The wooden retaining wall beams, treads, and risers are all nearing the end of their functional life. We removed the treated (creosote & pressure treated) framing and rebuild the retaining walls with concrete retaining wall blocks.

You can see the second gabion wall in the upper right corner. The concrete retaining wall begins there and will roughly follow the contours being laid out here.

Now it just needs the soil amendments tilled in and some beneficial plants added.
