The extreme slope on this rural hillside dictated a multi-tiered retaining wall approach. The treated wood construction is sturdy, long-lasting and economical.

Backyard Grading And Soil Retention

Improper grading after the home construction required some infill and proper grading for proper drainage. The addition of a small retaining wall and soil retention measures will last for years.

Client Testimonials

“Rick did an amazing job for us. We needed fencing removed from back yard, a parking pad installed, and a new fence installed around the parking area. Rick was quick with coming out to look at it and provide an estimate. He was also able to get us onto his schedule in a timely fashion and finished the project ahead of schedule and for a fair price. I would highly recommend Rick and his team and plan on using him for more projects in the future. They did a great job and the end result looks great!”

Michael P K

“Rick did the site grading and foundation excavating for a new retaining wall that we had installed. The whole project looks amazing!”
Dan M

“He did a wonderful job. He will not leave until I’m satisfied and it came out really nice.”

Kevin J

“Rick and his team did a great job on this project! They were able to complete the job in a timely fashion and were patient and flexible with the customer ‘s changing needs. The back yard project included grading and sloping, installing drainage, installing artificial grass, building a retaining wall, and adding roadbase to a driveway. The front yard project included building a two-tier retaining wall with a stepped walkway and room for flower beds. They installed artificial grass, and created a new driveway using roadbase. I would recommend Yellow Iron to my friends and family for their next outdoor home improvement project.”
