Current & Completed Projects

At this location we had to demo an existing retaining wall and set of stairs that were deteriorating. We brought everything down to the ground, built it back up with loam and built a new retaining wall.

The first layer of blocks are always crucial. You have to make sure you have base gravel, stone and piping for drainage and make sure you are level. You can use many different tools to see if you are level.

This is a picture of a retaining wall being built in progress.

Here is another picture of what the retaining wall can look like while you are still building it.

Here you'll see we are getting close to finishing the retaining wall. We always recommend solid blocks & piping for drainage when a retaining wall is over
