@Charger-ob8yl

This is ENTIRELY wrong. These geogrid walls NEVER need rebar for any height. As a CE who interned at a geotech company while in college, I've inspected (literally monitored every action of the wall construction from beginning to end) at least a dozen of these EXACT types of walls, up to 30' high and a few hundred feet long, (huge subdivisions and commercial sites) and the plans have never called for rebar. The only piece of rebar you'll see during the construction of these walls are when then drive a stake to tie their leveling string for the first row of block. The black grid material you see being placed, every other level, holds the backfill in place, by friction and the selfweight of the wall. One could build a retaining wall with just compacted dirt or stone and those geogrids, and it would stay firmly in place without the blocks even being there. The blocks literally serve no structural purpose in regards to holding back the reinforced zone. When built correctly, there is virtually no "shifting" or "readjustment" of the ground. Even basket walls that are 50'+ high utilize no rebar. EVERYTHING they did in this video is exactly correct, and there's nothing ommitted. This is a certified, professional wall. It's actually over-engineered, with all stone backfilled, where most of the backfilled could've been dirt. Your neighbor most likely didn't build a geogrid-reinforced wall. If they did, they used the completely wrong soil and/or didn't compact the soil. The soil has to have certain friction angle specifications, be at the ideal moisture content, and be compacted to 95-98% compaction, per the proctor. Out of curiosity, and in all due respect, honestly, what makes you come on YT with zero actual experience or knowledge of this type of wall and make some definitive assertion that you pulled directly out of your a**?

I did three, 5ft. tiers, stepping back into a bank (company didn't want to hire an engineer, so we were limited to 5ft per tier) with 3.5 feet of gravel backfill, for 180 feet of bank. The bobcat could only reach to backfill the first tier, and the trackhoe wouldn't fit into the space (and the bucket was unusably small, anyway), so I had to lug carry the gravel in 5gal buckets for all 6,300 cubic feet of gravel needed for the backfill of the upper 2 tiers. Oh, did I mention what the wall was made of? Not brick! Nope, irregular stone, that I had to sort by thickness, so that the rows were even within 0.5" across the entire length of the walls. I did the math. I carted, BY HAND, 210 tons of stone, not counting the gravel. I did the math. 60 separate 3.5-ton pallets of rock, stacked into a wall. Bobcat didn't help there, either. Boss got paid $50,000 for that job. I barely cleared $3,000. No bonus. I quit right after. Worst summer job I ever had. I'd have made almost as much serving smoothies at the mall, and there I'd have had A/C and a chance to interact with girls. Wish someone has told teenager me about predatory employers.

$10,000 wall to slightly flatten out part of the back yard?

It’s basically a drainage system too taking water away from the house

@@devinbird2753 Cheaper and much better ways to do that. I mean it is that person's house do what you want but yeah still seems very weird to put that retaining wall there..... But I am a person that put a 8 foot tall privacy fence all around my property to keep my cats from getting hit by cars and deal with coyotes.

​@@devinbird2753 That house is on a hill, the water will go away by itself.

Haven’t read all of the comments, so this may have been covered already. The geogrid you put in to reinforce the wall is installed in the wrong direction. Uniaxial geogrid is strongest in the direction it comes off the roll (machine direction) and weakest in the direction of the transverse bars ( cross machine direction). You need to roll out and cut the grid in the required length for your embedment in the reinforced zone. It’s a pain, but it is the right way to do it. Unless you have a biaxial grid that has testing for MSE wall applications.

That's a very solid looking structure

Kudos to this man! He did that and now he has a strong back!

I am an architect and I like the way of mixing materials just to meet the clients requirements. It is an art, not easy. Needs you to search 🔍, choose the right material, and then design. Takes a long time to finish.

Wow. Looks great. Lots of back breaking work. I thought we were going to watch an in ground pool video. Still looks good

It's thanks to random youtube content like this that I know have such an appreciation for amount of work put into cities period that I would have otherwise just walked by obliviously. We literally walk by, around, and on the sweat & effort of other fellow humans on a daily basis and there's something humbling about that. I know its not something considered amazing up there what he built but I'm just saying...I'm a straight up city girl and just never naturally considered what time craft and attention to detail it really took from people to build what I just stroll by on everyday

Finally someone that knows how to make a retaining wall the correct way

There's a lot of Science and Success in why this man Applied All that was needed to build this Wall,, American know How is Amazing

This was such a mild hill nothing was done for science this was purely aesthetic. Settle down buddy.

I build bridges and walls and it’s interesting to see the same concept of retaining walls used here

Great job doing it right……. I say this as an engineer that has testified in court against contractors that don’t. Most people don’t know how important the stuff you don’t see is that is behind the wall.

This is a great video!! I’ll watch 1000 of these instead of tick tok dances anyday!!

Beautiful work brother

That must have been very expensive, surely there is a cheaper way of doing it.

The cheapest way would be to have a grass slope….

This was purely aesthetic; the grass hill was fine. American boomers have so much money they literally pay someone to move dirt that doesn't need moving.

What an awesome job! Well done.

Hard scaping is very hard work, this man is as good as they come.

I am not a mason, so I don’t understand the concept of a non-concrete, non-rebar retaining wall. Aside from that, aesthetically, I must say, it is a very beautiful tile block wall.

Based solely on what I saw in this video, that slope looked fairly gradual. What was the point of expenditures on the wall?
