Interlocking Pavers & Modular Retaining Wall Steps improve Landscape
Unsightly areas of your
Landscape can be transformed to a beautiful & functional space. This client in Ypsilanti had a unsavory area that grass would not grow. They needed access to their garage side door and as you can see, their existing
RR Tie Steps had deteriorated and where unsafe. The client contacted us for an economical & appealing solution to the problem.
We designed this space using
Fendt Holland Paver laid in a simple
basket weave pattern and framed with a
soldier course row of pavers. The client wanted a "traditional" laying pattern and for them, the
herringbone pattern was a bit too busy. Though I am an advocate of selecting a blended color, this client wanted a solid "Copper" color of
paving stones that matched the
clay pavers in the
front walkway.
The
Steps leading into the garage side door where replaced using
Fendt Country Manor wall & cap system. Steps are the biggest challenge for
brick paver contractors and nothing can replace experience & knowledge. Often the cost of constructing
Paver Steps is more because of the due diligence and time required to construct them properly.
Steps are the biggest failure of inexperienced
landscape contractors.
I often receive calls from potential clients who
"can not grow grass" in a area and want to have
brick pavers installed. Unless you are going to functionally use this newly created
paver patio or
walkway area, it does not make financial sense to use
brick pavers. Mulch or creating a landscape bed would be a more reasonable economical solution. Using a simple "Cost / Benefit" analysis should be considered before selecting
paving stones for unsightly & un-kept spaces in your yard.
