Install Geotextile Fabric and Gravel Base

What happens here

Once the trench is excavated and leveled, lay down a layer of geotextile fabric. This fabric helps prevent the base gravel from mixing with the subsoil and improves drainage. Next, carefully spread a layer of crushed gravel (also known as base course or road base) into the trench. The gravel should be evenly distributed to the specified depth. Use a plate compactor to thoroughly compact the gravel layer, creating a solid and stable foundation for the blocks. Ensure the compacted base is level.

Goal: Create a stable, permeable, and level gravel foundation for the retaining wall.
