One Road, Five Transformations

Two tiers of grey stone-textured retaining walls along Hayden Lake Road, with a turf terrace, black metal railing and stone steps between them.
  • VertiBlock Retaining Walls

    Transformed steep, unusable hillside into functional, level space, while giving each property a clean, upgraded aesthetic.

  • Added Highly Sought-After Parking

    Carved out valuable parking areas on a tight, sloped corridor where space is at a premium.

  • Before and after: crumbling terraced block walls replaced by two tall stone-textured retaining walls with a level terrace and stairs.
  • Before and after: an overgrown slope beside a gravel drive replaced by a boulder wall and a level gravel parking pad along the road.
  • Before and after aerial: a narrow lakeside lot rebuilt with a stabilized shoulder and a boulder wall along Hayden Lake Road.
  • Before and after: a loose rock wall below a driveway replaced by a tall curved block retaining wall with stairs.
  • Before and after: a weedy roadside bank cleaned up into a stabilized, landscaped slope beside the road.

Excavation

Showcasing Our Past Excavation Projects

  • Holding the Shoreline

    Along this Hayden Lake waterfront property, our team handled full site work to construct a seawall to protect the shoreline, paired with a custom cabana structure built right into the retaining system. From initial excavation through final grading, the project transformed an eroding bank into a durable, permanent waterfront feature.

  • Camp Bay: Summit to Shoreline

    On this 40-acre waterfront property, our team is executing full site development from the mountaintop down to the beach. We're cutting and building a new road to the summit, running utilities alongside it, and clearing a separate access route down to the water — connecting a future custom home site to the shoreline below.

  • Wall of Stability: Raising the Bar in Retaining Design

    This project involves the construction of a series of massive retaining walls, and a sweeping driveway along the hillside overlooking Hayden Lake. The retaining wall is designed to stabilize the slope, prevent erosion, and create level ground for the driveway. The driveway is carefully engineered to navigate the steep terrain, providing safe and accessible access while enhancing the natural beauty of the lakeside property.
