Double Terraced wall Crashes down pt1

What happens here

Have a dump truck deliver 3/4 clear angular stone, which is ideal for a stable base and effective drainage. The angular nature of this stone allows it to interlock, preventing shifting and movement when water passes through it. Avoid using pea rock or Class 5 material as a base for retaining walls, as they do not offer the same stability. Use a skid steer loader to scoop and move the stone from the delivery pile to the trench.

Goal: Establish a robust and well-draining base for the retaining wall.

Tools and materials

  • Dump Truck Sure-Trac — Delivering the angular stone
  • Shovel — Manually spreading stone in hard-to-reach areas
  • Skid Steer Loader Caterpillar — Scooping and distributing the stone into the trench
  • 3/4 Clear Angular Stone — Creating the stable base and drainage layer

What they say

Hide

the base material is exactly the same as the draining zone 3/4 clear angular stone it locks in place and doesn't shift and move if water passes through it now you can also use class 5 as base but I recommend never using P rock in any application for a retaining wall at all never in the drainage zone and especially not as base material
