Last Minute Emergency- Boulder wall washes out pt#1
What happens here
After arriving at the client's home, the crew assesses the boulder retaining wall that has washed out. Significant erosion is visible, with large boulders precariously balanced due to the backfill being washed away. This creates an unstable and dangerous situation. The crew then uses a battery-powered Makita pole saw to trim obstructive vegetation around the first wash-out site to create adequate working space for the mini excavator.
Goal: Evaluate the retaining wall damage and clear vegetation for access.
