Tiered Garden with City Inspector & Weather Delays

A Tour of Landscaping Jobs I have lost money on.
What happens here
The speaker details a residential tiered garden project where a scheduled two-week job stretched into two months due to a combination of weather delays and city inspection issues. The homeowner added a second floor to their house mid-project, which created conflicts between the city, the house builder, and the landscapers. City inspectors became excessively particular about the retaining wall's placement relative to the fence line (requiring it to be precisely no closer than 4 feet from the fence), and every single stone had to meet their specific requirements. This illustrates how external regulatory bodies and changes in homeowner plans can significantly impact timelines and costs, leading to unexpected losses.
Goal: Highlight challenges from city regulations, homeowner changes, and weather on residential tiered garden projects.
