> Source: https://deviationcheck.com/divisions/31-earthwork/aesthetic-deviation/

A visible attribute (color, finish, texture, profile) differs from the spec or the architect-approved sample.

## What to look for in Division 31 Earthwork

Less common in earthwork but applies to:
- Erosion control blanket color where specified (visible at site perimeter, HOA-sensitive projects)
- Drainage composite facing material color or texture where architecturally exposed at retaining walls
- Silt fence color or height visible from street

## Severity

Default grade: Fix and Resubmit. Owner-sensitive; the PM confirms against the approved sample before accepting.
