Railroad Cross Tie Retaining Wall Replacement in Carrollton, TX
In Carrollton, Texas, we replaced an aging railroad cross tie retaining wall with a strong, natural Milsap stone wall. The original wood structure had reached the end of its lifespan—weathered, leaning, and no longer providing reliable support. The homeowner wanted something sturdier, more attractive, and built to last for decades.
Removing the Old Cross Tie Wall
Our crew began by carefully dismantling the existing wooden wall, making sure to protect the yard and surrounding landscaping. Once the cross ties were removed, we loaded them into our trailer and hauled everything away, leaving a clean work area.
We then stabilized the foundation to ensure the new wall would sit securely and hold up against shifting soil and North Texas weather.
Building with Durable Milsap Stone
For this replacement, we used chopped Milsap stone—a natural material known for its timeless look and exceptional durability. Each stone was placed by hand, checked for level, and fitted for stability.
The finished wall gives the property both long-term erosion control and a major boost in curb appeal.
