So this pile of Rock is what was pulled out of the site. We knew that they would be there (thanks to the Geo-tech's work), but we did not know that they would be so large and beautiful. Our client's sister will be helping with the garden design, and I am sure that they will look great. Not good for a foundation, but great for the garden.
The clients and I met with Drew (the wood processor) and the contractor to discuss the wood that was harvested from the site. The White Oaks that we removed(reluctantly) are in process to become the floor for the house. This is a sample of that wood, gorgeous don't you think! In an effort to use what exists on the site for the home, I think the team is doing a great job!
I can't stress enough the importance of a good silt fence! After the images we all have seen of damage caused by floods, protection starts like this double row of hay bales and anchored silt fence. New development must take measures to retain water on site. When you change the existing condition of the site, provisions must be made to absorb the rainfall~ Mother Nature had before.
