What happens here
Following the completion of the main grading, the area immediately around the house foundation was prepared for its final landscaping. This involved ensuring a consistent and appropriate slope away from the house, maintaining a critical 8 to 10-inch clearance between the building's sill plate and the soil surface. After achieving the desired grade, a black geotextile fabric (often called weed barrier) was carefully laid along the perimeter to suppress weed growth and provide a stable base for the decorative river rocks.
Goal: Establish proper drainage and weed control around the house foundation.
