View from the condo

I had been contacted by Ed Hiener concerning a serious erosion problem in his back yard that was threatening his condo unit. The cause was a large drainage channel that was forced to make a series of sharp turns which caused the banks to erode. After his homeowners group became owners of an adjoining parcel we were able to redesign and realign the drainage channel. The changes improved the back yard area for several homes. Outdoor Designs did the grading and installation of the new channel. We did encounter a couple of boulders in the path of the new channel which remain and cause some ponding of water in the channel but allow most storm flows to pass. The homeowners are very grateful and are making use of an area of land that was overgrown with invasives and vines now.
