Retaining Wall, Steps, Paving

After a long break we’ve finally had enough of walking dirt through the house.

So…
digging (levelling the ground and making sure drainage slopes right)
digging (holes for posts)
concreting (posts in place – thanks Larry)
retaining wall (carpentry magic via Al and Josh)
crusher dust (spreading to bed pavers)
whacker packer-ing
screeding

then finally…
paving
rubber malleting

etc
