My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Terracing Slope.

5 years ago
This looks cool, But I wonder how it would structurally hold up if it were curved to hold back the earth. or wavey form of terracing. Maybe 2 tiers, lowerer height. 24"

    Hi - it would still hold up fine as long as it is structurally anchored and braced behind the wall with steel and using concrete footings.
