Landscape, Construction Management Disaster turns Into a Mud/ LandSlide

What happens here

After the boulder retaining wall and drainage systems were fully installed, the slope was re-graded to a more appropriate, stable angle. Erosion control blankets (possibly straw wattles or similar) were laid over the newly graded soil to provide immediate protection and aid in seed germination. The final step was to re-establish vegetation on the slope, typically through hydroseeding or traditional seeding, to further anchor the soil and complete the stabilization process.

Goal: Complete the slope stabilization and re-vegetate the area.

Tools and materials

  • Erosion Control Blankets N/A — Protecting newly seeded soil from erosion and promoting plant growth
  • Grass Seed N/A — Establishing new vegetation on the slope

hopefully stabilize this bank at cost, which means the customer pays the same rates that I am. The problem is we lost 2 weeks out of the busiest part of our seasons to do a redesign on a project that we should have never agreed to do in the first place. I want to hear from you guys. What is your story with change orders? This one was a landscaping mess that turned that just kept getting worse by the minute.
