What happens here
Utilize your own property, or that of a trusted family member or friend, as a practical learning ground. For instance, if you want to learn how to build a retaining wall, build one on your property. This allows for experimentation with techniques like adjusting the batter or adding drainage aggregate without the pressure of client expectations. The speaker notes he even added a deck on top of his retaining wall to test its load-bearing capacity.
Goal: Gain hands-on experience and confidence by executing projects on personal or trusted property.
