Backyard Sloped Yard Makeover: Multi-Level Retaining Wall Construction for Usable Space
The foundation of many sloped yard makeovers is the construction of a retaining wall. This wall serves two crucial purposes. First, it creates a level area that can be used for a variety of purposes, such as a patio, garden bed, or play area. Second, it helps stabilize the slope and prevent erosion.
In the Mansfield project, Rogers Little Loaders constructed a multi-level retaining wall made of hardwood. This type of wall is ideal for sloped yards with significant elevation changes. The 800mm high stepped design not only provided stability and usable space but also blended seamlessly with the existing landscape.
Level Creation with Fill Material: The Foundation for Your Dream Yard
Once the retaining wall is in place, Rogers Little Loaders employs level creation with fill material. This involves bringing in, layering, and compacting specific materials to create a flat and stable base for your new backyard. In Mansfield, 25 cubic meters of CBR 15 class A fill material were used to achieve this goal. This high-quality material ensures the new level area can withstand weight and pressure without settling or shifting.
Drainage System Integration: Managing Water Flow
An often-overlooked yet crucial aspect of a sloped yard makeover is drainage system integration. Proper water management is essential to prevent erosion and protect your retaining wall. Rogers Little Loaders understands this and strategically installs drainage systems behind the retaining wall. This ensures water flows away from the structure, preventing damage and ensuring the longevity of your backyard makeover.
Turf Installation with Base Preparation: The Finishing Touch
The final step in a sloped yard makeover is often turf installation with base preparation. Rogers Little Loaders lays a high-quality underturf soil to provide a healthy and fertile base for your new turf. This base promotes healthy root growth and ensures your turf thrives in its new environment. They then install your chosen turf variety, like the Empire Zoysia turf used in the Mansfield project.
