Berryton is an unincorporated community roughly ten miles southeast of Topeka, out toward Topeka Regional Airport. This is Shawnee County clay upland. Yards here got graded by machine and then held with whatever was cheap that season. For a long stretch of years that meant landscape timber.
Timber walls fail two ways at once. The face timbers rot at the ground line, where soil, air, and water meet. The deadmen rot buried in the hill, out of sight, and the deadmen are what hold the face back. A timber wall that still looks square can be standing only because the slope behind it has not gotten wet enough yet. Ground contact pressure treated timber buys a Shawnee County yard fifteen to twenty years, and then the wood gives up.
New face timbers on rotted deadmen buy the same failure a second time. We usually convert the wall to block on the same line and save your grade and your plantings. Behind the new face go compacted angular base, a buried first course, clean drainage stone, a pipe run to daylight, and StrataGrid tied into the courses where height calls for it.
Tell us what sits above the wall before we price it. A driveway, a shed, a pool, or a second slope is load the old timber never carried, and it moves the permit line too.
