Integrating Retaining Wall with Existing Structures

What happens here

If the new retaining wall abuts existing structural posts or footings, address any gaps or inconsistencies to ensure a secure and watertight fit. In this project, a 2x10 treated lumber piece was custom-fitted into a gap between the retaining wall and an existing wooden post. The lumber was then secured with brackets, and silicone sealant was applied to seal any openings, preventing debris or water from entering and maintaining the integrity of the structure.

Goal: Secure and seal the retaining wall where it meets existing structures
