Landscaping…Day 2

The JLM landscape crew has been hard at work all morning at the “L” Shaped House. Andy and his guys are preparing the area outside the basement walk-out for the installation of the modular block walls and paver patio. In the first photo below we can see the limestone base in the freshly excavated hole. The top of the lower wall will end up at the white line painted on the far wall. The upper wall will step back a few feet and rise to the grade above.

The next photo shows Andy and the crew starting to excavate for the upper wall. The lower wall will end up being about 2  1/2 ft high, the upper about 6  1/2 ft. They will roughly follow the waterproofing still visible on the back wall of the house.

The video below shows Andy at the controls of the mini excavator as he starts on the upper wall excavation. As you will see the soil at the site is really sticky!
