"Review is for JD Masonry in Osterville/Marstons Mills MA. Took over 1 year to complete a project that I was told would take 4-6 weeks. Disappeared for months at a time without any communication. Excuse after excuse as to why project was not getting completed. Average to poor work. I need to hire someone else to fix issues he created. He is very responsive however when it comes to asking for payment or discussing the project prior to starting. Worst experience I have ever had with a contractor/mason. Even the address and zip listed for the business do not match."

"New home construction in Wellfleet I hired Carlos to do the hard scape (30k) work. He gave us a competitive bid and had several crews to get the job done right and fast. Each of his crews that worked on our project were highly experienced and craftsmen. They were courteous, responsive and always kept the site clean and in order. This company goes out of the way to make sure you are satisfied and does a really nice job recommending ideas and ways to make the project standout. In todays environment with everyone short staffed Carlos had the crews and experience to get the work done. He was resourceful and found materials that were in short supply and always kept the project moving. We are exceptionally pleased and would hire Masonry Plus in a heartbeat. Highly recommend."

Retaining wall installations FAQs

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.
