Since 2001, Carlos Landscaping has provided Anchorage and Surrounding Areas with beautiful landscaping and great customer service for families to enjoy. We offer several services to our Alaskan customers ranging new lawn installation, planting trees, shrubs and flowers to snow removal in the winter months. We stand behind our work. Our commitment is to provide the best services at a reasonable rate for our customers.
"It didn't go at all. Carlos came out in May, told me he would do the job, told me to buy a pond liner and then he'd get to it. So, I spent $350 on a pond liner. Waited. And waited. Texted Carlos multiple times. No answer. Finally called him, he actually answered (this was June) and told me I was next on the list, as soon as he finished his current project. But still no estimate. I gave up calling and texting. It is now late September, and still no response. Thanks a lot, Carlos."

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.
