A view of Lake Lure.  A cabin overlooking the lake needs a proper foundation.  The back wall of this foundation is also a retaining wall for a very steep slope. The retaining block wall is laced with vertical and horizontal re-bar, locked in with concrete producing a wall that is less likely to develop cracks than a wall that is poured concrete only.



Stacked and curvy.....
Terraced walls add interest and versatility to a slope. This stone retaining wall resembles a dry stack stone wall.  Concealed in this wall are multiple tie-backs (supports) and a French drain to drain water from behind wall.
