What happens here

The mini excavator is used to dig a trench along the house foundation where the retaining wall will be installed. The operators ensure the trench is dug to the specified depth (approximately 4-5 feet) and wide enough to accommodate the large Rosetta blocks, maintaining a distance of 6 inches from the house foundation. Workers assist manually with shovels to clear soil from hard-to-reach areas, especially around existing deck footings and under the elevated structure. The excavated soil is moved away from the work area by the skid steer.

Goal: Excavate the trench for the retaining wall

Tools and materials

Marker Paint — Marking the excavation area and lines
