Art has a heart attack on the job #unreal

What happens here

At the residential property, an excavator (Daewoo 75V) equipped with a CMI Attachments grapple attachment is used to carefully select, lift, and place large boulders to construct a new retaining wall. The boulders are strategically positioned on a prepared base, with landscape fabric laid behind them, to create a stable and aesthetically pleasing barrier against the hillside. The process involves excavating into the hillside to create space for the wall, which replaces an older modular retaining wall structure.

Goal: Build a stable and decorative boulder retaining wall.

Tools and materials

  • Excavator Daewoo 75V — Lifting, moving, and precisely placing large boulders
  • Grapple Attachment CMI Attachments — Gripping and maneuvering boulders
  • Landscape Fabric — Providing erosion control and separation behind the wall
  • Large Boulders Natural — Building the retaining wall
