2 walls

One new retaining wall built, and the existing one rebuilt alongside it

The pathway down the west side of this home ran across a slope that had never sat comfortably, and the existing retaining wall was no longer doing its job.

Trevor Dennewitz, who handles design and sales, worked out the remedy on site. Our wall crew, Nate and Bryce, built a new retaining wall and rebuilt the existing one so the two worked together along the length of the path.

Retaining walls are a large part of what our design and build team does. They hold ground that wants to move, they turn an awkward grade into usable space, and done properly they are the thing a visitor notices from the street first.

From the customer
“Nate and Bryce produced a beautiful retaining wall which increases our curbside appeal and more importantly increases our enjoyment of our home. Trevor, Nate and Bryce are a great team with which to work.”
