Kersey | Retaining Wall | Utah
Project Overview
For the Kershey residence, we replaced a failing retaining wall with a durable, energy-efficient EPS foam wall system finished with steel. The project included two new retaining walls and a custom staircase system designed to provide both functionality and long-term strength. This transformation not only stabilized the landscape but also improved accessibility with integrated stairways leading to planter beds and the basement-level patio.
