studio෇ॻӃTSUKE <br />West Dock Renovation <br />Big Island Landscape Project <br />The current retaining wall and path to the west dock are in disrepair and in need of renovation. The materials used for the retaining wall are not suited and the wall is poorly constructed. The path is too close to the edge of the water, and severly cross-pitched. This contributes 100% of any precipitaion directly into the lake as runoff. Additionally, it is becoming unsafe for walking, as the ueven stones and the cross pitch make it a tripping hazard that drops off into the water. <br />The proposed solution is to rebuild the wall using larger stones that are more appropriate for a wall. Additionally, moving the walkway in from the edge of the lake serves multiple purposes: it provides a buffer planting strip that will help filter runoff and those plantings will also help make the space feel less like it is pitching into the lake, The proposed vegetative buffer above and below the renovated wall and walk will serve to soften and hide the hardscape. <br />In order to build the wall correctly and replace the path in a better configuration, it will be necessary to remove slighly more area than is currently disturbed. The wall will need to be slighly taller at the south end to accommodate the slope that is cur-rently slumping with the derilect wall. <br />Existing wall
