What happens here

Construct the boulder retaining wall by carefully selecting and placing large boulders. Utilize both manual labor and the mini-loader to position the heavy rocks, ensuring each boulder is securely nestled to form a stable structure. The goal is to create a seamless extension of any existing rock walls, matching the size, color, and pattern of the original boulders. This step requires precision to achieve both structural integrity and aesthetic continuity.

Goal: Build a stable and visually integrated boulder retaining wall.
