Here’s a quick walkthrough of a backyard renovation we’ve been working on!
We took an underutilized hillside and turned it into a functional outdoor space with a new retaining wall and a permeable paver patio above.
The goal was to build something that looks great but also works the way it should. The pavers are installed over clean gravel chip bedding to promote drainage, with gray polymeric sand in the joints to help handle Cincinnati’s freeze-thaw cycles.
We finished it off with some simple hillside landscaping and subtle lighting on the columns to tie everything together. The railing will be installed shortly to finish off the space.
Another project focused on making better use of the property while building something that will hold up for years to come.
