Hillside Boulder Retaining Wall

A Custom Hillside Boulder Retaining Wall with Landscaping Lighting and More

This project involved building a unique hillside boulder retaining wall to solve a client’s problems.

The clients fought to maintain their steep, problematic hillside for years. It was unsightly, and nothing could be done with space. He also needed more parking spots for his children and visitors.

We excavated the steep hillside and designed and installed a two-tiered boulder retaining wall totaling almost 8 feet in height. The wall was custom-built and had spiraling natural steps built into it for easy access to the back entrance. The newly installed walls provided and new 20’ by 20’ additional parking area once the asphalt was installed.

Plants were installed around the retaining wall boulders, along with steps, to provide more aesthetic appeal. While softening the look of the massive boulders.

LED low voltage lighting was also installed. Pathway lights staggered up the boulder wall’s steps provided safety at night, and the dimly up-lit stone walls provided a subtle nighttime curb appeal and additional security in the dark.
