This project was started May 1, 2009 and completed in one week. It was an outdoor living space created for a family residence located in Peters Township.

be run underneath a paved surface to keep from being crushed or damaged.

Bringing your hillside to life

Many homeowners in Pennsylvania are faced with the same dilemma concerning their backyard space, and steep hillsides. There are several options homeowners have with dealing with unsightly hillsides.

1. Retaining walls
2. Grading
3. Ignore it
4. Add a water feature and boulder scape. This concept has become very popular for homeowners who want to bring their backyard to life and utilize unused yard space. By incorporating rock, water, and plant life your once unsightly hillside becomes your own private sanctuary. The pictures below show a once unusable piece of yard space transformed into a backyard oasis.
