How NOT to build a Retaining wall

What happens here

Workers begin installing the geo-grid by unrolling sections of the black mesh material into the excavated trench. The geo-grid is laid flat along the prepared sub-base, extending backwards into the soil behind the front edge of where the blocks will be placed. This step is critical for reinforcing the soil mass and enhancing the overall stability of the retaining wall.

Goal: Place the initial layer of geo-grid to reinforce the retaining wall's foundation.
