"Brian and his crew did an OUTSTANDING job revitalizing & updating an old retaining wall and adding a beautiful new wood fence. Due to the rain & extreme heat we had, the project ran a little late in completing. But we were in no rush! The communication was wonderful, Brian helped with picking out materials & colors, and was even OK with us adding on a few extras. They were very careful around my lilies and lilac tree, which was a HUGE plus for me. We even had neighbors who asked for quotes! Very, very pleased with the whole experience with them, and will hire them again for the next project!"

We Use Traditional Mudjacking Methods and Polyurethane Methods Depending On Your Specific Need. Mudjacking- The Process of raising and leveling concrete by pumping or injecting a mixture of water, sand, soil, cement under a settling slab. The mixture often referred to as "mud" or slurry, cures to create a stable fill. The slurry will fill the voids and the pressure will build to push the concrete up back towards original position. The hardened mix will be lighter than concrete but more stable than the soil underneath. We also use the polyurethane method of correction. Also known as: mud jacking, concrete lifting, concrete leveling, concrete raising, grout pumping, slab jacking, grout filling, void filling, poly-jacking, foam jacking.
"Excellent job. Explained what was going to be done and the preparations needed of the jobsite beforehand. Completed the work in a timely manner, cleaned up the jobsite afterwards and showed me the work completed. I compared their estimate to others and it was very reasonable since others wanted to charge an exorbitant amount that was anywhere from 2-5 times the estimate I received from them for a basic mudjacking job that takes 1-2 hours. The pictures that are attached are 1 before and 1 after. The concrete is still wet from them literally just completing the work, but they were able to lift the steps all the way back up to their original position. Recommended."

I started Asphalt Wizards in 2002. Previously I have been a foreman with two other asphalt companies here in the Kansas City area. My experience and knowledge assures your paving needs will be handled with utmost care and professionalism. I look forward to hearing from you. - Parrish Love, Owner & President
"After contacting through Angie's List waited 2 weeks and was never contacted. Called the office and spoke with a young lady about getting a quote and did not receive a call back until the end of the week. Quote given for an asphalt drive was the same price for having them do a concrete drive. Compared to their competitors asphalt drive in that region they are way over priced and even their concrete quote turned out to be almost 800 hundred higher then everyone else"

"Billy work great with us, providing a unique front landscape design for our newly constructed home. He was very flexible incorporating our thoughts on our plants along with his design. He and his crew completed the landscape, rain gutter drainage pipe to keep water away from the house and did a complete lawn irrigation system using the lake water for supply. He worked jointly with us and our neighbor for some joint water drainage. We have had numerous people asking who did our landscaping as it has good curb appeal. We have Paradise open and close our irrigation system and they are now doing 5 of our neighbors too. I would highly recommend Paradise Landscape."

FAQs for retaining wall installation projects in Kansas City, MO
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.
