Residential Retaining Walls

Retaining walls provide a wide range of benefits, including improved aesthetics, increased property value, and enhanced safety. They can also help prevent soil erosion, protect adjacent structures from damage, and create usable space on sloped landscapes. Additionally, retaining walls can be customized to fit the unique needs and preferences of each project, with a variety of materials, colors, and textures to choose from.

Types of Walls
Why you should replace them if you have one...
Railroad tie walls are retaining walls made from old or discarded railroad ties. They were used often in the construction of homes in the 70s, 80s & 90s. While these walls can be cost-effective and environmentally friendly, they are often prone to failure due to the degradation of the wooden ties over time. As the ties age, they can become weaker and more susceptible to rot, insect infestation, and decay, which can lead to the failure of the wall. Additionally, railroad tie walls may not be properly anchored or reinforced, which can further contribute to their instability. Failing railroad tie walls can pose a significant safety hazard, as they may collapse and cause damage or injury to nearby property or people. As such, it is important to monitor the condition of these walls and to consider other options for retaining walls, such as concrete or stone, in areas where safety is a concern.
