"***SCAM ALERT*** DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY We recently discovered that Jacob (owner/operator of Precision Grading and Hardscapes) knowingly installed a cheaper product than we paid for without our knowledge. When we caught him in the deceit (after the work was complete and paid for), he admitted wrongdoing and acknowledged that he would refund us the money to make it right. He originally told us that he would ONLY refund the money that he STOLE from us if we signed a non-disclosure agreement and took down existing negative reviews of his work on Google. We pushed back, because its neither fair nor right to ask for our silence. He finally agreed to forego the non-disclosure and refund us anyway, but weeks later he has not refunded us the money and has stopped responding to texts and phone calls. He also did this to our neighbor. We are now filing with small claims court and have contacted the police. I have posted a more complete review on the full scope of his work on google reviews."

At Champion Landscaping, we have a variety of quality maintenance services including mowing and edging the grass, blowing the walkways, patios and driveways. We also have a pruning program that can assist with shaping of shrubs and trees, improving landscaping appearance and preventing plant overgrowth that can be difficult to deal with later. Our weeding service is very popular with our customers, as a little preventative maintenance goes a long way. Pre-emergent weed treatment stops weeds before they come out, preventing widespread growth later. Our landscaping services not only include installation of grass, shrubs, trees and flowers, but also distinctive designs. We provide expert advice on which type of plants that you may like match the intended placement and climate. A good landscape design includes different heights, textures, and, last but not least, color. Using a combination of these design themes adds life and character to your landscape.
"Champion Lawn is a SCAM. If you want your lawn mowed, they're the same as anyone else, but a a higher cost. Their people are INCOMPETENT- Their INcompetent workers cut my 30 year old Rhododendrons so far back that they killed them- then they killed my ground cover, then replanted it, then refused to pull the weeds that were choking it. When they finally started the weeding, they blamed me for it, gave up and cancelled my account. Mark, the owner is a nasty, unprofessional, rude owner- yes, the Company stinks from the head down. STAY FAR FAR AWAY FROM THIS SCAMMER"

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.
