"Review I would not hire this company again. Here are the issues I had: 1. Said came to do the estimate, we agreed on the job and the price. 2. He subcontracted the job out. When his subcontractor showed up he told me the shape and size of the patio wasnâ t what Said had told him. Said didnâ t answer his phone to clarify. I showed them the email of what Said and I had agreed to. Said never marked the ground. I didnâ t realize I needed to, because I didnâ t realize this guy was so shady. He later billed me more than the estimate and said it was because they used more concrete and he didnâ t know what I and the subcontractor had agreed on. 1, I hired him. 2, he never marked it. 3, he didnâ t communicate with either his subcontractor or I. 3. The subcontractors also didnâ t show up until approximately 4-5pm to start work. Said initially didnâ t give me a time, I wrongly assumed most people start work in the morning. When they hadnâ t shown up by noon I contacted Said. He said theyâ d be there 2:30. They didnâ t show up until at least 4:30. 4. The people who did the work stepped all over the newly seeded grass I had asked Said not to step on, as well as throwing their tools in it and in my plants. They also brought an unsupervised child who walked in the newly seeded grass and touched and played with all of my daughters things in the yard as well as my gardening tools. They moved my sprinkler to the point I couldnâ t find it when they left. 5. Once the patio was poured it didnâ t drain. Said said to me â Iâ m not an engineer.â Well Iâ m not either, but I donâ t hire myself out for $4000 as a concrete and patio pourer. 6. When I contacted him regarding the drainage Said didnâ t set up a time to come discuss, he simply texted me â Iâ m on my way to your house.â He later responded on the phone complained that he preferred face to face interactions. Then he should make appointments for that. He also said he had â mentioned drainage could be a concern.â If he is not capable of a job that drains correctly he shouldnâ t bid the job. If people want swimming pools they will ask for that, patios should not equal ponds. 7. Getting them to come back and correct the drainage required constant texting and calling on my part (not proactive on theirs). 8. Said asked for payment before I was able to inspect the work personally, he was quick to ask for payment, but not so quick to correct his shoddy work. 9. When they did come back they didnâ t even ring my doorbell or discuss the corrections with me. They walked on my property without notifying me or discussing work they were going to do to my yard. 10. No discount had been offered for all of this trouble and poor work."

FAQs for retaining wall installation projects in Platteville, CO
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.
