Retaining wall, patio, culvert, sod, edging & more.
This project required a little bit of everything including a retaining wall, culvert, rock beds, patio, drainage, sod and brick edging. Being located on the bottom of a steep road with no sewer drains became a problem. Water started washing out the sub layer beneath the driveway so we installed a culvert to stop further erosion. Used railroad ties were used to build the retaining wall. After the walls were up we filled the beds in with Western Sunset Rock. The downspouts went beneath the retaining wall and terminated in the newly sodded area. We also trimmed their front landscape, removed poison ivy and installed brick edging. In addition the old patio and walkway needed to be torn out and replaced with the new Riverfront pavers. Creating the new patio and walkway really tied in the front and back landscape. In total, we were very happy with the end result. Below is an interesting read. It talks about the benefits a homeowner receives from investing into their landscape. Best of all, you are creating an enjoyable area on your property where you can relax.
Landscape design will increase the value of your home. Landscape design can be one of the best investments for your home, adding as much as 15 percent to its value over comparable houses. Fountains, fire pits, patios and even outdoor kitchens can create a space that is both inviting and environmentally sustainable. Research from Virginia Tech shows that landscapes literally grow in value over time. Meanwhile, traditional home additions or remodels start to lose value the minute the dust settles. (source)
