Transforming Backyards with a Memorable Ski Lift Chair, Rock Staircase and Retaining Wall in Sierra Meadows

Our clients wanted to maximize the usability of their sloped backyard while enhancing its natural beauty. They envisioned a space that was both functional and stunning, integrating seamlessly with the mountainous terrain.

The Challenge

A steep slope made the backyard difficult to navigate and limited usable space. Our challenge was to create a safe, accessible area that complemented the home and surroundings.

Benty’s Landscaping Solution

Benty’s Landscaping transformed the Sierra Meadows property by creating elevations to maximize space, add visual interest, and control erosion. Sturdy, stacked rock retaining walls support each level. Specifically, the team:

Constructed a Rock Staircase:
Using natural stone, we built a durable and visually appealing staircase that provides easy access across different levels.

Built Retaining Walls:
Robust retaining walls were installed to manage the slope, prevent erosion, and create flat, usable areas for planting and leisure.

Harmonize with Nature:
Local stones were selected to integrate the new structures harmoniously with the surrounding landscape.

Incorporating Native Plants:
We added native vegetation along the retaining wall to soften the look and enhance ecological balance.

The Result

The backyard is now a functional and scenic retreat, with the rock staircase and retaining wall adding structure and charm. It’s a perfect blend of utility and natural beauty, ready for relaxation and enjoyment.
