Once the retaining wall was up and performing it's function of keeping rainfall in my yard, it was time to address the pooling water after a rain. In the first photo above, you can see the back of the house and all the junk it collects. In addition to junk, when it rains, the paver patio by the grill would be under water.
This gave me my
Second-Big-Idea.
I need a large patio that will channel the water away from the foundation. Once I started digging, I couldn't stop. There is something very therapeutic about digging up sod and leveling the ground. The pavers above channel water from the down spout away from the house.
The first river.
