Retaining Wall

Minnesota summers are too short, so we make the most of them by getting outdoors at every chance; whether it’s up to the cabin, out on the lake, or just hanging out in your backyard, it’s great to soak up the sun, while you can.

This was the mindset of the homeowners featured in this post; they had a great property, but the space was underutilized and had drainage issues. They wanted to connect the front and back yards and to remedy the standing water they’d been experiencing, so they could better enjoy it.

Some projects are like a painting – a blank canvas, awaiting inspiration and the deft hands of skilled craftsmen; others projects are more like a sculpture – you start with a slab of marble, working with it and reducing it to its final form. In this case, the project was a sculpture, an overgrown front yard in need of refining.
