"Once the concrete for the driveway was poured Mike came by asking for payment. I was confused because yes the driveway was done but my yard was completely destroyed. The end of the driveway was not draining properly which was leaving a giant puddle, not enough sod was laid compared to the amount of grass that was damaged, the rock bed was pushed back to make room for the wood to mold where the concrete would go and was not put back, there was trash everywhere to include wood, blocks of concrete, pavers (from what we had removed), water bottles, and cigarettes/cigarillos. I brought these concerns to Mike and he said that he would talk to the owner, Will. I was told that Will and a crew would be back out on Monday to fix the minor things and address the major problems (this was talked about on a Friday evening). Eventually, Will came out and briefly said that a plan would be made about the drainage issue. I asked about the sod and he said that it would be taken care of. A crew came back out 2 weeks after the driveway was poured to fix the issues. They made a couple more expansion cuts to help the driveway drain better, pushed the rocks back but did not lay the barrier fabric back at all and it is still sticking out of the top of the rocks, laid the sod down on top of dirt piles so that now my grass is drastically uneven and left big gaps in between the sod to try to cover as much area as possible. I still have large areas that still need sod and I'm left to have to now hire a lawn company to fix what was messed up/done improperly."

Our installations also include planter beds and retaining wall products that enhance and accent any project. Experience our Integrity and Service. Call or click for your FREE estimate today!
"I recently completed a large pool and deck renovation project with Surfside Pavers. The work involved the setting of more than 2500 square feet of large format 20 mm and 10 mm porcelain tile. The job was quite challenging for a variety of reasons but particularly because of the multiple elevations and the many complicated angles involved. I have to say it was executed to perfection. Surfside’s attention to detail was exemplary. I never saw anyone setting tile without simultaneously verifying their work with a large level. As a result, the tiles were all perfectly aligned with one another and the drainage of the deck was even better than promised. I particularly want to thank Keith Spalding for overseeing the project. He always made time to explain their plans and intentions and patiently answered my many questions. It was obvious he had complete control of the situation and was absolutely dedicated to making our vision a reality. I would recommend Surfside Pavers unreservedly. They have earned my respect, gratitude and all future business. Matthew Jacobson Satellite Beach"

FAQs for retaining wall installation projects in Merritt Island, FL
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.
