  • The Functions of Interlocking Retaining Walls

    Retaining walls are often found in places where extra support is needed to prevent the earth from moving downhill with erosion. The most basic function of a retaining wall is to battle gravity; the lateral force of the slope must be offset in the retaining wall’s design. Retaining walls can also:
    • Provide more usable land
    • Manage water runoff
    • Provide extra seating
    Call (703) 339-8095 or visit the Yard today to discuss your retaining wall applications and review our products lines including Belgard, Nicolock, Keystone Hardscapes and Tech-Bloc.
     
     

  • Order Our Seasoned Firewood in Time for the Cold Weather!

    Cold weather is coming… time to order some firewood! Lows are going to be in the 20’s over the next few days. You can purchase RSSY Seasoned Firewood by the Cord or Half Cord, Pallet Homeowner Stacks, or by the Piece. Cord sizes are regulated by law and RSSY complies with industry standards. A full cord of firewood is 128 cubic feet of wood. It is a stack of split wood 8 feet long by 4 feet deep, by 4 feet high. Following are approximate cord and half cord dimensions:
     
    Full cord – 8′ x 4’ x 4’ = 128 cu ft
    Half cord – 4’ x 4’ x 4’ = 64 cu ft
     
    Firewood is a great way to heat your home or create that special romantic evening for your loved one.
    All of our firewood is seasoned, split, and ready to burn. Log lengths range from approximately 16 to 18 inches in length and are between 2 and 5 inches in diameter. Be sure to order your firewood early because when the cold weather arrives, we sell out quickly and seasoned wood becomes hard to find.

    RSSY Firewood can be purchased and delivered in baskets or cords or in pieces. Please call for pricing today.
