Double Terraced Retaining wall crashes down pt2

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The presenter concludes the video by providing a detailed explanation of the benefits of using 3/4 inch clear angular rock for retaining wall backfill, contrasting it with Class 5 material. He demonstrates how the angular shape of the 3/4 inch clear rock (shown in his hand) allows the pieces to interlock tightly, preventing shifting and providing excellent stability and drainage with minimal compaction. This locking action makes the backfill incredibly secure. The video wraps up by looking forward to the next segment, which will involve completing the landscaping, installing the final capping stones on the retaining wall, and ultimately finishing the entire project. The presenter uses a small sample of the 3/4 inch clear road gravel to illustrate his point.

Goal: Understand the preferred backfill material and anticipate the final stages of the retaining wall project.

I'm gonna jump in here because Sam mentioned class five and in fact we actually don't use class five anywhere on our projects although you can we prefer 3/4 clear and this is the stone right here I want to clarify this it's 3/4 inches in size angular in nature and no matter what you do pretty much locks in place because of all these angles you hit it with a light compaction and it isn't going anywhere now on the next video we're gonna be wrapping this project up finishing the landscaping capping the wall and finishing this project out and that's all we got for you today god bless you guys go get them do me a favor hit that subscribe button hit the share button and hopefully we'll see you next time oh look at there's my wife up on the what let's find out what the heck is gone nothing well I'm sorry honey what are you what are you doing on the kids playground we have no kids that play on the playground by the way the grandkids and what are you doing up there they were supposed to fly over your work my wife is a registered nurse at the VA am I supposed to mention that is that okay to say and so the f-16s we're gonna fly over her work today and so she's just looking for him see on the next one
