"I would NOT recommend this company to anyone. With that being said, here's why! if you want them to cause huge issue between neighbors, trespass on others lawn, threaten to shoot your dogs with nail guns, cause damage to your property and refuse to fix it, and when told repeatedly not to remove a fence or damage it, they ignore, disregard, and disrespectfully do all these things regardless! if you value your community and your neighbors do not hire them. They do not care! They will take your money and leave chaos behind. When I called several times asking them to just fix what they did, there words were, " Not my legal responsibility to have to do anything". What about just being a good company and doing what's right? The value of this company is a "0"! You may ask, well did I hire them? No. I am the one that has the damage and chaos left behind. I am the one trying to hold back my own dog in my own fenced in yard that they trespassed from getting threatened to be shot by nail gun, This is just a company who does not have the buyer or their community in mind! They don't return phone calls when you have important questions before work begins and just comes in makes a mess and leaves with your money and don't care. I called the police and they told them they were trespassing and they were in the wrong and as a company they still did not make it right. Even when I had photos of my fence before and after. If you value your neighborhood and your neighbors, hire someone else that will hold your standards just as high and protect the properties around the ones they are being paid for to place their work."

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.
