At this Ogden property, we tackled a challenging grade difference where the east side sat significantly higher than the west. The original vertical railroad ties, worn and vertical, were carefully removed to make way for a new retaining wall that would both stabilize the soil and bring a sharp, finished edge to the property line.

Our approach showcased clean excavation and precise brick installation, ensuring durability and a flawless fit against the concrete driveway. The resulting brick wall not only withstands the grade pressure but also elevates the landscape's aesthetic with crisp lines and consistent mortar joints that reflect our commitment to quality craftsmanship.
