How to Install a CHEAP Boulder Retaining wall with just a skid steer and scrap field stones
What happens here
When constructing a long retaining wall or a wall that changes elevation, incorporate 2-3 stone transitions where the wall steps down or up. This allows for a smooth, gradual change in height while maintaining a relatively flat top surface for each section of the wall. Avoid abrupt changes in height or uneven tops, as this can look unnatural and compromise the wall's stability. The goal is to make the transitions appear intentional and structurally sound.
Goal: Create smooth and structurally sound elevation changes in the boulder wall.
