What happens here

Once the trench is excavated, a layer of compacted gravel is laid down to create a stable and level base for the Rosetta blocks. The workers carefully spread and level the gravel using shovels and rakes. A plate compactor (wacker plate) is then used to compact the gravel base, ensuring it is firm and evenly distributed. This step is crucial for the long-term stability and integrity of the retaining wall.

Goal: Create a stable and level foundation for the blocks
