Are you looking for the best way to secure a steep earth slope on your property? In part five of this project series, we tackle the complex challenges of corner alignment and structural stability using gabion stone baskets. Watch as we navigate the tricky sections where manual digging and standard placement just aren't enough to get the job done.
This update focuses on the intricacies of navigating tight curves and varying slope heights. By using a clever substructure of gabion partition walls and carefully stacked baskets, we are creating a flush, professional finish that matches the existing wall. We also discuss the importance of aligning everything with a string line and using laying gravel for that perfect positioning before the heavy stones are added.
Beyond just the stones, we are planning for the future by incorporating empty conduits for lawn irrigation and electrical systems throughout the structure. You will see how to properly install geotextile to prevent soil washout and why using spirals and cable ties is essential for maintaining the stability of the baskets. This labor-intensive project is finally coming together as we prepare for the final stone delivery and reinforce the area near the sewage shaft for heavy truck access.
