"***SCAM ALERT*** DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY We recently discovered that Jacob (owner/operator of Precision Grading and Hardscapes) knowingly installed a cheaper product than we paid for without our knowledge. When we caught him in the deceit (after the work was complete and paid for), he admitted wrongdoing and acknowledged that he would refund us the money to make it right. He originally told us that he would ONLY refund the money that he STOLE from us if we signed a non-disclosure agreement and took down existing negative reviews of his work on Google. We pushed back, because its neither fair nor right to ask for our silence. He finally agreed to forego the non-disclosure and refund us anyway, but weeks later he has not refunded us the money and has stopped responding to texts and phone calls. He also did this to our neighbor. We are now filing with small claims court and have contacted the police. I have posted a more complete review on the full scope of his work on google reviews."

"Bart was true to his word on every part of the project. I was pouring an extension to my driveway and an RV pad. They stacked the forms for the extension just as I had requested but then had a suggestion to slightly widen the entrance to the extension to make it easier to turn onto it with the RV. Of course this would require a little more concrete and cost. They never tried to push this, but allowed me to consider it. I took their advise and am so glad that I did! It would have been much more difficult to back the RV in without that slight widening. Bart had an amazing foreman for this job who knew his stuff and had a really hard working crew. They gave me a day and time and were there as they promised and finished when they said they would. I would definitely contact Bart again for any additional concrete work."

"I had a 5 star service and experience with WAHAB he was my pro that added a double door to my fence that I had put up from two years ago. He was honest and transparent on cost and gave me a new idea that saved me more money by not reconstructing one side of the fence, but instead taking what I already had and just creating a new entry & exit at a cheaper cost!!!!! And when I found some things that needed to be changed, we made an appointment and he returned and fixed everything in a timely fashion. Overall, he was very nice and professional and this company’s whole process went very well and smoothly. When a time comes from my other home projects, they will be the first one I contact.

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.
