Rolling Hills Estates, CA. – Retaining Walls

Retaining Walls

Rolling Hills Estates, CA 90274. Concrete Driveway

The owner of this house wanted to create retaining walls that are both functional and elegant. The owner of this home also wanted to build a dirt ramp to easily transport her horses in and out of the property.

Our workers poured concrete walls in such a way to create a modern look, and they then applied a stucco finish to the walls.

Our workers also built a retaining wall to the side of the house to prevent the elevated property of the house next door from caving in, as well as two parallel retaining walls that were sloped upwards.

After the retaining walls were built, the space in between the walls was filled with dirt and compacted to create a ramp, allowing for the owners horses to be transferred in and out of the house.

Our workers built functional and elegant retaining walls that improve both the look, functionality and value of the home.

La Habra, CA 90631. Retaining Walls

The owner of this home wanted to build some retaining walls that incorporate some natural aspects into its design.

Our workers built retaining walls into the slopes the house was built on, with the main focus being stabilizing the hillside in order to prevent landslides.

The integration of the retaining walls into the hillside improves the look of the home. Afterwards the owner installed Jute Mesh Blankets on the hillside to further stabilize the hillside.
