Rock Wall frames an entryway in the Woods in Langley

This newly constructed home in the woods called out for a beautiful rock wall to frame the entryway and bring the elegant elements of nature from the surrounding woods in toward the home. Luc created this short rock wall, which will be the foundation for landscaping around the home. Above: the rock wall is under construction. Luc's hand tools are in the foreground.




The rock wall will act as a retaining wall for what might become a planting bed or a beautiful lush lawn. This time of the year there is a lot more water to work with both in the soil and raining down during work days. Above you will see some water that has puddled due to digging and earth moving that has taken place.
Above: measuring the length and width of the wall: a line marks the angle at which to build the back section of rock wall.
Completed rock wall!
