About this detail

This landscape section details a concrete masonry unit planter wall flanking a concrete ramp, supported by continuous concrete footings over a compacted subgrade. The CMU planter walls feature waterproofing and drainboard protection on the soil side, with a minimum eighteen inches of soil depth and mulch held three inches below the top of the cap. An area drain with a dome connects to a four-inch perforated pipe wrapped in filter fabric within drain rock at the base. A handrail post is embedded one foot into the concrete wall footing with five inches of minimum cover. Adjacent concrete paving and cobblestone mulch areas slope toward drainage points near the building edge, which is protected by self-adhering waterproofing.
