How to build a Retaining Wall
What happens here
The video begins with an introduction to the project site, which features an existing backyard with an upper and lower terrace. The goal is to lower the upper yard to create a larger, flat, usable space off the back door. Currently, a newer Versa-Lok modular retaining wall stands alongside an older Chilton stone wall, dividing the terraces. The existing Chilton wall needs to be removed, and the Versa-Lok wall will be extended and integrated with the new section. The main challenge identified is that the two different types of wall materials (Versa-Lok and Chilton) cannot be effectively 'stitched' together for structural integrity, necessitating the removal of the Chilton wall and an extension using matching Versa-Lok blocks.
Goal: Understand the existing landscape, identify the problem areas, and plan the scope of the retaining wall extension.
