Hardscaping and Retaining Wall Project Before and After in Columbus, OH
A plain or sloped backyard has so much more to give once the right hardscaping goes in. This retaining wall project in Columbus, OH turned an ordinary yard into a clean, usable outdoor space with a solid stone wall and a bright new concrete patio.
Here at Supreme Concrete Solutions, this is the kind of before and after we love. In the photos taken on site you can see how a stacked stone wall, a built in seat, and a fresh poured slab came together to frame the whole yard.

BEFORE
A retaining wall that works and looks good
The heart of this project is the retaining wall that holds back the grade and gives the yard a clean, finished edge. In the photos you can see a stacked stone face with a smooth cap you can sit on, a curved section that softens the corner, and a built in stone bench worked right into the wall. A wall like this does real structural work, holding soil in place, while adding a designed look that a plain slope never could.
A large concrete patio for real living space
Inside the wall we poured a big concrete patio that gives the family plenty of room for chairs, a table, or a grill. In the photos you can see the broad, even slab with clean control joints and a smooth finish that ties right into the stone. Set against the row of arborvitae and the brick privacy wall behind it, the space feels private and complete, ready for Columbus summer evenings in Franklin County.
AFTER
A tip for a retaining wall that lasts
If you are planning a retaining wall, drainage is what makes it last. Water building up behind a wall is the number one reason walls bow, crack, or lean over time. A good wall is built with gravel backfill and a way for water to escape, so pressure never gets a chance to build, which matters even more with our Ohio freeze and thaw. Getting that base and drainage right is worth having a pro handle from the start.
