How NOT to build a retaining wall

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The video concludes with a walkthrough of the now completed main project area, showcasing the fully graded and straw-matted slopes, the robust retaining walls, and the accessible switchback path. The professional reiterates the challenges of the terrain and the expertise required to achieve a functional and durable result. He emphasizes that homeowners should always seek out qualified contractors with proven engineering knowledge for complex landscaping projects, rather than relying solely on aesthetic portfolios. The entire project involved extensive planning, heavy equipment operation, and skilled labor to transform a problematic slope into a usable and stable backyard.

Goal: Showcase the completed project and highlight key lessons learned.

be very careful about the kind of materials you use because that dictates the kind of rules you have to play to when you're building something. All right. So, this ground is so hard that Timmy's barely punching through it with the skid. Show them how tough this ground is, Tim. [Music] It's taken all the way to the skid just to try and punch through it and it's barely doing it. But yeah, that's how hard that is. We got to grade all that out up there. But then me and Brucey are working on this down here. So, I just thought I'd give you guys a quick update. Now, if this video has helped you guys out in any way, shape, or form, the best thing you can do is support our channel because YouTube doesn't. They put me in YouTube jail because they don't like a lot of my viewpoints because I don't know, sometimes when you call it the way you see it. People don't like that and you hurt some feelers and maybe you step on a toe or two. And I guess I've done that in the past. It is what it is. I don't compromise when I bring you the truth. Whether that hurts me or helps me. It doesn't make any difference because overall, I'm not leaving this world alive. And I'm not going to leave this world lying. Meaning, I'm not going to tell you something at my own benefit knowing that it could hurt somebody else, whether that hurts me or not. And it has. That's why you don't see my videos popping up on YouTube because I've said things point blank just like I'm telling you right now knowing very well that as soon as YouTube heard it, they were going to shut off my funnel. And so I didn't I'm still not going to get cave in and do anything different. So if you want to support us, go over to the Dirt Monkey shop, buy our t-shirts, buy our merch, uh enter one of our giveaways. It's how I'm now supporting myself because YouTube doesn't support me and I still want to make these videos for you guys. I still want to share the truth. I still want to tell you the right way that I've learned how to do things after being a contractor for 35 I don't even know how long I've been doing it. At least 35 years of building. I built this house. I built everything around. This is what I do. It's what I love doing and I love bringing it to you guys in the most straightforward, truthful way I possibly can. Regardless of whether it benefits me or hurts me, it does not make a difference. I want to make sure that everybody listening has the information to make the absolute right decisions when they're doing…
