The Story

The Reillys came to Osmundson Landscaping after contacting multiple other contractors. With an eight-foot-tall cement wall blocking two sides of the property and a huge hill on the other, these folks were not getting any other contractors to call them back after the initial site visit. The access to this yard was nearly impossible! However, Tony and his crew love a good challenge!

The goals of this project were:

  • A beautiful backyard patio and firepit
  • Strategic retaining walls due to a very sloped landscape
  • A finished look using quality products

This project was a BIG challenge, but we were ready to take it head on!

How it Started

The Design

We set out to build a customized patio and firepit to fit this challenging space while incorporating two retaining walls in order to provide structure and an efficient use of space.

The Process

To start this project, we literally had to build an access road to the property!

We used the onsite soils from the excavation process to build a road off the upper alley. Once that was created, we still had to overcome almost 30 feet of drop off to get to where we were working.

We had to dig out the back yard and build a retaining wall to hold the upper yard, then we built a lower wall to level the site for the patio and firepit.
