Construct the Versa-Lok Retaining Wall
At 14:40 in
Bad Start on the First Day
What happens here
Begin laying the first course of Versa-Lok retaining wall blocks on the prepared and compacted geo-grid base. Use a string line and a level to ensure each block is perfectly straight and level both front-to-back and side-to-side. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap blocks into place and adjust their level. Once the first course is complete and leveled, proceed to lay subsequent courses, staggering the joints for stability. The video shows the installation of a curved, double-tiered wall, with the second tier set back from the first. Use a level frequently to check alignment and ensure the wall remains plumb. This process continues until the desired height and configuration of the retaining wall are achieved.
Goal: Build a stable and visually appealing retaining wall.
