"In the end, our new patio turned out great. However, the company initially failed to obtain the required permits, causing a cascade of delays. There were a series of problems resulting from a lack of a project design blueprint and unexpected changes in paver prices that cause delays and increased the cost of the project. in the end we ended up with a much nicer patio, but a project that lasted nearly 2 weeks instead of four days and cost an additional $10 per square foot."

"Highly recommended! My experiences with trying to find a landscaping business that actually responded to my request and even show up to look and provide me with a quote have been horrible. When Paola and her father showed up, listened, took measurements I figured I would probably not hear back (story of my life), but Paola sent me her renderings of what I was wanting and added her special touches and ideas along with a couple of price proposals. They listened to what I wanted to do. Paola is very creative as well as patient but most of all so very nice! They took those thoughts I had in my head and made them come true. Her dad is on site with the crew who went to work right away. All of them worked hard, and very professional! They cleaned up and left me with a huge smile on my face for leaving me with my backyard ideas made real. Cannot thank them enough. I have already recommended them to family and friends! "

At G & G Brick Paving and Landscaping, Inc., offer consulting for Natural Stone, Flagstone, Patios & Fire pits, as well as Interlocking Concrete Patio Pavers, Construction and Custom Decks.
"After the deposit was paid, the pro became slow to respond to our questions. There were a number of delays to the project. To be fair, this was during the summer of 2021 and most contractors seemed to be experiencing delays. We ultimately asked for our deposit to be returned. They seem to do good work. If you were to hire them, I would get a commitment to timing in writing."

FAQs for retaining wall installation projects in Mundelein, 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.
