​​Want the backyard of your dreams? Know something needs to change but not sure what?
Over time our backyards begin to change, you decide to put in a pool, maybe the deck that came with the house is starting to rot and weather, or maybe you just want to look at something other than the same old grass and dirt you’ve been looking at for years. Well it’s time to call Albany Excavation and Concrete and let us walk you through how we can help you transform that backyard into a space you want to show off!
Most of the time a retaining wall will be necessary to help your backyards erosion pattern, they can provide a strong wall to keep the water uphill from running down to fast and bringing soil with it. But have you thought of them as decorative items? Maybe you want to add a set of paver or stone steps in that wall and make the entire wall itself decorative. When making these decisions, sometimes you don’t have to choose between functionality and aesthetics.
One option available is using the decorative and long-lasting look of pavers. Much like tile, pavers can come in an array of colors, designs and even textures; add that to the mix of ways and patterns in which we can lay them in and you have an endless amount of design options available to you and your new backyard!
A large upside to pavers is their durability, they aren’t a monolithic structure and they tend to ebb and flow with your site’s natural erosion patterns, this leads to a long lasting and good looking finished product.
