40 degree slope is pretty steep. They make a wire that you can cover it with and pin in the ground or you can grout it.

Re: Hi Guys, Need Yer Wisdom
Drift,
A 400 lb rock isn't too big. What are you really doing on this slope? how wide and tall is the area? What type of soil? What is the runoff area ? Is there anything you could put there that will withstand an earthquake? Do you have pictures of the area?

Re: Hi Guys, Need Yer Wisdom
This is part landscape design project ,pavers, retaining wall, woodwork.
I will cut down on the stone size,for safety. I bring in a landscape designer for our projects. hill soil has many surface tree roots. These boulders are for eye candy |

Re: Hi Guys, Need Yer Wisdom
Hey driftwood,
are you the same outfit as driftwood salvage that is running the pre-demolition sales on the penninsula. I think you run out of East Palo Alto. I read about your sales and I think that it is just awesome that you are recovering things to raise money for charity in East Palo Alto. that is just fantastic. What a great service and what a great business concept. I looked at your website and I am very impressed. |

Re: Hi Guys, Need Yer Wisdom
The outfit in East Palo Alto is called driftwood salvage.
Their website is driftwoodsalvage.com Check it out They run a big salvage yard and also conduct house salvage sales at homes that are slated for demolition. So, where are you in Marin County and what's the name of your firm. I am up in Marin all the time. What a coincidence! |
