"Ricardo and his team were very professional. We had our driveway widened with concrete pavers. They were extremely careful about the removal of dirt and grass in the area since we have a sprinkler system and underground landscape wiring. They also installed a drainage pipe under the pavers and the entire job looks fantastic. The team worked quickly and efficiently and cleaned the area thoroughly upon completing the project. Our experience with Outdoor Experts was great and we highly recommend them. "

"When he came to give the estimate he appeared more knowledgeable than others had, and he instilled confidence in us. We mentioned a few other things needing to be done and he had no problem with any of them, said they were not lengthy jobs, described how he would do them ( with his own machinery) and then gave a very reasonable price. Within a week he called to fit the job in before the rains, did a great job grading, seeding, pulling out a huge bush (which took a few minutes with his machinery), stuck to his pricing and left an hour before the storm hit. Very nice, knowledgeable, out-front guy I’d recommend to….everyone! "

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.
