Welcome to Reyes Hardscape & Construction, LLC! Our owner and operator, Isaias, takes great pride in his customer satisfaction. With over 30 years of experience in the industry, we know how to get the job done right the first time! Give us a call today to get your project started.
"They left a big mess after the job, they did not follow direction/measurements or what i provided for guidance. He would barely provide me a written bid, and what was provided did not provide any detail of how they arrived at the cost for materials or hours. The end result looks completely unprofessional, they have wonderful pictures on the website and Rubin sold me on the pictures he shared with me too and kept calling and texting about giving him the job. He was anxious to start the job and seemed cheaper than the other bid . He did great work on the pavers, but the retaining walls for the garden beds leaves a lot to be desired. they are uneven, they left sod in the flower beds, which I had to demand that they remove, but yet the grass is growing back now, there is tons of rocks that was left behind, inside and out of the beds, and on a couple of the beds instead of rounding corners they awkwardly squared them, it looks bad. One bed has a mound of dirt and rock spread out in front of it. They threw a couple of grass seeds on this hoping it will fill in, has not. It looks horrible! I tried to contact him to come back and fix things and he blew me off. I do not recommend this company, in fairness it maybe just this particular employee and his crew, but they did not do a nice job deserving a 5 star review and i won't use them in the future as i originally planned for a water feature. Super disappointed and ripped off! I wish i could upload the pictures and you all could see for yourself what a horrible job was done."

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.
