Plan The Work
Walk the property, understand access and priorities, and identify related grading, drainage or finish work that may affect the project.
Engineered-looking landscape walls, rebuilds, hillside solutions and clean finished grades. Serving homeowners and properties throughout the Lake Wallenpaupack Region & NEPA.

VIEW OUR WORK →Every property is different. Access, slope, soil, water movement, existing landscaping and the way you use the space all affect the right approach. McConnell Creations starts with the property in front of us, then builds a practical plan around the result you want.

Walk the property, understand access and priorities, and identify related grading, drainage or finish work that may affect the project.
Focus on a finished result that works with the surrounding grade and property instead of looking like an isolated patch.
Where appropriate, tie the project together with stone, soil, mulch, planting, grading or other landscape finishing work.
Yes. McConnell Creations focuses on the Lake Wallenpaupack Region and serves additional NEPA locations depending on the project.
Yes. Use the estimate form to upload photos and describe the project. It helps Lucas understand the property before following up.
Often, yes. Many projects overlap with excavation, grading, drainage, retaining walls, stonework or landscaping. The estimate can cover the combination that makes sense for the site.
A retaining wall is more than a row of attractive stone. It needs to fit the grade, manage water responsibly and create a practical transition between levels of your property.
Our approach begins with how you want to use the space: a more usable lawn, a stable edge beside a driveway, a cleaner planting bed or a better transition to steps and walkways.
We review access for equipment, existing soil and stone, nearby trees, runoff patterns and the finished elevation before proposing a direction. Some walls are decorative landscape borders; taller or load-bearing walls may require engineered plans, permits or specialist involvement.
A well-planned wall can connect naturally to stone steps, gravel paths, mulch beds, grading and planting. The finishing details matter as much as the structure itself.
Tell us what you want to change, and share photographs if possible. We will discuss the property, timing, access and what a successful finished result looks like.
After reviewing the scope, we can discuss practical options and what needs to happen before work starts. Estimates depend on the actual site and requested materials.
When a project combines services, planning the excavation, drainage, stone and landscaping together can help the finished result feel intentional.
Wall height, length, material, site access, excavation, drainage and the condition of the existing slope all affect pricing. A site visit is the best way to scope the job.
Often, yes. Terracing or a carefully planned retaining wall can create more functional areas, but the correct solution depends on the grade and water movement.
Some do. Requirements depend on wall height, loading, location and local rules. We will discuss when engineering or permits are necessary rather than promise a one-size-fits-all installation.
Tell Lucas what you have in mind. Photos, approximate dimensions and your town are a great place to start.
