THE PROBLEM
A sloping back lawn nobody used, too steep for a table and wet at the bottom after rain.
WHAT WE DID
Cut a level terrace into the slope, built a low block wall to hold it, laid 380 sq ft of pavers and set a steel fire ring in a gravel apron.
RESULT
A flat, dry terrace where there was a slope, and the wall doubles as seating for eight.
WHAT WE DID, LINE BY LINE
Terrace cut into the slope, spoil hauled off
31 ft of low retaining wall on a compacted footing
380 sq ft of pavers on 6 in base, plate-run in lifts
Fire pit ring set in a gravel apron
Drainage stone and pipe behind the wall
WHAT THE OWNER SAID
“The patio has been through two summers and not one paver has moved.”
