Stone Wall - Upcoming concerns - TWO

More drainage concerns on the lawn need to be considered. This is the area to the left in the above picture, looking west toward the canoe / cookout areas.

Inside the existing stone wall, under the lawn, were the original logs that defined the edge of the lawn at the water. Those logs have rotted. If you kneel at the stone wall, on the grass, your feet might puncture through the lawn into a hollow area. That is a bit unnerving. A couple of large stones, sunken into the grass, are currently a temporary protection.



To address this concern, dirt & old wood should be excavated, and that French drain (consisting of the perforated plastic pipe, surrounded by gravel) extended west.

After this is complete, leveling of the top of the existing stone wall, consistent with the permanent flagstone is needed.
