Yes, please post pics! My porch is crumbling, too, and is very narrow and rather hazardous. I have to get that and the walkway re-built, it's on "the list", so on the lookout for ideas.

Steps removal

Neighbor’s property starts here

Steps gone

rest of retaining wall

They hit bedrock in places. There’s a reason it is called Rockbridge County!

The retaining wall extended up into yard this end also. Will be graded downward.

Before pictures from this past Spring Season. All the plants and bulbs are in pots in the back driveway. The guys dug them out for me. I hope for resilience !!! I will have to look back at these to remind myself how beautiful it was .

Oh wow, that's a big project. Bigger than mine will be. Your retaining wall area was very nice before, must have brought a lot of cheer in early spring when you snapped the pic.

Do you have another entrance without so many steps?

What a transformation in the making — after 110 years, that wall certainly earned its retirement. It's great that you have a stone guy you already trust from the back garden in 2020, that makes such a difference on a job this size. I'll be looking forward to the after photos, especially seeing the spring bulbs back in those beds. Did the plants in pots make it through the move okay?

@porkchop_z5b_MI yes the back entrance is our own alley with all flat walkway and the big flowerbeds there.

@asjad492 they dug up the plants Monday and started digging. I will be replanting when the job is complete probably by next weekend.

We are having 20’s at night with sunny days all next week so hopefully I can start planting them back in by the weekend. c
