Ledgeview took its name from the Niagara Escarpment, the dolomite ridge people here call the Ledge. It is the high ground of this ring. Fonferek's Glen sits inside the town, and the dolomite cliffs and waterfall there show you exactly what is under the yards nearby. Rock close to the surface changes wall work in two ways. Excavation hits refusal sooner than the plan expects, and water travels along the top of the rock instead of soaking away.
That second one is what fails walls here. Water runs the rock shelf until it meets something, and often what it meets is the back of a block wall with clay packed against it. Then winter arrives, the freeze reaches four feet down, and the ice does the rest. A wall on this ground needs a stone column and an outlet more than a wall anywhere else in the county does.
Dolomite is also the stone of this country, and boulder walls suit these slopes. Those stones hold the hill with their own weight. We set them with a machine, bury the toe course so the bottom cannot roll out, and build the same base and the same drainage behind them that goes behind block. Stone bulges where block leans, so we read the face before quoting anything. On block runs we cut Versa-Lok on site for the steps and the curves.
Height decides whether an engineered design comes with the job. The municipality sets that line, and we check it before the dig.
