This course provides an overview on the parts that create a contract for non-engineered/licensor provided design segmental retaining wall (SRW) systems in a residential setting. In addition, this course overviews material standards and construction criteria that a landscape contractor should be cognizant of during the preconstruction, construction, and post construction phases of a non-engineered SRW or a licensor’s provided design SRW. In this presentation, a non-engineered SRW and licensor provided design SRW is a system in which a design from a licensed design professional is not required in order for construction of the wall to begin.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the necessary components and details for a residential SRW contract
2. Become familiar with the standards and expected quality associated with each material in an SRW system
3. Become familiar with the expected responsibilities of the contractor
4. Become aware of the criteria that should be met prior to, during, and after the construction of an SRW system
