Before / during / after

The work at each stage.

Site conditions, prep, installation, and handoff should all tell the same story.

A backyard with a small garden split into 3 sections

Before

Nice, but not Perfect

Water was pooling at the further point, causing dangerous ice conditions, and shifting the garden each year
Homeowners wanted more definiton, they wanted to take advantage of the slope

A wall system being installed on top of bedding, with a drainage system in the center inserted into the wall, and leading out into a front weeping tile

Prep

Base preparation

Drainage was critical here. Homeowner reported constant pre-existing pooling at the front.
Wall pieces were provided by the homeowner through a reseller

Installation

The Wall is Coming Together

Installed in tiers to conserve wall piece count
Drainage system installed behind to ensure easy drainage in all areas

After

Mission Complete

Topsoil & mulch installed for garden, along with native plants friendly for pollination
Sod installed along the wall
Drain cover is ... the underside of a milk crate!
No more pooling issues!
