| This is a camp located in Mill Creek, in which we along with the customer designed these two retaining walls. We installed walls to add to the appearance of the camp and to also help with the existing bank eroding onto the driveway. The walls also allowed us to bring the finish grade up to the needed spot on the foundation of the camp. These walls are made from a 6" beveled granite swirl in color block, with a matching cap. The right wall looking at the garage has 45" equal step downs and follow the gentle curve of the driveway. The left wall comes out from the camp straight ten feet and starts it's gentle curve to follow the flow of the driveway. Very nice finish look to a beautiful camp. The yard was re-graded and planted by us using a wild life blend, annual rye grass, starter fertilizer, and a coating of straw. |

| This is a home located in Mifflin County, in which we along with the customer designed these two Sidewalks and retaining wall block steps. On the front entrance/front yard sidewalk we used Old Town Cobble pavers in a modified herringbone pattern with a six inch soldier course (border course) . The color of the paver is called Autumn Blend, which is a blend of red and grey to make a very nice finished look against their deep red entrance door. The step into the home was created using six inch retaining wall block with a cap. We used a circular wall step pattern for the step with caps and filled the center in with the same modified herringbone pattern we used on the sidewalk. The second sidewalk we excavated and formed up using bendable forms to get a flare at the entrance nearest to the driveway. We used a heavy duty concrete blend with re-bar. We also built a side step entrance area out of the same blocks as the front entrance. |
| This is a home located in Mifflin County, in which we along with the customer designed these retaining walls and small patio located at the entrance to the rear door. We installed the walls to add to the appearance of the home and to also allow us to build up a level area we then used to plant new shrubs. We also rerouted the down spout and reran the down spout drain pipes under the retaining wall. The photos on the left are before photos and the ones on the right are after finished photos. |

| This is a camp located near R.B. Winter State Park, in which we along with the customer designed this 570 square foot flag stone patio and two retaining walls. The flag stone is thermal cut 1.5 inch thick, various color stone set in place using a random pattern. We used a high performance polymeric sand, Tan in color for the joints in between the flagstone. We also buried all the down spouts and installed two double-sided retaining walls, granite swirl in color with matching caps. Very nice job with a nice seating/walking surface. |

| This is a home located near the Point Store along U.S. Route 522 in which we along with the customer designed this 126 foot retaining wall. We set out to eliminate a bank that was hard to mow and also open a larger flat area up next to the existing driveway that will be easier to mow and serve as a nice area to blow snow on in the winter. We used a classic 6 inch beveled granite swirl retaining wall block with a straight faced matching cap. We wanted to pick up more flat ground next to the home with the wall as well. We stepped the wall down according to the existing grade and also matched the level ground behind the wall. Very nice wall that has a great flow up around the existing driveway. |
