"Graydon and Jacob have been great to work with and the wall was done as asked. Graydon even contacted the metal building company to make sure it worked for them and there were no issues. Glad to be making progress! Next is the slab for the garage."

"My biggest issue is the concrete is "Wavy" not even close to flat or level, (depression for water pooling) which I brought up as they were finishing the last couple pours of concrete. Not the finished product I paid for or expected. Left rigids in the lines they attempted to form, look horrible (not straight and again “wavy”) and most importantly those rigids are extreme sharp and dangerous for my children's feet. (He completely agreed with me on this matter said he would come back to fix/clean up) Lastly, they also left the edges on my new concrete pad and grass a complete mess, concrete is splatter on my house/windows, left messy concrete on my house foundation rather than clean up the transition, (Looks horrible) damaged my fence and didn’t tell me about it, didn’t fully clean up and utilized one of my kids buckets and never cleaned it out. Not that it’s a big deal, just shows lack of professionalism. Overall this job felt more like a DIY then a hired professional."

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.
