What I want to do is put in railway ties (untreated) to raise the front of the lawn to lower the slope. Is there anywhere to get them (or something similar) so I can build a nice looking terrace. Or does anybody have a better idea (pictures would be nice).

How high is your retaining wall going to be (approx)? If I was you, and if it wasn't too big of a wall, i'd be looking at stone instead of railway ties, last longer and look better IMO.
