We offer only the best in quality workmanship and professional courtesy. We specialize in all phases of commercial and residential concrete work, with a focus on retaining walls. We are committed quality work and outstanding results & are strongly involved in local community activities. We look forward to working with you!

"Disappointing Outcome and Misleading Communication by Lonestar Landscape Management I recently hired Lonestar Landscape Management based on their timely and seemingly reliable service offer. I was disappointed in the outcome. Initially, my experience was positive; they showed up on time and brought the materials for the job. I was led to believe that I was in good hands. However, my satisfaction quickly turned into dissatisfaction. The core of the issue lies in the retaining wall project they undertook for my yard. Prior to starting, I was sent a text message with a picture stating that my retaining wall would look similar to the attached picture of a finished retaining wall with a cap and that my retaining wall would just be a different colors Unfortunately, the final product did not match the promised example. The workmen also damaged the backyard drainage system and did not repair it. After the crew declared the work â complete,I told the owners it looked unfinished. The owners informed me that the project looked unfinished because the crew ran out of materials so they returned to the job and installed more rock; however, the project still looked unfinished. The wall did not have a cap like the picture in the original text. When I told the owners the wall was not complete and did not look like the picture, I was told the picture was just sent to show me something â similarâ and to achieve the look in the initial picture would require additional services at an extra cost. They insisted that the discrepancies were due to the condition of my yard, not their craftsmanship, and claimed for the first time that further grading and enhancements were needed to achieve the look of the wall pictured in the original text.I am disappointed not only with the unfinished and messy look of the retaining wall and the damage to my drainage system but also with the companys lack of concern for customer satisfaction, follow-through and transparency. The service advertised and initially agreed upon was not delivered, and now I have to spend more money to get the result I already paid this company to do. The additional expenses and the hassle of dealing with their justifications have left me regretting my choice to hire them."

Retaining wall installations FAQs

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.
