About our Project
Our team at recently completed an impressive boulder retaining wall project for our valued client, Sarah.L . The project required us to construct a 6-foot-high retaining wall using two-foot natural boulders, blending both functionality and aesthetic appeal to enhance her property..
How we did it
Step-by-Step Process
- Initial Consultation & Site Assessment We began with an in-depth consultation to understand Linda's specific needs for the retaining wall. After a thorough site assessment, we determined the optimal location and size, ensuring the wall would provide the necessary structural support while complementing the landscape.
- Excavation & Foundation Preparation Our team started by excavating the designated area and preparing the foundation, which is critical for the wall's stability. We installed a solid gravel base, ensuring proper drainage and preventing future shifting or erosion.
- Boulder Selection & Placement We carefully sourced premium 2-foot boulders for their durability and natural beauty. Each boulder was strategically positioned to create a sturdy, interlocking structure, using heavy machinery for precise placement. We paid close attention to ensuring even distribution of weight and proper alignment to guarantee the long-term stability of the wall.
- Backfilling & Compaction Once the boulders were placed, we backfilled the wall with appropriate material, ensuring proper compaction behind the structure. This step is vital to the wall's performance and longevity, allowing for controlled drainage and reducing the risk of soil erosion.
- Finishing Touches & Inspection After construction, we conducted a thorough inspection to ensure the wall met our high standards of quality and safety. We also made sure the wall blended seamlessly with the surrounding landscape, creating a natural, cohesive look.
Project Outcome
The result is a robust and visually striking 6ft retaining wall that not only serves its practical purpose of holding back the soil but also enhances the overall aesthetic of Sarah's property. Built to last, this wall demonstrates our commitment to high-quality workmanship, attention to detail, and client satisfaction. Linda was thrilled with the final outcome, appreciating both the functional and decorative aspects of the wall.
