As winter winds down, the soil under our feet starts to feel the impact of months of rain and cold. In many areas, the ground shifts more than usual this time of year. That motion can show up as cracks in small walls, sagging edges along flower beds, or pushed-out pavers near walkways. Choosing the

Sloped yards can make outdoor projects a lot harder than they should be. Trying to build anything on uneven ground takes extra care, especially if you’re adding weight through stone or block.

Winters in places like Jurupa Valley don’t always bring freezing temps, but the rain does tend to linger. This is when problems start showing up in outdoor walls that weren’t built to deal with moisture. If a brick wall design doesn’t allow water to move out and dry, the damp just sits there, locked in.
