What happens here

The homeowner's existing air conditioning (AC) unit needs to be relocated to accommodate the new retaining wall. The plan is to construct a small, temporary boulder wall to create a raised, level pad for the AC unit. This allows the AC unit to be placed on top of the boulder wall, preventing it from being covered by the new retaining wall.

Goal: Create a temporary elevated pad for the AC unit

Tools and materials

  • Boulders/Large Rocks N/A — Building the temporary wall for the AC unit
  • Landscape Fabric N/A — Lining the ground before placing boulders to prevent weed growth and provide drainage
  • Mini Excavator — Placing the boulders
