Conquering another sketchy hill.

What happens here

After placing the main boulders, fine-tuning of the retaining wall begins. This involves placing geotextile fabric behind the newly set boulders to prevent soil erosion and improve drainage. Fill soil is then backfilled behind the fabric and compacted using a plate compactor to ensure stability and proper settlement, integrating the new wall seamlessly into the existing slope.
