SOME OF OUR PROJECTS

A Large-Scale Transformation with Perimeter Walls, Drainage, and Custom Features

This massive project in Portuguese Cove was one of our most intricate to date. The homeowners wanted a fully integrated hardscaping solution to complement their home, featuring a perimeter rock wall, a custom stone stairway and landing, and extensive drainage solutions.

Project Scope:

• Perimeter Rock Wall – Designed for both aesthetics and erosion control.
• Custom Water Drainage System – To handle heavy rainfall and prevent runoff issues.
• Handcrafted Stone Stairway & Landing – A centerpiece that blends function and elegance.

Challenges Faced:

• Scale of the Project – Coordinating multiple hardscaping and excavation elements simultaneously.
• Precision Stonework – Ensuring every stone fit seamlessly in the stairway and landing.
• Drainage Engineering – Designing a system that would prevent erosion and flooding.

How We Overcame Them:

• Careful Planning & Coordination – Managing different project phases efficiently to maintain quality and timeline.
• Hand-Selected Stones – Every piece was positioned for maximum strength and aesthetic appeal.
• Custom Drainage Solutions – Installed French drains and strategically placed culverts to guide water flow properly.

The final result is nothing short of breathtaking. Watch the video to see this complete transformation!

Mastering a Steep Grade for a Stunning Residential Rock Wall

This project in Halifax presented a unique challenge: a residential lot with a steep grade, requiring precision excavation and expert engineering to create a durable and visually striking rock wall.

Challenges Faced:

• Difficult Access – Limited space for maneuvering large machinery.
• Soil Stability – Ensuring the foundation could support the weight of a boulder wall on a slope.
• Water Runoff Management – Preventing erosion and directing drainage properly.

How We Overcame Them:

• Precision Excavation – Our team carefully graded the site to provide a stable base for the rock wall while ensuring proper drainage.
• Reinforced Foundation – We installed compacted gravel and geotextile fabric for added stability.
• Strategic Boulder Placement – Each rock was carefully positioned to lock into place, ensuring long-term durability and a natural aesthetic.

The final result? A structurally sound and visually impressive rock wall that enhances the property’s curb appeal and functionality. Watch the video to see part of the transformation!
