Retaining Walls

Hardscapes such as retaining walls can be made with concrete stone blocks or a variety of fieldstone to create either a natural or a formal look. When done correctly, the new wall will blend in with the terrain rather than compete against it. Any hill, slope or dip is an invitation for such a landscaping technique. Retaining Walls can help soften a slope or turn a steep hill into a manageable terrace. Additionally, it will make a boring, flat area more three-dimensional while adding height and depth for plantings. They invoke timelessness to the surrounding area and provide a backdrop for highlighting the colors and textures of landscape flora. Planted with trailing plants to cascade over the Retaining Walls and shrubs that flower in spring and turn golden in the fall, Retaining Walls compliment any home or business while giving a sense of permanence in the community.

Natural Stones

Dry stone is a term used to describe building without using mortar. Almost any type of stone can be used, from round fieldstone to flat Flagstone. In fact, the technique was developed many centuries ago in England and Scotland where farmers cleared the fields of vast quantities of rock and built endless dry stonewalls to define their fields and retain their livestock. Dry Stonewalling has had a recent resurgence in the Reno-Tahoe area because of its natural beauty and endurance under extreme weather conditions. Well-built dry stonewalls do not dominate a landscape; they become a sympathetic part of it. These are not merely narrow stones loosely stacked without mortar, but tightly fitted parts of a whole. The result is a structurally stable mass, which can move with the earth, adapting as required without falling down. Let us make your visions to reality. Give us a call at 775-853-1692 or 775-240-0399.
