Sylvan Lake Boulder Wall
This older home in Sylvan Lake had broken concrete holding up these walls. We tore all that down, hauled it away and constructed these beautiful new boulder walls using predominately 18 – 24″ boulders, typical. In conjunction with this boulder wall project we also installed a stone step system to get from the lower garage driveway up to the front porch. After we built the boulder walls, the client had a new concrete driveway installed. Everything looks really good. Driving down this street you almost would not notice the driveway alteration, because of the minimal amount of disturbance to the existing landscape.
