Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The video begins with an overview of the project's goal: to build a new boulder retaining wall with integrated steps. The existing timber retaining wall on the side of the house is shown, which will be replaced. A helper is seen clearing debris from the area. The space under the deck has already been prepped with gravel and large stones, and the new wall will connect to an existing concrete patio.

Goal: Understand the project scope and clear existing elements.

Tools and materials

  • Concrete patio — Existing patio that the new wall will connect to
  • Existing gravel — Base layer already present under the deck
  • Large stones — Existing decorative stones under the deck
  • Old timbers — Existing retaining wall that will be removed
  • Rake — Clearing debris and smoothing soil
  • Shovel — Clearing debris and minor digging
