Patio & Retaining Wall Installation Burlington, WI

You can see where the blocks on this old retaining wall were starting to fall off. Most notably is the left side of the middle row that has completely collapsed due to landscape erosion. We restored the wall and steps of this hillside retaining wall and seeded the yard for healthy growth come spring.
