This allows heavy rains to soak into the soil rather than run off and cause erosion.</description></item><item><title>Re: terraced back yard</title><link>http://forum.angieslist.com/forums/thread/2522.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 16 Oct 2008 07:43:50 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">28d19596-6e6d-4425-91ee-b544415b3a58:2522</guid><dc:creator>nickmenard</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://forum.angieslist.com/forums/thread/2522.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://forum.angieslist.com/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=9&amp;PostID=2522</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Did it about a year ago with contrete faux-stone from lowes on a sharp hill to lake houston.
