The soil nail wall system consisted of approximately 64,000 square feet of multi-tiered soil nail walls designed and installed to stabilize steep slopes surrounding a residential home and extending along a 520 LF driveway. The system was engineered to provide permanent hillside support while accommodating the site’s complex topography and elevation changes.The Owner requested a natural-looking exposed face that would blend seamlessly with the surrounding geology. In response, Boulderscape utilized a sculpted architectural shotcrete finish specifically developed to achieve this objective. The G2 Fractured Basalt finish was created through on-site mockups that established texture, scale, and visual character, and was subsequently approved by the Owner for full installation.During construction, the Owner expressed interest in incorporating a water feature near the front of the residence. Boulderscape proposed reimagining the three-tiered soil nail wall at the front of the property as a cascading water feature. Upon approval of pricing, Boulderscape developed the design for the cascading water feature and integrated pond system, transforming the structural wall into a prominent architectural and landscape element.Final enhancements to the sculpted wall finish and cascading water feature included a custom staining scheme designed to unify all sculpted surfaces with the surrounding environment. The installation was further complemented by hundreds of strategically placed shrubs, trees, and creeping vines selected to grow into and across the sculpted face. This integrated approach resulted in a mature, naturalized appearance, creating the impression of a landscape feature that had evolved organically over thousands of years rather than a recently constructed retaining system.Boulderscape Finish: G2 Fractured Basalt            Color Scheme: Medium Earth Blend           Shotcrete Thickness: 1” - 5”                 Average Relief: 3”                      Retaining Wall System: Multi-Tiered Soil Nail Wall                              Shotcrete Mix: 4,500psi 1. 30% - 40% cheaper than form-liner finishes.  2. Faster to install that form-liner or stone veneer. 3. No repetition in the sculpted face.                  4. Use of fly-ash in shotcrete contributes to LEED points.                                   5. All finishes are created by hand-tools.        6. All finishes can be easily customized to fit any project.                                 7. A special integral waterproofing was used in the shotcrete to maintain a watertight structural layer.
