[ Search Result Limit: Project Description
| Please describe your proposed project: | We would like to move our current rock retaining wall back for an 18'L x 11'D section, where we would like to put sand and create a beach area. The rock retaining is already there, we'll just be moving it back. We may need to bring in more (similar) rocks in for additional retaining and would be bringing in sand. Only "vegetation" that would be removed is just grass. |
