Retaining Wall Footing and Concrete Pad Installation Prep

Retaining Wall Details:

• Purpose: The retaining wall was installed to stabilize the soil and allow for backfilling, creating a level area in the backyard. This would make the space more usable for the client.

• Construction: The retaining wall consists of two main components:

  1. Footing: A solid foundation was poured to support the weight and pressure of the wall, ensuring its long-term stability.

  2. Stem Wall: The vertical portion of the wall was poured separately, providing the necessary height to hold back the soil behind it.

• Backfilling: After the wall was constructed, the client plans to backfill, which will level the ground and transforming the previously unusable space.

  
  

Patio Extension:

In addition to the retaining wall, the project also included a concrete patio extension. The extension features an exposed aggregate finish, which provides both a visually appealing and durable surface for outdoor activities. This extension enhances the client’s backyard, offering a functional outdoor living space.

With the combination of a strong retaining wall, backfilling, and the new patio extension, the client now has a much more usable and aesthetically pleasing backyard space.
