Driveway Retaining Walls

Here are some nice words from one of our recent customers:

Robert, I’ve been meaning to tell you how happy we are with our finished job. All your guys, especially Brock, did a fantastic job and exceeded our expectations. The whole thing looks great. Thanks.

Thank you, it was our pleasure!

Here are photos of the job he is referring to. By the way there is a lot you can’t see in these pictures. There was grading, soil fill, and backfill with drainage pipes, among other improvements, intended to enhance the stability of the retaining walls and drainage control of water flowing down the slope.

This is a 245′ long Techo-Bloc Champlain Grey Mini Creta retaining wall with dark grey bullnose coping caps, in a series of step-down sections following the topography. The retaining wall borders the right side of the driveway, from the road to a garden planting area, with a matching wall coming back up on the left side of the driveway.

We upgraded an overflow parking area with this 65′ section.

Here is the garden planting area we enclosed with retaining walls.

Notice the drainage holes built into the wall at its lowest point. As stated, correcting drainage and wash-outs was one of the important goals of this project.

We upgraded a lawn and garden access path along the left side of the driveway, again with Techo-Bloc Champlain Grey Mini Creta retaining walls, and filled the walkway with white river rock.

If you look closely, you will see that we upgraded the customer’s existing night lighting with an LED low voltage lighting system to provide night time illumination along the left and right sides of the driveway. We installed ledge lights under the caps of the retaining walls, an additional transformer, and replaced existing fixtures as needed.
