How to build a retaining wall up hill
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
How to build a retaining wall up hill - This customer's front yard had a small failing retaining wall and the grade was a steep slope. We built a taller retaining wall with Techo-Bloc semma and graded the slope. The wall has several step ups to match the grade.

My stepdad told me - If you want a flat yard, buy a home with a flat yard. One of the most expensive things you could ever do is have a yard leveled.
these type of things blow my mind. 200 years people wouldn't comprehend that we can just watch engineering like this while eating our donuts in the morning. Great work.

If everyone would do construction work like this in the US, there would be much less problems. Great work.

Let's face it, the 3 foot wall gives the yard the correct pitch away from the house. Great job guys and thanks for taking us through the steps involved

It's always a blessing to work on solid ground, like your Delaware River area. Down in New Orleans area, where the earth more fluid or isn't so solid, we usually pile down anchors at minumum a couple feet, especially on the ends and cornersand make sure everything stay put overthe years.
Best thing to ever happen to that house. Looks great.
nice project! Always appreciate you explaining how you do these projects. Learning lots from you Sean

The best part of your wonderful job, is how you come about an inch or so off of both of your inside corners of your top 2 cover stone on the each corner, total of 4, for a great miter cut. Love those miter cut top stones, looks sharp and complete the apparent look of the finished product. Great Job!

Solid job. Looks really nice; I like that block.
Very nice job, but neighbor should have considered replacing those 6x6 wooden posts with a step down wall as it would have given their house a very clean / classy look compared to having that failing wooden structure.

@@nofurtherwest3474it's much easier to mow now. It's such a small area to mow, that a push mower wouldn't be a problem. So you really shouldn't be worried about falling off of it.
Looking good for the house and neighborhood 😊
great job! my only suggestion would be to use solid abs or schedule C perforated pipe which moves water much better an doesn't get crushed.

Hi. Its recommended to use geotextile sheet fabric to separe the gravel from the ground material. That guarantees a clean gravel all over the time.
Amazing workmanship.
I’m so glad the customers paid y’all to take the yard down a little it looks so much nicer. Hell of a job y’all did great job.

Very nice job. The only thing you missed was adding a drain cap on the pipe coming out from the wall to prevent debris and animals from entering the pipe. It also gives it a nice finished look.

Yeah... honestly, that drain pipe is the biggest fail in my opinion. Should have been further over to the corner, so as to drain onto the edge of the driveway and out into the street gutter. Even better would be to run it under the sidewalk to the street. When it rains all the water from that lawn is going straight out of that pipe. Who wants to walk across that sidewalk with a deluge of water pouring out of that drain? It's all going to end up pouring across the grass on the other side.

Great video. What an amazing improvement for the property. I always wondered how retaining walls were laid...I was always under the assumption you'd have to tie it into the hillside somehow so the wall wouldn't heave and buckle...the barrier of wash stone and drain tile behind the wall must be the secret, in that it keeps it dry behind the wall to aid in frost prevention and or water-logged soil pushing against the wall? Back-breaking work you guys do...my friend is my age (45) and does this for a living...Idk how he still does it. My back slumped over all day lifting heavy block couldn't take it!
I really like that system with the gas line pieces to get a lvl surface, its simple and effective...darn good stuff
Beautiful job y’all did

I installs paver and the method I used to have a level ground is the same one you did with the pipe. I do plenty of retaining walls as well but never thought of using the same method I use to install pavers to install pavers. I’m going to try it next time I install a retaining wall
