The customer’s garden was highly valued, requiring meticulous excavation to avoid damage. As the project progressed and the customer grew more confident in Back40’s expertise, they requested an additional pathway in front of the wall to facilitate wheelbarrow access to the garden. The project posed challenges due to tight access, but the result was a secure retaining wall, preserved garden, and improved functionality for the homeowner’s outdoor space.
