Kent with Rykstone Construction recently completed a major job for us. The job consisted of excavating an existing retaining rock wall on a steep driveway and replacing it with Verti-Block manufactured stone covering an area of 120 feet long by 9 feet high. The old wall contained gray slate boulders that were crumbling into pieces. The job was complicated because it involved demolition, protection of existing heat pipes in the driveway, site prep, wall construction, new irrigation and landscaping. Finally, we added an additional complex element of removing select aged crumbling boulders from the side of our property that were on a steep slope next to a roadway.
Throughout this multi-week effort, Kent expertly maneuvered the challenges of the job. He walked us through the steps, oversaw the work, tweaked the process as it progressed, and inspected all elements as it was done. Most of the work Kent did himself, ensuring that the utmost workmanship and skill were applied.
The final product is stunning. It looks natural, and blends well into the environment. It is stable, secure, and will last a lifetime. I highly recommend Kent and Rykstone for any construction job, big or small.
