treated wood in residential settings. For garden applications, consider alternative materials like recycled plastic composite ties or lumber treated with more garden-friendly preservatives.
The ideal drainage solution depends on your specific site conditions and wall height. For most residential applications, a combination of gravel backfill and perforated drain pipe works effectively.
A complete drainage system costs between $2,100 and $6,500, though basic solutions start at $500. Proper drainage prevents water pressure buildup behind your wall, significantly reducing the risk of failure and extending its useful life.
For walls under four feet tall on relatively flat terrain, you can proceed without engineering services. However, walls exceeding four feet, those on steep slopes, or projects with unusual soil conditions require professional engineering input.
A structural engineer can design appropriate footings and reinforcement to ensure your wall safely handles the lateral soil pressure it will face.
Railroad tie retaining walls start at $15 to $25 per square foot, with most projects averaging $25 to $30 per square foot, depending on complexity and site prep. This makes them more affordable than natural stone or concrete block walls initially.
While vinyl options may cost less upfront ($10 to $15 per square foot), railroad ties offer superior aesthetics and strength. Though they require more maintenance than masonry options, their lower initial cost makes them attractive for many homeowners.
