When the clients want to start living in their new home with a level backyard, I realized we could give them 3.5ft up and 3ft out of extra yard. It rained almost every other day during the entire job. The biggest task was installing 45ft of French drains off the 3 downspouts in the back yard. One of the gutters goes to a pop-up emitter and the other 2 go under the new yard and fence line to drain into the alley culvert. Finally, rebuilding the fence to now sit 9.5ft above its original location. Thanks to Robin Rents Equipment for the bobcat rental, Grayson Carter & Son Contracting for the 30 cu yrd of topsoil and The Home Depot and Lowe's Home Improvement for everything else. I'm still a 2-man crew for now and grateful Justin Wagoner has showed up everyday and put blood sweat and probably some tears into completing this transformation with me. To show their appreciation, my clients baked us some goodies. None of this would have happened without the refferal from my friend Bob Jackson who sold my clients this beautiful home. Many thanks.
