Before
The client\'s house is on a very steep bluff overlooking Puget Sound with a view of Vashon Island. The previous retaining walls were crumbling and buckling. The grassy area outside downstairs children\'s playroom extended to top of slope causing concern for safety. The path down to the beach was very steep.
After
The new design created a new play area for the children, a place for vegetable gardening, a place to relax and a place for entertaining near the water. New concrete walls (specially engineered) were installed to stabilize the slope while creating new level areas. New steps and paths were added to connect each of the new levels. The existing slope to the beach was re-graded and widened to allow for kayaks to be brought down the slope.
