Midway · 1,400 sq ft
1,400 sq ft build on a high water table in Midway, Utah
A representative 1,400 sq ft build for Midway — what it involves, how long it takes, and what it runs to.
What people are solving for
On a slope, usable flat ground has to be built rather than found. That means retaining, and retaining means drainage before it means blocks.
How it goes in
Grades are shot and the terrace levels set against how the yard will actually be used. Walls are built on compacted base with clean gravel backfill and a perforated drain line behind them, because water behind a wall is what pushes walls over. Turf and paving go on the finished levels.
