"This company was referred to me by close family friends who also use their service. I hired them to apply a flash coat of closed-cell foam to my home in November 2020. The quote was easy, Beau and Cody were communicative and knowledgeable, and the work was done quickly and well. We were generally satisfied with the service, price, and product. Fast forward to April 2022: I reached out as a repeat customer to get a quote to apply closed-cell foam in my garage. They set me up for 2 quote appointments. 1 of which was without follow-up correspondence for 2 days. The second, they messaged me 40 minutes before the scheduled appointment to tell me they were running late due to another job. I had already made arrangements with my employer to leave early and left. That was May 10th. They never showed up and have not returned my correspondence (not answered calls, voicemails, or texts). It is now a week later and still nothing. I am not sure what happened between 2020 and now, but I would expect at least a minimum level of courtesy as a repeat customer who has referred them to other people as well. "

We pride ourselves on the quality of work we provide, while delivering great customer service! Check out all the services we offer below and call -or- click to schedule an estimate today!

"I decided to hire QC&R to install a concrete driveway for my Meridian Kessler home after interviewing multiple contractors. They were not the least or most expensive, but I made my decision for reasons beyond cost. This was my first major home improvement project, so I was a bit nervous. I had a strong gut feeling I would be satisfied, and I was impressed with their communication, professionalism, and the fact they are a family-owned, local business. I was not disappointed! Not only is my driveway beautiful, but the experience was positive from start to finish. The team was respectful, hard-working, and took great pride in their craftsmanship. Christian stayed in touch with me, proactively, and followed up promptly after I reached out to him. This business was very busy, and due to weather delays outside of their control, they faced obstacles. Nevertheless, they always made me feel like I was their most important customer. I will definitely hire them again for future projects."

FAQs for retaining wall installation projects in Franklin, IN

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.
