We started this project in the Fall of 2021, build We started this project in the Fall of 2021, building three levels of Keystone Block retaining walls on a very steep hillside. In 2022 we continued by building two more levels with moss rocks, bringing the total elevation change to 15’ vertical feet!. Then, above that, we built this 30’ Pondless Waterfall on a 12’ high hillside, complete with California native plant landscaping and water wise irrigation. The project is in Pollock Pines, CA.
