New Timber Retaining Wall and Backfill

With the holidays, the past two weeks have been a bit slow with little things dones every few days. next week is big as pipes and electric is scheduled to go in along with a new stone wall. Here are a few photos from the past week or so.

Side note, backfilling is expensive when you factor in a Cat and the stone. Recommend negotiating this stuff as much as possible upfront as many pool builders don't include backfill/compacting in their project.

The Backfilling Begins with Stone
Backfills the pool to what's called pipe grade so the pipes can be put in during the next step.
