The project

A defined space beside the building.

Shaw’s Construction’s work for Big Sandy ISD includes a timber retaining wall and a gravel-finished area beside an existing building. The capped wall defines the raised area and its transition to the surrounding ground.

Five project photos show the posts and boards during installation, lining and backfill behind the wall, and the finished wall and gravel surface. Thank you to Big Sandy ISD for choosing Shaw’s Construction.
