Retaining Wall & Granite Steps Installation – Dixmont, Maine

Project Highlight: Retaining Wall & Granite Steps Installation – Dixmont, Maine

A Complete Hardscape Upgrade for Function and Curb Appeal

This recently completed project features a full redesign and reconstruction of a failing landscape border, replacing aging materials with durable, modern hardscape solutions built to last.

Our client needed a more reliable structure to manage the grade change between the home and driveway area, as well as safe, long-lasting steps leading to the entryway. The result is a clean, structurally sound layout that enhances both accessibility and appearance.

Project Features:

Retaining Wall:

• Built with Ideal Fat Face™ wall block system for strength and consistency

• Designed with proper drainage and base preparation for long-term performance

• Clean, straight runs with a curved section to complement the existing landscape

Granite Steps:

• Installed at the front entry for maximum durability and safety

• Natural granite selected for its longevity and resistance to wear

• Precise alignment with the new walkway and retaining wall

Walkway and Transitions:

• Integrated into surrounding landscaping and new wall system

• Stamped concrete surface for added traction and aesthetic value

• Borders and clean edges for a finished look

Site Finish:

• Grading and seeding around the new wall

• Drainage considerations and erosion control implemented

• Fully prepped for topcoats or paving work, as needed

Why This Project Matters:

This type of hardscape work isn’t just cosmetic—it adds real structural value to a property. With Maine’s freeze-thaw cycles, older timber or stacked stone walls often fail over time. Upgrading to engineered block and granite ensures long-term performance with minimal maintenance.
