Fighting Rain out on the job
What happens here
After placing the base course blocks and before finishing for the day, cover the entire work area with large black tarps. Secure the tarps by placing old retaining wall blocks on top to prevent them from blowing away. This step is crucial for protecting the newly laid base course and the surrounding excavated areas from impending rain and other elements, ensuring the integrity of the work completed.
Goal: Protect the installed base course and job site from rain and elements.
