How NOT to help trees guys. (while building a retaining wall)
What happens here
The team continues work on the retaining wall. This involves shoveling gravel into place along the base of the wall. Geo-grid material is laid down on the compacted base, extending into the excavated hillside to provide reinforcement. Additional layers of retaining wall blocks are placed, and the area behind the blocks is backfilled with gravel, which is then compacted using a plate compactor. This process ensures a stable and durable retaining wall structure.
Goal: Construct stable foundation layers for the retaining wall.
