Construction:
Equipment would dig a trough or undercut and slope the land according to designs by
a landscape architect (see slide 5). Earth material would be used to build up the eroded
areas and then the shaped land would be covered with a landscape fabric.
The fabric would be covered with limestone boulders that would protect the earth of
the riverbank from washing away during periods of high river water flow.
Pockets of vegetation would be incorporated into the design to keep the natural state as
close as possible to existing conditions. Once the retaining wall is done the lawn would need
To be re-landscaped to fix any track marks or damage to the grass. 3
