Wood and concrete retaining walls.
Retaining Wall Replacement and Landscape Enhancement
To ensure the longevity of the retaining walls, we have replaced the outdated wooden structures with new, sturdy wood retaining walls. The selection of the new wood ensures durability and resistance to external elements, ensuring longevity and consistent support for the terrain. In conjunction with the replacement of the retaining walls, we have taken the opportunity to extend the retaining walls in specific areas to optimize the stability and functionality of the space. Additionally, as discussed, we have removed the existing stairs for a more cohesive and streamlined look for your project area.
For the bottom section of the landscape, we have replaced the previous retaining wall built with concrete blocks and river rocks with a newly constructed concrete retaining wall reinforced with steel bars. The utilization of concrete as the primary material ensures exceptional support and durability . To enhance its appearance, we have utilized a fine stucco finish which gives an elegant and cohesive look to the overall project.
To further contribute to the aesthetic transformation of the outdoor space, we have replaced the old mulch with charming and low-maintenance pea pebbles at the designated sitting area. These pea pebbles not only provide an updated appearance but also offer a more comfortable and accessible area for you and your guests to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
