What happens here

The main patio area, referred to as the 'fun zone,' is constructed using Unilock Beacon Hill XL Slabs, bordered with two rows of Copthorne pavers. This entire project features integrated lighting along its borders. The design addresses the challenge of a sloped backyard, creating a level and functional space. A significant retaining wall, constructed with Unilock Sienna Edge Wall blocks, serves to hold back a large sledding hill. This wall is approximately 8 to 9 feet tall and is designed to incorporate three future water features, which will be fed by an independent water tank pumping water up behind the wall and out through spouts.

Goal: Create a level patio area and a large retaining wall with planned water features.
