The Ugly Hill gets a makeover
What happens here
An excavator, fitted with a specialized grapple attachment, begins the meticulous process of placing large, heavy boulders. These boulders form the lower courses of what will become a significant retaining wall. The excavator operator carefully maneuvers each stone into position. Behind the newly placed boulders, sections of landscape fabric are visible, which are essential for preventing soil erosion and movement once the backfill is added, providing stability to the entire structure.
Goal: Large boulders are carefully placed using an excavator to form the foundational sections of a retaining wall, with landscape fabric laid behind to prevent soil erosion.
