Overview

A reinforced retaining structure to stabilise a sloped plot for a new-build house, finished with natural-stone facing and tied into steps and landscaping walls across the grounds.

The brief

The slope and groundwater had to be controlled to secure the terrain above, while the visible faces needed a natural-stone finish in keeping with the house.

Facing

Natural-stone facing was laid to give the visible faces a finish that suits the house.

04

Landscaping

Steps and lower landscaping walls were tied in to complete the grounds.

Outcome

The terrain above is secured against movement and water, with natural-stone faces and integrated steps that finish the grounds neatly.
