Local Case Studies - Real Jobs in Lawrence
Three Jobs That Show You Exactly What to Expect
Case Study 01 · Alvamar
A backyard slope nobody used became the family's favorite room.
The situation: A family off Bob Billings Parkway in Alvamar, backing onto the old golf course land, had a yard that dropped off sharply past the deck. Water ran toward the house after every storm, the grade was too steep to furnish, and they had quietly given up on the space. They had been told more than once that the slope made it "complicated."
​
What we did: We started with a site evaluation and soil analysis, then designed a two level plan in a 2D rendering so they could see it before committing. A segmental block retaining wall to hold the grade and create a flat pad, a paver patio on the new level, and a built in grill wrapped by a low seating wall. We excavated, compacted the base, and set a French drain behind the wall to carry stormwater away from the foundation, then laid the patio with edge restraints and polymeric sand joints and finished it with low voltage lighting.
​
The outcome: The slope that nobody touched became a level, usable outdoor room, and the drainage problem was solved in the same build. The family signed on for our seasonal maintenance so the pavers, joints, and lighting stay right year after year. Finished in nine days.
​
✓ Slope reclaimed · ✓ Drainage fixed · ✓ Designed, built, maintained · ✓ Owner involved start to finish
Case Study 02 · North Lawrence
An old wall was failing in river bottom soil. We rebuilt it to actually last.
The situation: A North Lawrence homeowner a few blocks off the Kansas River levee, near Burcham Park, had a timber retaining wall that was leaning and rotting after years in the area's dense, water holding river bottom soil. It was one hard freeze from letting go and taking part of the yard with it. Two other companies had quoted a like for like rebuild without ever explaining why the first wall failed.
​
What we did: We told them the real reason straight: no drainage and no proper base against clay heavy river bottom soil that swells, shifts, and moves through freeze and thaw all winter long. We removed the failing wall and rebuilt with an engineered segmental block system on a deep compacted base, with gravel backfill and weep holes so water passes through instead of building pressure behind the wall. The steepest section we terraced into two shorter walls for stability, better drainage, and planting shelves in between.
​
The outcome: A wall built for the ground it actually sits in, not a repeat of the one that failed. It held dead straight through the following winter with no movement. The homeowner kept us on to monitor and maintain it going forward. Rebuilt in about a week.
​
✓ Failing wall replaced · ✓ Built for Kansas soil · ✓ Drainage engineered · ✓ Zero movement first winter
Case Study 03 · Southwest Lawrence, New Build
A blank new build yard became a full outdoor living space, and an honest call saved them money.
The situation: A family relocating into a new build in southwest Lawrence, off Wakarusa Drive near the South Lawrence Trafficway, had a flat, empty backyard and a wish list bigger than their first phase budget: patio, fire feature, walkway, all of it. New to town with no landscaper yet, they found us through a Lawrence neighborhood group and asked us to design the whole space and build what made sense to start.
​
What we did: We designed the complete yard in a 2D rendering so they could see the end goal, then helped them phase it. We were honest that they did not need the largest patio option to get the look they were after, and pointed them to a paver layout that fit the budget without cutting into quality underground. Phase one was a paver patio, a fire feature ringed by a seating wall, and a walkway tying it back to the driveway. When we finished, we hauled every scrap and left the site spotless.
​
The outcome: A finished, usable outdoor room in phase one, a clear plan for phase two, and not a dollar wasted on things they did not need yet. They are on our maintenance plan and have already booked the next phase. Phase one finished in eight days.
​
✓ Full design, phased build · ✓ Honest budget call · ✓ Spotless cleanup · ✓ Phase two booked
