FEATURED IMAGE: A 40 foot by 80 foot sloped area was excavated and two dry stacked retaining walls were built. Topsoil and sod were laid for a playground area. The wall material was a mix of bluestone from the Catskills ranging in size from one to two inch, two to four inch, and four to eight inch with some larger boulders for a substantial base.
