We cover the complete range of waterfront bulkheads- from residential homes to commercial projects, from timber to steel sheeting. Our piers and docks create a secure land-water connection that can withstand the most adverse weather conditions. Xtreme Builders is a family owned and operated business that continues to grow thanks to our loyal customers.
"They surveyed the area and let me know the cost the next day. They even had to remove a lot of roots and stumps but didn't let that stop them. My wall wasn't on even ground, so they had to build it like a terrace. I am satisfied with their work. They even put weep holes in it for drainage, so wall doesn't build up against the wall over a period of time. Work is even guaranteed. I approve of this company. Allan was flexible on what I wanted done."

"Branch manager, owner said that they would look into concerns I had. Never got a response from either one. I was quoted 7 pallets of grass. Charged for 7 and they only used 6. Never received an explanation from manager or owner after requesting an explanation. Salesman told me that the vendor over stacked the pallets and that the sq footage was the same as 7 pallets. Well I wasn?t quoted sq footage. I was quoted 7 pallets. Horrible management and will not use or recommend their services again. Make sure your quotes are spelled out and understood. Garbage front office. Communication is non existent!!!!"

"A Dream Oasis Blooms in Retirement: A Glowing Review of A Cut Above Outdoor Specialty Services and Crown Enterprise of Jax. After 30 years exploring the world through our service in the USMC, my wife and I craved a haven to share with loved ones. We envisioned an oasis and “A Cut Above” brought our retirement dreams to life. Turning our vision into reality wasn't easy. It required a skilled orchestra of professionals, and Sean White and Tanner flawlessly harmonized with our electrician Derek and plumber Chris from Crown Enterprise of Jax. Together, they orchestrated a symphony of functionality and beauty, even amidst the holiday crunch. While today's costs sting, the warranty, quality, dedication, and personal touch Sean and Tanner provide are priceless. Remember, folks: quality materials, skilled labor, and peace of mind come at a cost, but they're worth every penny. Here's what we learned on our journey to paradise: 1. Specialists shine brightest: Don't chase the unicorn of a "one-stop shop." Trust the experts like Sean and Tanner for pavers, and find your own Derek and Chris for plumbing and electrical. 2. Wider Drains, Bigger Gains: Don't skimp on those drains! Wider is better, and remember, the magic truly happens underground with that 6" PVC pipe – crucial for keeping your oasis dry. 3. Futureproof with Tracers: Think ahead! Run those electrical and plumbing tracers for any future renovations. Thank your past self later! 4. Expert Ears are Golden Ears: Listen to your professionals!

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.
