"Joe and Ape-Scapes are amazing!! After trying for over six weeks, to no avail, to find a responsive landscaping company to repair a sprinkler line, I finally found Ape-Scapes on Yelp! Joe called me back immediately and we got the appointment scheduled. He then located and fixed a tricky sprinkler line that had been penetrated by a tree root, causing none of the sprinklers in that area to work. The repair was completed professionally, quickly and affordably. I am downright thrilled with the results! Iâ m super grateful to have found Ape-Scapes and to have their landscaping expertise available. Thanks again, Joe and Ape-Scapes!"

"Patrick was exceptional to work with. We set up a time to assess the project and he was punctual showing up not only on-time, but slightly early. He and his partner got to work immediately and did a fantastic job with yard debris removal including removal of a large pile of un-used road base and dirt. I feel like the price I paid was slightly expensive, but I don't regret it for a second given how well and quickly the job was done."

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.
