"Ladio and his team created a cement patio under our elevated deck and then installed flagstone slate over top. They created a beautiful living space where there was just dirt. They also put flagstone inside the sliding door in our downstairs great room. They did a beautiful job. Better than I could have imagined. They were prompt and finished the job in good time, cleaning everything up once they we finished."

I have been in business for over twenty five years , I grew to a large co with over tweeny employees and I felt I was loosing the reigns on control of quality and experience setting my co. Above my competition I take pride in my work and knowledge of remodeling and pai noting needs I attended the art institute of Philadelphia for visual communications which I believe gives me the artistic edge my competitors simply don't have I will not try to beat prices you received from other. Contractors I know the right products and right way to do the job and always make sure to get a detailed description when getting estimates Paint house does not say whether or not they will pressure wash (2700 p.s.I. minimum),scrape , putty, replace damaged wood where necessary, primer one coat or just bare wood Anyway comparing apples to apples there's only a handful of capable insured companies in the area yes I'm sure you can get it done cheaper but you'll never beat out my experience or quality So if you want job done correctly and meticulously by a local artist with plenty of happy customers you can talk to about their experience with our co.I'm one of the best choices you can make

My abilities and skills afford me to do most work on my own. My contacts in the industry are widespread also. Whatever task/project you need done will take one call to me to get it started. You will not find reliability or sound craftsmanship like this. I only sub-contract if needed and the customer is always informed. Each contract is negotiated differently and I always find a way to work with the customer to come to agreeable terms.

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.
