When it comes to curb appeal, this house has it all. Landscape Architect Brian Bainnson used Redi Pour to help design an oasis of retaining walls which doubled as a means for water retention on a steep slope in front of one of Miranda Homes’ newly constructed houses in Lake Oswego. In this design, installing the Redi-Pour walls gives our clients a more adequate use of their lot and also gives them a grand entrance to their house.
The amount of property that was available for this particular project was extremely limited. This is a common problem on construction sites that we are able to avoid by manufacturing our product off site in our controlled shop environment, then we go on to schedule accordingly between the installers and masons.
When the Redi-Pour forms arrived on site, there were no extra parts or wasted materials. Our engineering team was so precise in developing these forms that, once installed, they met Brian Bainnson’s exact specifications. Our time frame was also very impressive. What would normally take 1-2 months of labor was reduced down to 1-2 weeks!
The walls created for this project were engineered with a very organic, curved pattern. As you can see from the pictures, there are multiple curves and a few sharp angles. This design would be extremely difficult with any other wall system because you would have to have blocks custom cut for each bend. It would also have been virtually impossible to maintain an actual “retaining-wall” without the proper footings that Redi-Pour provides.
