The walls will be backfilled and <br />compacted with a soii and day mixture, reason being, the mixture helps the <br />boulders to settle and naturally lock together. Meticulous care is taken in <br />piedng the boulders together and dosing off the gaps. Also, by avoiding <br />fabric behind the wall, groundcover will be planted in the gaps to contribute <br />to the stabilization of the boulders and the natural look of the wall. <br />The granite steps will have a base of compacted gravel. The base will <br />be excavated in virgin soil and approximately 10-12 Inches of 3/4" gravel will <br />be plate tamped every 2 inches to provide for maximum stability. The step <br />treads will maintain a 12-15 inch width with the rough suribce fadng up for <br />traction. A hand-rail meeting all applicable codes will be installed. <br />Erosion Control Specifications: <br />A silt fence will be Installed at the top of the hillside and also on the <br />shoreline to prevent any erosion from filtering Into the lake. In areas around <br />boulders and steps, plant material and shredded hardwood mulch will be <br />installed. In open areas where equipment may have damaged the existing <br />terrain, a Futerra Erosion Control/Re-Vegetation Mat will be laid down. <br />• 1 <br />Hi <br />• .•- -s
