Brief Description of the job:
Landscape Design Altrincham – York Stone Retaining Wall in Progress
We’re currently working on the early stages of a beautiful York stone-faced retaining wall for a client in Altrincham. This is part of a larger landscape design and transformation project tailored to both enhance the garden’s structure and complement the property’s surroundings.
Our team has completed the initial groundworks, laying solid foundations to support the weight and scale of the wall. Precision and preparation are vital at this stage. With any retaining wall, especially one built with natural stone, we make sure that the base is perfectly level and structurally sound.
Working Under Cover – Whatever the Weather
To ensure consistent progress, we’ve erected a large marquee over the construction area. This allows us to continue laying and building despite the unpredictable weather conditions typical of the North West. By working under cover, we protect materials from damage and maintain a high standard of craftsmanship throughout the project.
Concrete Pouring and Reinforcement
We have recently completed the concrete pour for the foundation footings. This stage provides the essential support required for the York stone face and backfill material. Reinforcements have also been added where needed, ensuring the wall is both strong and long-lasting. These foundations form the backbone of the entire structure and must be completed with absolute care.
Traditional Aesthetic with Modern Technique
Once the foundation has fully set, the team will continue building the wall using traditional York stone, hand-selected for quality and finish. Each piece is laid with an eye for detail, giving the wall a timeless appearance while fulfilling a key structural role.
This project is a great example of our practical approach to landscape design in Altrincham—where appearance, durability, and expert construction all come together.
