As a homeowner, you know that not every property comes with a flat, pancake-level backyard. Many homeowners struggle with steep slopes that are hard to mow, prone to erosion, and frankly, unusable.
We recently completed a project that perfectly illustrates how a well-designed retaining wall can change the entire dynamic of a property.
The Challenge: The “Unusable” Hill Our client had a significant slope in their yard. It was a wasted opportunity—too steep for a patio and difficult to maintain. They wanted to create a flat area for both parking and useable yard space.
The Solution: Structural Integrity Meets Design We excavated the slope and installed a heavy-duty retaining wall. But a wall is only as good as what’s behind it. We ensured proper backfilling and drainage solutions so that water pressure won’t compromise the structure during heavy rains.
The Result By cutting into the grade and securing it with the new wall, the homeowners gained new, flat yard space. What was once a maintenance headache is now the highlight of their landscape.
