"I recently had the pleasure of working with Ben and his team on a major concrete project at my property in San Mateo, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Our project involved constructing a 180-foot-long sidewalk and a 16-car garage driveway on a busy street, which required precision, organization, and expertise. Ben and his team exceeded my expectations in every way. From the very beginning, Ben was professional, transparent, and detail-oriented. He walked me through the entire process, including securing the necessary city permits and clearly marking all underground utility lines to avoid any issues. His attention to detail and proactive approach gave me complete confidence in his abilities. During the project, we encountered an unexpected challenge: two segments of a corrupted underground sewer line. Ben handled the situation with remarkable professionalism and flexibility. He coordinated seamlessly with my plumber, adjusting his team's schedule to allow for the replacement of a total of 40 feet of 3" sewer lines. Additionally, he replaced the incoming copper water line without any delays or complications. This level of collaboration and problem-solving truly set Ben apart. The execution of the project was flawless. Ben and his team were incredibly organized and committed to staying on schedule. They arrived early every morning and worked diligently until late afternoon, ensuring consistent progress. It was clear that Ben treated my project as a top priority, and his dedication as a project manager was evident throughout. The quality of their work is outstanding. The finished sidewalk and driveway are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. Ben's quote was fair and reasonable, and he delivered exceptional value for the investment. I am so grateful to have found Ben and his team. If you're looking for a reliable, skilled, and professional concrete contractor who can handle unexpected challenges with ease, Ben is the best person for the job. I will definitely hire him again for any future projects and highly recommend him to anyone in need of top-notch concrete work. Thank you, Ben and team, for making this project such a positive experience! Your expertise, flexibility, and dedication are truly appreciated."

Retaining wall installations FAQs
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.
