"You wonâ t find a more honest, more professional or more skilled excavator/operator than Matt Mello, owner of South Shore excavation. Matt has now done two big jobs for me, the first being to rip out the old floor in our 4-car garage and install a new floor, the second being to dig up/expose and waterproof the garage foundation. In both cases, Mattâ s pricing was extremely fair, he delivered 100% on his promises, finished the work in a timely manner and left an immaculate job site every day. I really canâ t recommend Matt Mello & South Shore Excavation highly enough. If youâ re looking for a true professional who does what he says heâ s going to do, when he says heâ s going to do it, look no further."

with more than 15 year of experience and hard work, keeping the same quality of work every time, not just a contractor, but someone reliable to who you can trust providing Concrete and Paver Driveways, Stone Walls, concrete, stone or bricks Steps, concrete, Pavers Walkways, Patios of Pavers and Concrete, Stone Veneer, Outdoor Kitchens, Retaining Walls, we Also do wood and vinyl fencing, Landscape, Lawns mowing, trimming, Spring Clean Ups and Fall Clean Ups now doing snow removal.

"I contacted J&G on April 1st. They came out to do an estimate on the 2nd, and completed the work on the 3rd – extremely responsive and efficient. The job involved repointing two sets of brick front steps for a duplex townhouse and replacing a section of damaged wood fence. The new fence looks beautiful, and the steps (which had crumbled very badly before) are in good shape now. Although the work was done quickly, they took care over it and left the area clean and tidy. I would definitely hire these guys again, and recommend them to others, for repair/replacement of any brickwork, fencing, concrete or stonework in the yard."

FAQs for retaining wall installation projects in North Smithfield, RI

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.
