What happens here
The video begins with construction workers laying the first course of retaining wall blocks. These heavy, gray blocks, identified as Unilock, are being precisely placed to form a strong and level foundation for the wall. The initial course is critical for establishing the structural integrity and proper alignment of the entire retaining wall. Workers are shown actively placing these blocks.
Goal: Establish a level and stable base for the retaining wall structure.
