"We hired concrete solutions to replace our driveway. A gentleman named John, visited our home and he seemed very knowledgeable and professional and assured us that he has been in business for many years and that we could trust and that he would do a good job. We initially were only going to do only a portion of the driveway but he convinced us to do the entire driveway. He also said he would do a couple of panels and sidewalks to the side of the driveway near the garage. Although, there was nothing wrong with those panels. Upon completion of the project, the driveway looked very attractive and we were satisfied with the driveway. We experienced a problem when it rains, especially when it rains hard. When there was a hard rain, the washer in the driveway blown like a river into our garage. We have lived in our home since 1982 and we've never had this problem. When we contacted John, he immediately become defensive and started yelling and was very mean and acted like a bully. He insisted that we have a problem before he replaced the driveway. He also called our daughter a liar when she told him we never had the problem before. He told us that we now needed a new garage floor and he would give us a deal on the garage floor. And instead of charging $4500 for the garage doors, that we would only charge $4000. Bottomline is this, we did not have a problem with water from the driveway coming into our garage and now we have a sever problem. We have to place multiple blankets in our garage to stock up the water when it rains. We are in our 60s and we have never written a bad review for anything in our lives and never sued anyone. We are very disappointed in Concrete Pro's LLC / Solutions and believe that they have made a serious error that has caused us a tremendous amount of stress. We regret that we felt it necessary to write this review but want others to be aware that John of Concrete Pro's LLC/ Solutions maybe disingenuous. They can form their own opinion but our experience has been very upsetting. Thank you."

"Met w John Shuleva, president - to get an estimate & some ideas on how to improve landscaping in back yard area. John arrived, but didn't seem too interested. I asked him to provide an estimate w scope of work, but he never provided this. When i followed up w him, he said they were busy & needed a few more days to provide estimate. They never provided an estimate, given the lack of interest I decided not to follow up a 2nd time. Not sure what the issues were, but given my experience I would not recommend them for landscaping services. Bottom line, I was disappointed in lack of interest & no follow up. Ernie Kulik"

"Kirk was great!! He listened to what my wife and I were saying and responded very well. We wanted old overgrown shrubs to be removed and replaced with shrubs that would not require much upkeep and trimming. He told us about evergreens that have various hues and sizes. He planted seven shrubs, there are three different hues and one shrub that will grow taller. Then put stone down as dressing for the bed. We could not be happier. A neighbor hired him to work on her landscape after she saw his work. Kirk and Rob were great!!!"

FAQs for retaining wall installation projects in Lakewood, OH
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.
