This backyard project in College Station – Bryan, TX, Texas began as an uneven and underutilized area with poor drainage and no definition between the patio and surrounding slope. The homeowner wanted to create a more functional outdoor space that tied into their new pavilion structure while adding both visual appeal and structural stability to the landscape.
Our team at Dickerson Landscaping carefully reshaped the terrain and began constructing a custom retaining wall using large natural sandstone boulders. Each stone was hand-set to ensure a natural curve and perfect alignment with the new brick columns that framed the patio above. Once the wall was complete, we added fresh topsoil, vibrant plants, and a new sod installation, giving the area a polished, layered look.
The finished result is a beautiful and durable landscape that complements the property’s outdoor architecture. The retaining wall not only controls erosion but also creates a raised garden that highlights the client’s new pavilion and outdoor entertaining area. With proper grading, plant placement, and attention to every detail, this yard was completely transformed into a balanced blend of natural materials and modern design.
