Details of a Retaining Wall

This is the making of a handsome retaining wall which will add value and beauty to the property. With a little imagination one can see how these retaining walls create a place for nature to live artistically. There will be flowers blooming and interesting plantings that will have you guessing their names. There will be bees buzzing and butterflies fluttering. The chipmunks will scramble and the birds will sing.
The warm, colorful texture of the native stones blend easily with the contour of the land and invite one to be open to nature's song. You will want to pull up and just settle in the shade of the tree and get yourself a breath of fresh air.

Putting in the foundation of this landscape was a delightful experience for me. The owner stood at this end and had me walk to where he wanted the wall to terminate. He had me drive a stake at each end and said, "Build it from here to there and make it meandering." I did everything myself except the stone veneer. You can't call something 'hard work' if you love doing it. I like to do landscape work like this. It is something that really adds value in all the right ways.
