Our latest before, during, and after! These photos are of a recent retaining wall project we completed in Lowell, MA last week. The old retaining wall was improperly constructed and was really becoming a safety hazard. We removed the old wall piece-by-piece and installed a new system that was not only safer, but more pleasing to the eye. We also set it further back from the driveway allowing for a wider entrance. After the driveway is repaved the project will be complete. Have a similar issue like this one? Give us a call today for all your hardscaping needs!

We replaced these rotted 2x6 boards with some cobblestones to give this gravel walkway a more natural feel. It’s amazing how a small enhancement can make a huge difference! Last season clients contacted us for an estimate of a new walkway install. The only way they could get from their back yard patio to the front lawn was through their garden. After a brief consultation and free estimate, we went straight to work! We designed a curved pea stone walkway and drew an outline where it would go so the client would have a pretty good idea of what it would look like before construction began. After the client approved the design and location we excavated 6 inches of topsoil for the 50 foot long, 3 foot wide walkway.
Landscape fabric was laid down on the subsoil to inhibit weed growth. Six inches of slate grey 3/8” pea stone was then spread in place and black metal edging was installed along the walkway to hold the stone in place. Lastly, the garden bed around the walkway was finished off with a fresh layer of hemlock mulch. The area was then ready for new plantings! |
