Gravel Base Foundation & Timber Retaining Wall Reading PA

This gravel base foundation with a timber retaining wall is a true representation of what BedRock stands for. The homeowner wanted a durable gravel pad built into a hillside, and due to the steep downhill slope of the property, a timber retaining wall was essential to properly support and secure the pad. The retaining wall not only provides long-term stability, but also allows the pad to blend seamlessly into the natural landscape, creating a functional and visually appealing addition to the property.

Back bracing the timber wall
Back bracing the timber wall anchors the new shed pad securely into the surrounding landscape, providing long-term stability and ensuring the structure remains strong as the ground naturally shifts and settles over time.
The new shed pad
The new shed pad is being constructed on a sloped site, requiring a custom retaining wall to create a level and stable foundation. Before construction began, the slope was carefully measured to determine the appropriate wall height, with timbers strategically added where needed.
Once the back bracing
Once the back bracing is complete, fresh gravel is installed as the final step, creating a stable and finished surface for the new pad.
