What happens here
An existing retaining wall near a birch tree that was too close to the tree's roots has been removed. The plan is to replace it with a "natural stone outcropping wall" positioned further away from the tree. This new wall will also be built up slightly to retain the existing elevation of the bed, allowing for new plantings. The overall goal is to rebuild a retaining wall for aesthetics and tree health, while maintaining bed elevation.
Goal: Rebuild a retaining wall for aesthetics and tree health, maintaining bed elevation.
