COMBINED SCOPE
Elevated deck plus limestone retaining wall — one project, one crew, one schedule.
Many Hill Country properties have the same problem: a slope that creates drainage issues below and prevents usable outdoor space above. The conventional approach is to hire a landscaping contractor for the retaining wall and a separate deck builder for the patio — two separate bids, two separate mobilizations, two sets of scheduling headaches, and zero coordination between them.
The Bundled Site Solution handles both scopes under one contract. The limestone retaining wall is built first, terracing the slope and managing drainage. The elevated concrete deck is built above, creating the outdoor living platform. Same crew. Same schedule. The two scopes are designed to work together from the start rather than being bolted together by two contractors who never spoke.
Gravity-stacked quarry blocks terrace the slope, manage drainage, and create stable ground between the home and the outdoor living level.
Steel-pipe-piling construction creates a permanent, fireproof outdoor platform at the elevation that works best for the property and the views.
Equipment moves once. The crew is on site for the full scope. No second mobilization fee, no gap between the wall completion and deck start.
The wall height, terrace elevation, and deck height are coordinated from the design phase. With two separate contractors, that coordination often doesn’t happen and the result shows it.
One proposal, one contract, one person responsible for the whole outcome. No finger-pointing between trades when something doesn’t line up.
Retaining wall and deck work can be sequenced efficiently when planned together. Waiting for contractor B to show up after contractor A is done adds weeks to the overall timeline.
A Bundled Site Solution is most effective when your property has all three of the following:
If your property only needs a wall, or only needs a deck, we build those as standalone projects too. The bundled approach is an option, not a requirement. We’ll tell you during the site visit which approach makes the most sense for your specific terrain.
Free site consultation. We’ll assess the slope, discuss what’s possible, and tell you whether a bundled project or standalone scope is the right approach.
