- Excavate the hillside and haul off spoil — a flat 56′ × 28′ gravel pad cut into the slope.
- Set two tiers of 2′×2′×6′ concrete blocks (4′ tall each) with a 6′ bench between tiers, stepped ends into the grade, and peaked concrete caps on every run.
- Install 4″ drain pipe behind each wall, daylighting at the driveway on both sides, wrapped in 2′ of clean gravel and filter fabric.
- Grade side and back slopes at 2:1 to tie the walls into the existing hillside.
- Building pad ready for a 24′ × 40′ × 12′ pole building (shown in the model for planning — building priced separately).

How this price works. Each line is a complete scope of work at a fixed price — nothing gets added later for equipment, mobilization, or overhead. Quantities are measured from the design model; the excavation volume assumes original ground matches the finished 2:1 slopes and is field-verified against a pre-construction topo, and if anything on site changes what's needed, you hear it from us before we do the work, not on the final invoice. Pole building shown for planning and priced separately. Drawings are illustrative, not engineered construction documents.
