This Ashbury Heights, San Francisco project was a challenge with its steep hillside and difficult backyard access. Our backyard transformation plan included: demo the entire hillside, install various levels of pressure-treated retaining walls, remove and build new stairs, build a deck on the bottom area and replace existing top deck, selecting and installation of plants, drip irrigation, lighting system, and pet-relief area.
