Final Grading and Aesthetics

in an individual case-by-case basis okay so plan wayne's getting materials i am gonna cut in our next piece of drain tile which is gonna be right in here we're stepping up our corner right here and then we're going to step up again right about here so that's the first thing that we're going to work on is get this base in get the rest of this corner built and then we're going to work on dialing in the grade behind the wall then if we have time left over at the end of the day we're going to start getting the front of the wall kind of grated out more gooder the previous retaining wall was built too high which then trapped the water between the swimming pool and the retaining wall forcing everything to go down and through it and without enough drainage aggregate the wall eventually failed what we're doing differently this time is adding a lot of extra drainage aggregate we're going to add geogrid into the wall which you can see going in place and we're going to shorten the wall forcing the water to not just go behind the wall but it can also go over the face of the wall at the same time [Music] today the homeowner added a couple of things he wants us to hump some rock back there for him he's going to have somebody else spread it around behind and in front of the wall it's kind of going uh for a two-tone look so first bit of it it's going to be the fort dodd white which this stuff is so expensive it's like [Music] it's like 83 or 85 dollars a yard for that stuff so got another load of that coming so it's my understanding the homeowner has access to some muscle that'll help them get that rock put in place but our job is to get it at least close to the work zone so we're going to stockpile it in the backyard for him all right we got our trench in for our edging that treading sure worked freaking great probably saved us like half a day because we have been running over this area for like almost three weeks so that would be a lot of shoveling [Music] so [Music] all right guys blaine and i are all wrapped up with our wall and if you'll remember remember this wall was loosey-goosey wavy davey it was tipping forward the radiuses were separating it had a good kind of wobble to it like that um there's a couple of problems that were causing that first of all it was irrigation all back here um the wall was built kind of shoddy and then the grade behind the wall was was way off so they had it was essentially a ditch that was collecting all the water and not going anywhere…
