"So two years after New York Unique cemented my driveway and sidewalk by the attached pictures you will see i am forced to have the work redone. After 2024 winter the cement started to break apart, after this winter 2025 it?s even worse and i'm embarrassed every time I step outside my home and see my driveway and sidewalk. When I complained to the owner he came by February of 2024 to discuss the issue i?m having. He told me that he could never guarantee the quality of the cement. I shot back that he never once stated this prior to taking my money which amounted to over $20,000 which I took out a loan because I wanted this work done. The owner then suggested i call the cement company and make a complaint regarding the quality of cement. My response was that I did not sign a contract with the cement company i signed a contract with New York Unique contractors. He stated that he would speak to his provider and get back to me. This was 12 months ago! Be careful with this company!"

FAQs for retaining wall installation projects in Elmhurst, NY

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.
