Front Landscaping with Retaining WallIn the Glenkirk Area of Charlotte

A properly-built wall, and landscaping planted with care...
Have a look through the pictures below to see before, during, and after photos of this project.
All plants were hand-selected from the nursery and planted with premium organic screened garden mix soil.
The retaining wall was built to ICPI (Interlocking Concrete Paver Institute) standards on a foundation of compacted ABC crush and run (aka stone pack). Sufficient gravel and piping were used to provide for proper drainage locally behind the wall, as well as to carry the water from the gutter downspout via a solid drain pipe out the front of the wall. (This is why two drains are visible at the front of the wall.)
