"Hired this contractor for a driveway job and it was done poorly, looks like crap and is not smooth or level. The poured driveway is in two sections and gave one side a nice rippled effect that will trip you when you walk or make noises when my children ride a bike or scooter across it. And holds water terrible if it gets wet. We expressed our concerns to this business owner and were told ?with time it will flatten? or ?just get a snow plow and drive over it quite a few times it will flatten and smooth it out? or ?give it some time the more you drive over it, it will knock it down? None of those options are realistic and would actually work. We would NEVER just drive over it with a snow plow so we ignored that option. This business owner also stated they?d come over and grind the seam edges and put sealant to make the seams look better. This was completed and looks WAY worse now. The contractor did not offer to make it right and has never made it right to this day. "

We have 3 employees we don't all usually work, we do mostly tree topping but we remove tree and stumps also, we can do jobs as big as clearing out tree lines to just removing a tree dead or to close to the house. We use climbers mostly so we don't destroy yards with bucket trucks and spilling hydrolic oil everywhere.

FAQs for retaining wall installation projects in Mendon, IL
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.
