Landscape, Construction Management Disaster turns Into a Mud/ LandSlide

What happens here

After the initial 20-degree slope was completed and deemed satisfactory by the contractor, the customer introduced a significant change. They requested that the backyard space be made 'virtually flat,' which effectively meant stiffening the already finished 20-degree slope to a much steeper 40-degree slope. This change posed a considerable challenge, as a 40-degree slope is significantly harder to establish vegetation on and maintain, increasing the risk of erosion, as noted by the contractor.

Goal: Change the completed 20-degree slope to a steeper 40-degree slope, aiming for a 'virtually flat' backyard.

What they say

Hide

THERE WAS ALWAYS a joke about your ex-wife in there somewhere. And the customer makes a change. He wanted the backyard space to be virtually flat, which would stiffen up this 20° slope to a 40° slope. Now, you can establish vegetation on a 40° slope, but it's a much bigger challenge. This job has changed considerably
