The site

The homeowner wanted to improve access through the backyard while creating more usable outdoor space. The project required retaining, grading, and stair installation to manage elevation changes and improve functionality. The property featured wooded terrain with steep elevation changes and limited usable space. Existing grades made movement through the yard difficult and required retaining and access improvements before final landscaping.

What we did

Site clearing, excavation, cross tie retaining wall installation, cross tie stair construction, grading, drainage improvements as needed, finish grading, and landscaping.

How it turned out

The completed project created a more functional backyard by improving access, stabilizing elevation changes, and expanding usable outdoor space while maintaining a natural appearance. The homeowner gained safer and easier access throughout the backyard, additional usable space, and a finished outdoor area that works with the existing terrain instead of against it.

Materials and notes

Materials included Pressure treated cross ties, drainage stone, and drain pipe.
