I need to significantly improve the grading in front of my house.
Unfortunately, this will mean adding lots and lots of dirt in front of my front brick wall, I estimate that I will need to cover 3 to 4 rows of brick with dirt.
Should I place something between the dirt and the brick?
If so, what?
Tar paper, tyvek, plastic, what??
Thanks in advance,
