Project questions

Driveway-Side Retaining Wall and Steps FAQ

Why is this retaining wall built in tiers?

The approved images show a sloping driveway, so the courses step with the grade instead of maintaining one exposed height.

How are the steps connected to the wall?

The stair route is positioned within the same wall system, creating a continuous transition through the elevation change.
