New Construction on Landscape Three in 2011
Continued erosion on the shoreline calls for a new solution
The first step is to take out the remnants of the old fascine on the shoreline
Now the big rocks are brought in to build the toe
Laying the rock base for the toe
Gaps are filled with smaller stone (note the fabric holding the native soil in place)
Pea stone is added on top of the small stone
Forms are put in place and building the lower encapsulated soil lift may begin
Fabric has been laid down and the soil is brought in
Leveling and tamping down the soil
Seeding the lift before the fabric is secured
Staking down the fabric on the lower lift before starting the upper lift
Building the upper lift begins after setting dogwood shrubs to grow between the lifts
Staking down the fabric of the upper lift
Trimming off the tips of the dogwood shrubs and cleaning up the site
The completed encapsulated soil lift system, ready to grow plants
