Sunnyside in Sandpoint, Idaho
To protect this Sandpoint, Idaho home from the possibility of a spring flood, the entire home was
built 9 feet above the existing grade on a compacted subgrade of crushed rock. Sandpoint landscaper Special Additions Landscaping, LLC
built a two-tier, rolling retaining wall on the south side of the home to compensate for the sudden
change in elevation. On the north side of the home, approximately 3,500 yards of
earthwork was done to shape the site, move runoff, and contour a two-acre fenced
horse pasture. An 8 foot fence was built to protect the garden from deer and elk traffic.
At the north corner of the property a horse arena was constructed.
