"Brian and his crew did an OUTSTANDING job revitalizing & updating an old retaining wall and adding a beautiful new wood fence. Due to the rain & extreme heat we had, the project ran a little late in completing. But we were in no rush! The communication was wonderful, Brian helped with picking out materials & colors, and was even OK with us adding on a few extras. They were very careful around my lilies and lilac tree, which was a HUGE plus for me. We even had neighbors who asked for quotes! Very, very pleased with the whole experience with them, and will hire them again for the next project!"

"George did an outstanding job from the moment we called him for a bid to grade & redo our gravel driveway!! He came to our house and explained in great detail what he would be doing for us. He responded promptly to text messages, was honest, and very fair...and even showed us pics of his own driveway to provide a visual example. When it came time to do the job, he showed up on time and immediately went to work. He also took the time to explain what he had done during the process and encouraged us to give time for the driveway to pack down from driving on it and he'd even come back to touch it up, if needed. In addition to the amazing business qualities he has, he was also very friendly and personable! I had to ask for a stack of business cards to share with family, friends, & coworkers who also are looking for a reliable, professional, & trustworthy person who offers very good pricing for work on their properties. We highly recommend George and GD Services. We don't have enough good things to say about him! I strongly encourage anyone to hire GD services as you truly won't regret it!"

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.
