Drystone wall finished, then a wall with BIG stones.

We finished the drystone wall in Daisy Ridge last week and we were very happy with how it turned out.

Next project was to use a small excavator to remove a wall and steps that were failing and replace them with boulders supplied by Solid Ground grading.

"Before" picture. Note the lean of the wall--it seems to be defying gravity.
Josh used a jackhammer to remove the concrete steps.

Next I had to pick out a boulder and start building.
Picture
This pile of boulders might look look chaotic to some people, but all I see is opportunity.
Picture
Since our machine lacked a "thumb", we had to chain each stone and lift it into place.

Here you can see the steps coming up, and I am using rubble and dirt to backfill the wall next to the steps.
Finished photos coming soon!
