Village Landscape Development of Fenton, Michigan was at our house (off and on) for the entire month of July working on two projects.  The larger project was tearing out two stacked block retaining walls by the basement walkout and replacing them with boulder retaining walls.  This involved significant regrading of the area and the installation of drain lines for the downspouts from the roof and the sump pump.  This gallery post contains a selection of photos that show the highlights of the work from beginning to end.
