Project Scope:
Hannah’s Haven is a Teen Challenge Center that provides a safe and stable environment for women who are in recovery from substance abuse. Southern Exposure teamed up with local churches to give this great ministry a back yard renovation. The house sits at the lowest point on the property and all water flowed to the back door creating a mulchy and muddy mess after every rain. We installed a new catch basin and redirected all other existing drain spouts and and underground drains to the side yard past the house. The pitch of the patio was also directed to the side yard. The patio, seatwall, steps, walkway and drainage was installed by Southern Exposure. The fire pit, mulch, shrubs and flowers were installed by Southern Exposure employees as well as many local volunteers and the ladies from Hannah’s Haven. The finished project created a relaxing space for the ladies to retreat to anytime for rest and meditation. Southern Exposure was so thankful to the many volunteers and employees that gave of their time and labor to give the ladies of Hannah’s Haven a backyard makeover.
