Project Spotlight
Retaining walls and stairs Buttenshaw Drive
Year Completed:
2023
Details:
In this job, we secured a slope that holds a vegetable garden, providing integrated stairs. The wall was long and continuous around a corner where it supported a large slope and stand of banana trees in front of the house.
A second, smaller-height wall retained a newly leveled area and provided definition for an extra two-car parking space on the property.
