Decorative Stone Retaining Walls

Hi Julie,
Sorry that we haven’t been able to connect by telephone. Maybe I can explain a bit through this email.
Basically, we have a unique landscaping problem. There was a huge fir tree that we shared with the neighbors front yard. The tree died, but the landscaping was focused on this tree, so there is a large elevated round area with a rock retaining wall that now juts out at least 5′ into our yard. Without the tree, it doesn’t look right and we’d like to reclaim our front yard back. As it appears now, the neighbor’s front yard looks huge in comparison and the real property line isn’t obvious due to the elevated round piece.
I think that your design service would be good, but I should let you know that we had a former landscaper that we used when we lived in Fremont. He came out and already drew up plans, but I think we need a second opinion. Is it possible to hear your ideas and then if it looks like that’s the way to go – have you draw them up for the Express Design service? We would certainly pay you a consultation fee, but until we know what the plan is, I’m not sure we are ready to commit the $650.00.
Can you let me know if this is something that you can do?
Thanks,
Joni
