Before the project began, our backyard had quite a slope to it. Now, the main part of the yard is nearly level and they're building a low rock wall along the edges of the (future) lawn.
Henry and Kathy checking out the layout of the wall.
At the south end of the backyard, the wall curves around and meets the seating wall at the edge of the patio. The area in the foreground will be patio; beyond the wall will be lawn.
