Solution: County Materials’ MagnumStone® Retaining Wall System creates a sturdy and attractive slope stabilization feature on this East Okoboji Lake hillside residence, combining functional support with natural aesthetics.
Durable Slope Stabilization with MagnumStone
Located on the scenic shores of East Okoboji Lake, this project required a reliable solution to stabilize the hillside behind the residence. County Materials’ MagnumStone Retaining Wall System was selected for its strength, ease of installation, and natural stone appearance that complements the surrounding landscape.
The MagnumStone Retaining Wall System is a large-block, wet-cast precast modular block retaining wall designed for demanding applications. Its engineered hollow-core design delivers exceptional strength while using significantly less concrete than solid block systems. MagnumStone is well-suited for challenging sites with excavation limitations and hillside applications that require long-lasting slope stabilization. Each oversized unit covers about eight square feet, allowing for faster retaining wall installation and reduced labor. With its natural stone texture and proven durability, MagnumStone offers a durable retaining wall solution that blends functionality with aesthetics and provides a longer service life than many traditional segmental retaining wall products.
The retaining wall extends across the length of the property’s hillside, providing essential soil retention while maximizing usable space. MagnumStone’s textured, stacked stone appearance adds depth and character, complementing the home’s modern rustic aesthetic and harmonizing with the surrounding lakeside environment.
The design balances engineering needs and visual appeal, ensuring long-term stability while enhancing the property’s lakeside charm. Its modular construction allows for efficient installation and future adaptability if landscaping needs evolve.
