    Amazing work! Hard to believe how difficult it must be working in such cramped space. Bravo, boys, Bravo. You've brought a whole new meaning to "performing a root canal."

    I've been landscaping for 25 years here in California. You do some things differently. But, over all another great job! One thing that cracks me up. Your shirt buttoned halfway down your chest. Dude, don't ever change. That's funny. You're old school cool!

    Really good. That little strip of re-used bricks around the lawn will make mowing so much easier.

    I am a landscaper and have been for 16 years. I cover all aspects of landscaping and often build retaining walls with sleepers but I have never put them in like that. Great job guys well done 👍🏻

    Shouldn't it be a mix of peat / top-soil / horticultural silver sand?

    Not a bad job, don't like the idea of using grit on wet lawns dries it out enough so you can move it to prep it, but don't hold the moisture during the summer so brown lawns, few to long straight joints it the paved area , but apart from that it looks o.k 🤪

      It's an inspection chamber. If you don't know what an inspection chamber is, it's basically a manhole sited at a junction or bend in a drain to allow clearance of blockages.
