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.

Tools and materials

  • Level — Checking the flatness of stone tops during transitions

What they say

for excess water all right guys one last thing that I want to cover is two to three stone transitions and maintaining that same level or that same line of sight here we've got two stones stacked up and then we go to a three stone transition but we don't have this uneven top we still have a very fill as relatively flat top so you can see that it can be done and this is how you'll do a transition when you're working at changing your elevations inside of your wall all right you guys you got to tell
