What happens here

Begin by leveling and compacting the base of the retaining wall. As the wall is constructed, lay out sections of geogrid, a crucial reinforcement material, behind the blocks. For curved sections, geogrid is cut and placed under the blocks to ensure they remain level and true, preventing any slight movement that could compromise the wall's integrity. Measure and cut the geogrid sections as needed using a utility knife.

Goal: The initial steps involve preparing the base of the segmental retaining wall and cutting and laying geogrid. Geogrid is a reinforcement material used to provide stability, especially in the main, straight sections of the wall.

i'll just shovel it back there behind the wall there probably well i'm gonna just start basing okay well i'll get those i'll get that grid on those blocks there and see about getting up in our couple courses while you're while you're working on that yep i'll just follow behind you now we've added geogrid which is a reinforcement material to the main length of the retaining wall but as we come into the radius we no longer need the geo grid for strength but we don't want to take it out because then the blocks could go down just a hair fraction and your eye may be drawn to that so we throw in just enough geo grid underneath the blocks that they all stay true to level as we round out the wall oh and i'm gonna leave in some longer reviews that sam likes to do on tools once that kid gets talking about tools he doesn't shut up so i'm gonna leave a few of them in today and you guys let me know what you think as blaine comes to the end of the wall you'll see him measuring the grade he's calculating where he can step the wall safely up and still have a course buried
