After expressing relief that we answered their call, the customer requested drainage installation to address the issue. During the project, they expanded the scope to include a new patio, a rock retaining wall, a front retaining wall, and a gravel parking area. The project was completed on schedule before the rainy season, ensuring the property was fully protected. The customer appreciated working with a reliable team, noting Sam’s punctuality and dedication throughout the process.

We had a major flood in our crawl space due to lack of perimeter drainage being done wrong when I say major it was a disaster. Sam and Natasha were just fabulous caring and kind they fixed are problem and went above and beyond to help us. I honestly don’t know what we would have done as no one in Chilliwack would **help us. I highly recommend Back 40 Lanscaping to anyone🙂 before and after photos included 🙂* [WHITNEY ANGUS](https://g.co/kgs/WJMNXsR) - ![1_residential-landscape-with-bushes-and-lawn-before-hardscaping-by-back40-landscaping-in-chilliwack](https://back40landscaping.ca/hs-fs/hubfs/Foundation%20Images/Portfolio/Chilliwack%20Front%20yard%20Retaining%20Wall%20-Whitney%20and%20William/Second%20Upload/1_residential-landscape-with-bushes-and-lawn-before-hardscaping-by-back40-landscaping-in-chilliwack.jpg?width=1600&height=901&name=1_residential-landscape-with-bushes-and-lawn-before-hardscaping-by-back40-landscaping-in-chilliwack.jpg) -
