We take great pride in the experience, expertise, quality, and customer service that we provide to meet the consumer's needs.

Our reputation is based on service, safety, and quality, regardless of how large or small the job is.

"I have hired David and David Jr. for 2 projects now. And I will be having them back again this springtime. They did an extensive Potager Rose Garden with walk ways of stone, incased in a stone wall with pillars. In the center is a 3 tier water fountain. It turned out exquisite. They helped me design the garden and gave such interesting ideas that I had not thought of. Their work ethic is stellar. They are honest , forthright and fair. And the quality of work is simply exquisite. They found large thick flat stones that were used as steps out of the garden that just added the final touch. Then to my surprise they added out door lighting that at night is just beautiful reflecting off the roses and fountain. They took my dream to the next level. The next project we did a stone walkway, patio and again, the same huge thick stone slabs for steps all the way around the patio. It is stunning . We will be adding a covered pergola to it this spring tying in the front and back yards with the same style and finesse. If you are looking for professionals that you desire to take your project to the next level, and to be fair in price and superb in quality of work, then this is the company for you. You can find workmen, but to find someone with the eye to design according the topography and to capture the esthetic of the house and land is not easy to come by. This spring we will be adding more walkways and extending a stone wall, and building more pillars making entrances to the barn and private drive. I would trust no other company with my property and my visions for this property, after having worked with them. I am assured you will feel the same."

FAQs for retaining wall installation projects in Leitchfield, KY

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.
