What this job is
2000s landscape liners are in the ground all over First Colony and Memorial. They are brittle. Roots went over or through. Replacement is a new trench, not a staple.
Bamboo jobs fail when the lip was buried in mulch. We reset the lip and close the loop.
If the original run was in the wrong place — too close to the flare, too far from the walk — we move it. Repeating a bad line is how you pay twice.
Problems that actually show up
- A brittle sheet from a 2000s install
- Joints that opened
- A panel that heaved out of the parkway
- Bamboo hopping a buried lip
- Roots over the top of a too-shallow run
- A void behind the face in clay
Sequence
- Expose Find the old panel. Photograph it.
- Decide Repair a joint, or replace the run.
- New trench if needed To the current plate, not to the old shallow cut.
- New HDPE Locked joints, correct lip, restore.
