This Roswell homeowner wanted to connect their back porch to the lower yard while adding usable patio space — without the yard feeling chopped up. We designed a flowing paver walkway using tan stepping stones that leads from the elevated porch down to a spacious patio area.
The retaining wall uses Rockwood Classic grey blocks with matching caps, providing both structural support for the grade change and a clean visual border between the patio and landscaping.
Project Highlights
- Stepping stone walkway connecting upper porch to lower patio
- Rockwood Classic retaining wall with grey block and cap accents
- Proper drainage integrated behind the wall to prevent hydrostatic pressure
- Compacted aggregate base — 6 inches for long-term stability
The entire project was completed in 5 working days, with the homeowner using their new outdoor space by the following weekend.
