Install Structural Protection (Cinder Blocks)

What happens here

This step involves creating a robust structural barrier using cinder blocks, positioned between the house foundation and the interior of the raised planter wall. These blocks serve to absorb the considerable lateral force exerted by the soil, diverting it away from the house's structural elements. This not only protects the foundation from mechanical stress but also creates a valuable air gap, which can further aid in moisture management by allowing some airflow.

Goal: Provide a buffer to absorb soil pressure and protect the house foundation from lateral weight.
