About Hillside and Terraced Yards
A sloped yard can be a gift. Terraces create flat rooms, walls frame views and steps tie them together, but the walls have to be built right to hold the weight of the soil and the rain.
We design terraced patios with engineered retaining walls, drainage behind them, wide steps and planting that holds the slope, so the yard becomes usable and stable.
