Terracing

What This Service Involves

Terracing is the classic solution for a steep slope – a series of retained level tiers that turn ground you cannot use into gardens, lawns, or living space while controlling erosion. We design and build terraces with engineered retaining walls and drainage between levels, creating flat, plantable areas that are far easier to maintain than a slope. Beyond the function, terraced landscapes have a striking, layered beauty that makes a dramatic feature of what was a problem.
